#FOWC
It’s the ability
to remember
names and faces and dates
times and events
from a long time away
so memories aren’t lost
of moments from a time
where the best time you had
was splashing your feet in the sea

Time travel
Beach, Growing up, Memories, Photography#Promptuarium #Photo Album
The Sands of time seem to pass
so slowly when you’re young
the cogs in the clock
seem like they don’t even move
And yet, sat with your nephews
on the big comfy sofa
you watch time go back
almost in an instant
Moments of fun
spent as a child
creating lines of sandcastles
on a northern beach
Decorations of seashells
and seaweed – covering the scene
as you and your pals
from down the street – enjoy an icecream
And faces gone – but not forgotten
look as fresh as the day the camera captured
the day little feet took a cautious dip
into northern waters

Things in 3
A shelf with a host of miniature objects. At the Front – Three Snowglobes
The First – a Winnie the Pooh Snowscene….
The Second – a Windmill Snowglobe from the Island Rhodes
The Third – a Snowglobe from the Sea Life Centre, Manchester
It didn’t matter if it didn’t snow this Christmas – these provided the snow to order!
Ascending II
Greece, Holidays, PoetryManchester (Via Rhodes) , 5th November 2018
As the fire took hold of the wood
I watched magical trails rise high in the air
Releasing colourful patterns in the sky
Rhodes ancient buildings painted
Over by Beautiful light
Created by Ignition – rising over walls and
Keep of the old city , bringing smiles to
Excited children and adults alike
Taking vacations on the island
Memories of a glass bottomed boat
PoetryRhodes, 18th October 2018
Watched with intent
As Mediterranean blue
Mixed with Aegean aqua
Travelling over waves
As crabs met tentacles
Admiring the land lubbers
Shellfish communicate with conch
The shows about to start
As hermit crabs scuttle towards the bigger fish
In an instant they appear
Waving a fin or a tentacle
In the greenest of blues
Catch of the day
Passes along the hull
To say hello and goodbye
Sunny days
PoetryRhodes, via Manchester 17th October
#octpowrimo #holidays #greece
Zoomed off down the Aegean
To grab the last rays of European sun
Azure blue seas and light blue skies
My case so excited
It went for a wonder
On the carousel for all of fifteen minutes
Whilst bear has a new thinking spot
With full view of some wonderful scenery
Summers Hello
Poetry, Seasons, Summer#Promptuarium #Earlymorning #Summer
An early morning acrostic by inky
Summers Mornings
Unusually found the Son up before
Mum and dad
Maybe its because he
Expected the smiling sun to
Reach beyond the curtains and say hello
It’s your choice!
Holidays, Life, Outdoor Pursuits, PoetryLife is a long branch of events and choices
some shy away from making decisions
whilst others grab the bull by the horns
climbing the rockface
or in some cases – jumping off it
So – when it comes down to it
the decisions you make are yours
will you dip your toes in the shark infested sea
or play russian roulette with crusty crustaceans on the beach ?
all those decisions – are down to you
Big Wide World
Acrostic, Childhood, Flowers, Poetry, SeasideSalford 4th April 2018
The world is immense – to most people
Over the water there’s places you’ve never been to
During your lifetime – you’ll experience many a new thing
Daffodils won’t be the only flower you chomp on as you
Let your little toes explore the water (with mum and dad’s help)
Enjoying the nice warm sand in a place thats new whilst
Relaxing under a colourful umbrella.
Enjoying the Christmas Lights
Christmas, Holidays, Outdoor Pursuits, PoetrySalford 23rd December 2017
Christmas festivities have been going on a pace this week, and as a typical Salfordian Male – i made the error of letting it wash all over me till This week
Strange as it may seem though – i’ve covered everybody’s christmas presents (even dad’s)
The Nephew’s will be getting their Merlin Passes renewed – the largest purchase – and i’ll leave that till after boxing day
Mum and Little Blister have their chrimbo pressies sorted as have Dad and B-I-L but i’m not bringing up what i’ve bought them less they read this blog.
Will no doubt be meeting up with Uncles and Aunties over christmas – and purchases will be made post boxing day and delivered in the run up to new year
Happy Christmas everyone…..If it seems i’ve gone ‘off grid’ for the next few days – its because i have….this bear will be hibernating….love christmas….cant stand the cold!
