The Inkwell#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

Swifter than their feathered brethren – they
welcome the signs of a changing breeze
it means they’ll be off with their cousins the swallows
for some warm air , seeds and sunshine, whilst
taking occasional naps under leafy sunshades
Some might say they float in the air
when these birds have their wings stretched out
imminent signs of departure – remote
for they’ll need to fill their bellies
to have the energy to fly towards the warm sun
When you think of the humble raindrop,
Altering its shape by gravity
Taking the form of a clear wall, or corona in the stream
Each little drop, falls, chasing the others
Round drops and Rainbows cascade,
Falling into a pool down below.
Always constantly moving
Lovingly powered by the
Lakes and streams and clouds from above.

Returning to the garden after a brief sojourn
our friend you find on christmas cards, was found resting on the fence
bringing a spot of additional colour to the trees in the garden
its possible, he was interested in the wildflower seeds
near the little spruce trees – but he raised a smile as he hopped about
No rumble of traffic
No noise in the street
Not many people
Navigating the street
But somewhere in th’ treetops
swaying in the air
families of birds are
chatting away there
Singing ’bout blue skies
and the weather that’s greet
while on mobile’s behind the glass
the humans all tweet

Swiftly flying through the blue
a whole host of feathered friends
lift their wings and soar through the air
for while the humans stay indoors
only the odd cat need be looked out for as they
roll about and enjoy the summer air
dancing around the tree tops and saying hello through the windows

#weather #nature #winds #trees
Something’s afoot,
the barometer has moved with a bounce
it’s not a Winds day but it
feels like it and the
foliage on the trees – is dancing
Westerly winds
in a rush to navigate their way to
northern pennine hills
determined trees – doing their best to
stay upright from the invisible charge

Created as a path across the water
a stretch of sand , gravel or road
usually gets wet when the tide comes in or
sea or river levels rise
especially after really bad storms
when that happens – its advisable to take
another route – or else
you’ll do more than get your feet wet!

#stillness #writeclub
Calmness lives across the bay
No golden trams rumbling past
No ripples or young fish at play
No parties of football fans starting to mass
Somewhere beyond the water deep
The King of the Salmon is down in his keep
But with no other fisherman making them leap
He’s resting among greenery – fast asleep
The trees by the water – are eerily still
No wind to speak of – so they aren’t bending at will
The wildlife sit in the branches of trees
As the mercury rises by a couple of degrees
And strange as it is – the birds make no noise
Sat on their metal perch – with perfect poise
Watching the bubbles of the fish in the Deep
Watching the fish in their home – fast asleep
#Writephoto #Cascade
From out of the clouds they come
a torrent of aqueous creatures
lunging towards the destination they
long to be at, following each other
in a race to be the first in the
navy blue waters
going over the edge
