bursting colour out into the night sky
revellers watching the sight as the bells chime
it’s almost time for old father time to switch with his younger brother
launching a whole new year
light show of exploding sparkle
it’s like someone’s brightened up the darkness
and people are partying under it as the new year arrives
note the whooshing of the rockets and
the sound of the crowd as they travel towards the moon

Some say its the colour of the sun,
under the summer sunshade as it
nips down toward the horizon – heading to a
great mass of sand on the other side of the earth –
longing to see it again – the sunworshippers
often seen watching dipping down past the waterline
where it gives a few last rays of light before the moon arrives
Dreamy, light and fluffy
enjoyed by young and old alike
luscious strawberries held in a moment
it’ll be wolfed down by all
captured in the glass as it is
it’s not any old mousse – and
of course – those at the table will ask “Any more?”
usually, its chef’s privilage to go at the mixing bowl – but
someone will be re-using it to make seconds – or sharing….
Another Graphic Poem from the desk of inky

Perhaps the imps were out last night
up where the slate rocks lie
reactions to the sun falling on the hills
people are pleased with what they see on the eye
lilacs , lavenders and amethyst shades – all those and much more
everyone visiting loves the scene – so off they do explore

Outside in the darkness
the spirits dance under the LED Nights
that cast their lights over the tarmac road
shadowy forms skip and hop over kerb and walk
while the cats on the doorstep look on
as the night sky twinkles with the far off light
and constellations watch the night time boogie
Sole observer watching by the shore, as
hopping and skipping towards the beach
in a race to get to him
many of Neptune’s and Ra’s children
move hop skip and jump creating colourful patterns
each one hoping they’ll get there first
racing bring smiles to all who see it

Should any foolhardy person want to go treasure hunting
it’s not the treasure horde of a
long lost pirate down in that water
view you see is merely Ra peering at himself in a mirror
even if you went down into the depths
reflections would evaporate….and you would only be saying Hi to fish.
#Writephoto #Daybreak
Darkness disappeared from view
As the moon and sun changed places
Yawning – Luna told Ra she’d see him at noon
But now, she was off to bed
Ra smiled, as he peeked above the horizon
Everyone seeing his glow raised a smile
Apart from those who had been running under his sisters light – now
Kipping in their beds in the nearby trees
