#FOWC #Shake
Sailing through the air, go the dice
Hitting the table hard
A chance you get a double six ?
King of wishful thinking
Everyone knows those odds are long
Someone’s setting pulses racing
Hearts all a flutter
As the fruit and icecream
Keep pulsing and turning in the blender
Entry into the glass – moments away
#Fowc #Whistle #Acrostic
When the pea begins to rattle, the noise
Hits the high notes
It’s time for the action to begin, a
Signal from the official
Time to get underway
Let’s get moving
Excitement – building
#Fowc #Poetic
Performing Penguin
on the ice
engages with his fellow birds
the only way he can
in the art of juggling his dinner
could you call it poetry in motion ? the audience think so

#Fowc #Aquarium #Fish
A picture of the underwater world
quorums of fish meet up in view of human eyes
under temperature controls
as schools of fish travel around
richly seeded beds of coloured gravel
in search of the fish food, hidden
under each pebble and on each sunken artifact
moving quickly past the glass
#FOWC #District
Down in the city
is a network of streets and buildings
some find it puzzling – so
to aid the visiting traveller
regions of the big city have been broken up
in an attempt to make things easier
city dwellers, can’t see these dividing lines though
to them – we all live in the same place
#fowc #bubble
Bath times they appear
up from the water churned up by the tap
bathroom ducks smiling as they
bobble up and down on the foamy bubbles
looking at one – is like looking at a rainbow on the water
except , unlike a rainbow – these disappear – far too soon
#fowc #referee #sport #football #rules #ball
It’s a funny old game is Football
You walk for miles down roads and up stairs
to get to those golden ticketed chairs –
then as players take to the field
you wait for the referee to yield –
the man in the middle – you await his call
and for stars on the pitch to start kicking the ball.
Then as it does,
and ball travels back
a flag or a whistle stops the attack
and you lament the official – in yellow blue or black
But in his defence – he follows the rules
and his fellows know their stuff – they’re no fools
So when whistle is signalled and games underway
They’re there to ensure there’s a bit of fair play.
And when defender tackles striker,
and he goes in far too hard.
The Man in the middle gives warning
with a bright yellow coloured card.
And player knows better, to look out instead
as the last thing he wants to see is red!
And when the match is over,
He whistles out to all…
“The match time is now finished –
That’s the last kick of the ball!”
#fowc #dearth
whenever you hear of a crisis
you always hear this word
you never hear of a glut of solutions
that idea’s absurd
adequate isn’t the description
if it was – it wouldn’t be heard
scarce is more near the truth
no supplies to be found – that’s the word
#fowc #inventory
It’s a kind of a list
noting down every item – someone
values in their home, or business
each item is different – some big some small
now this is important, when changes occur
taking note of what’s there and what’s not
on occasion, things do need to be
replaced, and it helps to know
your important stuff
#freedomofexpression #iscriblr
Creativity
reality is – its your own
expression – you can do it through
a range of forms – music, dance, photography, or art
the choice is really down to you
if you want to make something – do it
versatility is the name of the game
indeed, what you make could be read, listened to, watched or eaten
there’s a host of things you could do to showcase your talent
you never know, if you don’t give it a try
