The Inkwell#Octpowrimo #Lightness
Salford, 29th October 2019
As summer draws to a close
and green leaves turn to red
the leaves of the less evergreen
aided by wind rain and streams
float off in a dream, light as a feather
to their final resting spot
where they leave a mark of colour
on the paths around them
In response to Thursday Photo Prompt
The woodland’s changing colour
from lush juicy greens to rustic reds
and painting a picture with a message
on the woodland paths
with each colourful crunch – “Winter’s coming”
When you entered the room
Instantly, you turned the boys heads
Like Desdemona had arrived
Dynamic
Heaven’s angel mixed with Hell’s fury
Only time would decide what happened next
Meeting up with old friends
By the banks of the waterside
Reality – you would be back at your post come morning
Expectations – out of the window.

On bright summer days in spain or Greece, you’ll find these
Ripening nicely on a coastal tree somewhere
As the fruit gets ready to drop – its colour goes
Navigating from Green to Orange…a sign the fruit is
Getting ready for eating
Each nice eaten on their own , with ice cream, or perhaps
Some sugar
Tap, and Unwrap
That’s how it goes
and a scent of orange
wafts up my nose
Scent – then a taste
of orange from oil
captured in chocolate segments
held in the foil
Dark light and White
Mixes of chocolate and zest
Melt in the mouth zing
A taste that’s the best
Various colours come together
In union to
Bring a smile to peoples faces
Rainbows of bright
And brilliant shades come together
Note how the primaries of red, blue and yellow merge and
Transform into the secondaries of Orange, Green and Purple

A Food acrostic – not to be confused with the game you throw a ball at 🙂
Sealed up in the big plastic bag
Kept in your travel case
Is a multitude of flavour – A rainbow of taste
Tastebuds tingle, at the very
Thought of flavours
Like Lemon, strawberry, Lime, Orange and Blackcurrant
Each little sweet, exploding with flavour
Sensational

He swam from tropical waters
and landed in our seas
rescued by a trawler
from being a seagulls tea
The boatmen stored him carefully
as they made their way to the dock
a wildlife officer would come on board
at the entrance to the lock
Far too risky to put back in the waters
so they took him to a kind of zoo
“The Sea Life Centre” near Old Trafford
Travelling down the M62
And the keepers they took care of him
and made sure he was watered and fed
as he found a spot in the waters
and headed off to bed
Central to most trees fruit
Oranges pears apples or bananas
real safe centres … some soft some hard. Most
Edible, but the centre and their pips are quite woody
