Bringing an aire of nature to the painters palette
Red mixes with yellow and that colour goes darker as
Orange meets black and blue
Wild Animals have this colour in their fur , feathers and quills
Notably the geese who fly across town
Hope you liked this short acrostic for #CYW – Here’s another link to a poem with a brown theme – https://inkdrops.blog/2019/09/08/chocolate-4
#Fowc #Tenacity
Somehow, it seemed like miles
Navigating through the overgrown greenery
Aim ? to reach that pile of mulching leaves
In and around the empty flowerpots
Lunch will be a fine one – when he gets there
A tale from the pen of inky – developed from a prompt at Unbolt.me – Direct link HERE
Some might say
When they see them – they’re the
Air’s journeymen….
Lowering and
Lifting themselves
On their journey over land and
Water

Salford (via Rochdale and Oldham), 17th August 2019
a tale of a rambler , by inky for the writephoto challenge
He went a walk with an empty backpack and staff
off to get a loaf of bread
many hadn’t heard from him for days, some
even thought him dead
For his boot prints went on and on
for what others saw as miles
past footpath and valley , hill and dale
and spot of nature where he’d stay a while
enjoying the fine weather
the silence and peace
and wildlife around him
it was a release
Drawing a scene half way up a hill
taking in sunshine and cup o’ tea till
time came to face his fate
coming back home far too late
#FOWC #Shadow
A response by inky to Fandango’s One word challenge
Sunshine’s monochrome friend
Heavens Universal to animal, bird, reptile and human
As the sun shines its beams – it appears on the floor
Disappearing when the clouds cover it up
Of course – they disappear
When the sun goes behind – reappearing on a bright moon
#Fowc #Nest #Nature
Above my head, by the window ledge
a family of birds is living on the edge
living in a nest in view of my eye
occasionally searching for food do they fly
Waking me up with their earliest call
transcending the windows and solid brick walls
flying to treetops through clouds in the air
and searching out berries without a care
Another scribble for the coloryourworld month by inky.

Birds follow the noise of these colourful flowers
Lightly swaying in the spring breeze
Under the cover of a spruce they’re spread
Enjoying the protection from the passing showers
Beautiful colours to please the eye
Encompassing the area around the tree roots
Launching into a dance routine – upon arrival of the Bees and Butterflies
Landing on the flowers to collect the nectar
#FOWC #Nature #Birds #Instinct
Inborn – that’s what they call it
Noted scientists use the word when they just dont know!
So why birds fly south for the winter –
They use the fall back position – this word
If they gave it a little thought
Creativity might be applied to the question
Till then – you’re left – pondering their answer
A post in response to the Tuesday Photo Challenge from Inky

What’s with the guitar Inky ?
I thought i’d start with the musical link – an electric guitar. Clapton, May, Deacon come to mind. It’s loud but in time is methodical, and lyrical – its also the nearest thing to an electrical instrument that doesn’t need a programmer….it does need an amplifier though
Much like the Rocks you find on your average beach….(eh?)
Add a chirp or two following the sound of the rocks and the sea – you have a three piece band 🙂
Reminiscent of something i read in Terry Pratchett’s Discworld Novel Soul Music
Music with Rocks in – Quite a ring to it too.
And all of this is Acoustic….no electric required.
Salford, 23rd March 2019
Modified from an instagram post i posted this morning,
When i wake up
What do i see, beyond the works of
Writing on my desk ?
Wide, are the curtains flung – from
West to east – bringing light to the painted
walls where i do most of my scribbling
Marshmallow pillows float
softly in Salford Skies as
flocks of feathered friends
return from their alfresco restaurant, to
five star accommodation – peering across towards my way
as they enjoy the view.
