Making the most of that precious
opportunity, when in the field
out of the last rays of sun, just before
nightfall – Luna makes an appearance
down below her – the children skip and jig
and above them – feathered friends flap excited as
night begins to fall
children will be called in as shades of red turn dark blue, so
enjoy the time in the long grass, they will
Its what she does
noting down the events of the day
scribbling it down in her journal
penning down memories
in ink, of her time by the sands
revelling at the sights of birds and butterflies
as she enjoyed an impromptu snack by the sea
the birds passing by, as snacks are munched
in the distance – the
odd boat passes by, you never know – the
nautical craft might get a mention
#christmas #girl #gardening #holly
Here’s a girl you see every christmas tide
often seen picking the prickly evergreen
like her life depended on it
later she’ll be putting it carefully around the
yearly table decorations – making the candles look pretty
#CYW #Aquamarine
They say its the true colour of water
but by the time you’ve had your cordial added
the fruit has fizzled it away
It sets of a summer holiday perfectly
as the sun reflects its blue
and you wan’t to dip your toes
on perfect days, the sky mirrors the sea
and its like the sea begins where the sky ends
wonderful to look at from a deckchair
of course, the jeweller likes this colour
its the birthstone thats usually surrounded by diamonds
so its no wonder he likes it
or the colour of the eyes of the young lady
whos entered his shop
to purchase a ring with this precious stone

Sat on the jetty
As Sun switches with Moon
Waiting for the boat
Moonlight Rendezvous
With Boy of her hearts desire
and tasty picnic
Face hidden by mask
Girl unknown to the new boy
passed in the corridor
#CYW #RedViolet
Sat on the park bench
In an effort to enjoy his sandwiches, Charlie brown
Reacts with a smile – to the girl who caught his
Eye….the girl with the red hair
Now – tomorrow – he might go over and talk to her

The Christmas tree lights twinkled
as the girl stared under the tree
bright shiny gifts propped around the base
like supporting stones
expectations fulfilled ? perhaps – but
there was always something that
santa didn’t deliver – leaving an air of disappointment
Manchester, 26th April 2020
Sat in the tranquil scene
of the gardens off
Piccadilly
really – it hadn’t registered before
engaging in conversation in
the college refectory
the year we first met – like
yesterday
Salford , 2nd April 2020
Someone is hovering over Salford’s bins
every day they’ve been seen – on spying missions
and some say – they’re worse than the pigeons
gracefully flying through the skies
until the bins on the waterside are
looking full – likelihood is – they’ll chance their
luck – with a lass coming home from the chippy

She walked around the room
picking up her things
the night had been great
but it was time for serious work
breakfast could wait
as she straightened her skirt
and watched as you woke
and all you could ask
as you shared a smile
“Is that my shirt?”
