A piece by inky with a little bit of art…..
#Freedomofexpression #Art
A response to the latest challenge from Iscriblrs Freedom of expression series
(and yes – I will be getting arty with his one!)
A pencil and paper – the start of the process
Composing where the individual flowers went
Encapsulating the sandstone sundial at its heart
Transferred to hardened plastic
And painted in translucent paint
The final result ? A stained window without glass –
Exceptional

A tale of two neighbourhood cats – c/o my profile on allpoetry.com
Sat on a grassy spot,
someplace by the house
two brothers sit on the outside porch
dreaming about a mouse
They’re waiting for their mum
to serve up summat for tea
and have been playing in the backyard
rolling in the grass with glee
Prowling through the green grass
as not to be seen or heard
pouncing on patches of lawn
hunting for a bird
Climbing on tables and chairs
in their fur all black and white
pondering what’s their catfood tray
thinking – what’s for tea tonight ?
Salford, 25th March
Spring has definitely sprung
The rock gardens resident birds
Announced it…the acer is in bloom they chirped
Rejoicing at the sight of little pink buds
They don’t look much at the minute but
Eventually, the wind will stop moving the branches and the
Red and pink blossoms will start to appear

I hear the mercury creeping up the kitchen thermometer
but the boiler’s having none of it
steam rising in the cold air from his friend , the kettle
white mist still apparent from outside
while red skies mix with blue as evening falls
and the evergreens move in the breeze
whilst behind a spruce – an acer’s branches sing
“We’ll be waking up soon
Announcing the spring!”
Salford, 9th March 2019
A patch of earth on some barren land
Was turned over, fed and watered
Earth dug up in places on
Seeds or bulbs planted
Over the next few months, the process continued – and
Moments passed – until the arrival of a green leaf popping out of the ground
Expect rainbows of colour over the next few weeks.
Salford, 2nd March 2019
Winter wasn’t kind to our friend round the back
Who was anchored to the rocks by its roots
The evergreens kept a watchful eye
As it sat there dormant in the wind rain and snow
Till one day last week – a clarion call
from our feathered chums returning from their homes in the south
“Spring’s arriving, the sun’s getting warmer”
and our little plant from the far east
began to wake up – and grow its buds
The birds they all cheered – and the wildlife revered
For as they did cheep – out of slumber the maple creeped

#Spring #Bumblebee #Photography
A response to #Iscriblr’s Freedom of Expression challenge
Where I’ve come with my new hobby
It was never about capturing a moment
blink at the wrong time – it was gone
hands gripped around the camera
like my life depended on it
but then with the picture
of a simple silver garden decoration
I saw something looking back at me
in a moment of wonder
I was taking a picture of something
and taking a picture of myself at the same time…

#birds
Scattered food lying on the tarmac, brings them here
Preening themselves in the fallen
Aqua that you and I call rain
Reactions to the feast, vary from
Roars of delight to sunflower seeds to
Overall disappointment …. small grains again ?
When the back door opens and the treasures
Spread across the ground, far and wide
