Something told you it wasn’t going to be a
Terrific idea to venture onto the hills today, but
Of course you were out voted – as you and your pals
Rambled up the public footpath, seeking out paradise –
Maybe you could discuss what you found in that shelter – Atop the hill
#fowc #surmount #hill #challenge #health
It’s a hill i didn’t want to climb
notably rocky in some places
but with a little encouragement
and some would say
sheer bloodymindedness
I found myself in an ascent
ignoring the drop below
and heading for the summit
#Fowc #Repercussions
At the end of the chaos
you stood there, smiling
never considering what would happen
pushing the big oil drum
down the rocky, snow-covered hill
people below ran for cover
not from the oil drum making its way
but the increased snow heading in front of its path
Salford (via Cumbria), 14th March 2018
going uphill on the
rocky sharp surfaces of a cliff
arms stretched out, reaching for the nearest
safe hand hold, clinging on as you ascend to the
pinnacle….enjoy the view when you get there
A top of a
Small hill can feel like Mt everest to a small child
Conquering the challenge of
Elevating themselves so far, from
North South East and West – they can see all around them
Descending might take a bit longer – but first take in the view
Salford, 22nd May 2017
A tale of Northern Mills
From north to south
and from east to west
crafty threads combine
on warp and weft
Coming from the animal
from out on the hill
and carded and threaded
and spun till wheels still
Or straight from the plant
coming over the sea
and landed at dockside
with the coffee and tea
then dyed in the colour
and sent onto mill
where fabrics created
from the thread from the hill
Take it from me – its a big thing
Relying on the guys keeping anchor at the top of the rocky mountain
Until you dropped down over the basalt edge
Something bit at you – should I believe this lot
Till you realised – they’re holding the rope you’re tied to.
