from inkdrop – poetry, places and events
The first post of 2021.
I
The hour past
The bells chimed
One year confined to the history books
One year to look forward to
II
Late Nights
Laced with wine, food, drinking and song
Leads to a long nap under the duvet
Lying in on the downward strait to twelth night
III
Promises made – Resolutions
in changing and interesting times
enjoying a feast at the first day of the year, while
some prepare, to head out for bargains
#CYW #MidnightBlue
Moonlight brings a spot of colour to nightime
it brings a touch of blue to a
dreamy scene…highlighting the
number of marshmallow clouds floating
in the sky around the moon
gravitating tween the moon and her reflection in the
half-light dispersed by the water of
the lake below

Salford, 31st December 2018
The final night of 2018
Draws in a brand new year
Called out from the east
And working it’s way round the globe
The fireworks and chimes
Bring in a new dawn
Fresh thinking , fresh plans
Across the lands, grow as the sun says hi
As the new wind blows, to the new year say hello
As we wave the old one goodbye
#coloryourworld #cyw #black #space
During the night
as the earth turns
the sky turns black
distant stars
appear as mere pin-pricks
in a velvet sky
whilst the other half is at work and play
the half cast in midnight
sleeps soundly away
Maybe its the colour of the night sky itself
Its only when the sun goes to bed – does it appear
Dozens , no thousands of stars peppering the dark blue
Night after Night, showing planets and constellations
Inky coloured skies, occasionally diffused by sodium lights below
Great gods from Aries to Orion , telling tales in the sky
Heavens Above! It’s a great sight to watch
The constellations moving in the night sky.
Many hear the call of the night
as a furry old cat, presses paws to the floor
travelling the neighbourhood for prey
as the moon comes out of clouds, shining bright
Night-time, the right time to hunt out for more
with mice on the hunt for a midnight feast
watch out, little mouse! and quickly make way
for fear you become supper for this furry tailed beast.
And Moonlight skips over dock and quay
passing over gardens and trees
creating a eerie midnight scene
where once the great ships had been
by the nightshift coming home
And as felines feast
Luna keeps watch
till the sound of the cockerel
and return of the sun
