In response to the prompt at Patricia’s place…here’s the link
It’s like you’re not there
Identification….difficult at best
If only you would engage in a conversation,
I’d be overjoyed to talk to you, but
It’s like you have vanished into thin air

Salford, 13th March
An acrostic on WiFi technology in response to fandangos one word challenge
Wireless….
It’s like your stereo, but it’s much more
Fun….particularly if you like gaming
It allows you to move around with your devices
World Wide Web
In the palm of your hands
For the time you need
Instant information
Wondering around
In the great outdoors, whilst
Following the goings on at home on
Instagram, Facebook, and twitter
Where would we be without this technology?
Internet and telephone
Fixed into the wall….dial up networks ?
It’s not fun at all…you’re waiting forever to connect
Salford, 10th March 2019
The wind was brewing up a storm
under the feet of the resident pigeon flock
swirling around and giving
some of our feathered chums – quite a hard time of it.
luckily the nearby building works gave some shelter
expect more tomorrow, as the winds brother comes up for a visit
Salford 3rd March
The engineers who design the roads
have really outdone themselves this time
in the middle of the road, the raindrops fall,
nestling in sunken tarmac pools – they look like a map of
great lakes….
Salford 1st March
Like a bullet
It flew down the street
Towards the other side of the dual carriageway and
The waterside
Local cats, couldn’t catch him
Even if they tried – he was too far up to reach
Before our feathered friend
Islands of Plenty – with seeds galore
Ready to be eaten by our feathered friend and his chums
Dropped on a patch of green
27th February 2019
As the sun dipped below the horizon
and changed shift with his pal the moon
something constant kept on moving
second hand moving the minutes
whilst the hour hand waited to move forward
and a marker sat like a sentry
ready to fire a fifteen gun salute
cats birds and dogs, creep outside slowly
wailing beyond the double glazed glass
and the cogs keep the hands moving
till the minute hand meets the marker
and hammer meets bell – time to get up.
An acrostic in response to Iscriblrs freedom of expression challenge
Could it be
Over time and days
Moments you would call ‘voluntary’, were
Much more that that, as
In time you invest … something more than money
The effort, the graft and all for
Mere thanks for filling in the role
Expected
Noted perhaps, at a particular point in
the organisations calendar

#Football
To readers the other side of the big pond – a poem about football or what you call soccer – Inky
While the greats are revered in Bronze
New idols are to be cheered on by the fans
At both ends of the East Lancashire Road
Fans follow every kick , head every ball
Cajoling the ball past the opposition
and bending the ball to safety
Who was it who said
“You never win anything with Kids” ?
The veteran of the Liverpool Side
should have seen it coming
for there’s young lads from Liverpool and Manchester
now tearing down the green grass

#Travel #Journey #Poetry #Decisions
You’ve travelled straight down this road
for what seems like an age
heading for a destination, unplanned
life seems so uncomplicated
following the signs in blue
and passing the trees in green
when all of a sudden – a yellow alert
a fork in the road
One way to the peaks , the other to Wales
Decision to be made
Blue John or Welsh Mountain Stone ?
Roast Dinner or Fish and Chips ?
