Every mechanic knows – it’s
Not the wheels , but the engine that
Get’s a driver from A to B
It’s truly – the heart of any transport
Naval, bus, car or motor bike
Exception – if you’re reliant on foot or pedal power

Another tail from inky
I think of it like a branch of a tree
follow it back long enough and you’ll find
the grocers , the bakers, the butchers
schools and doctors
maybe a theatre or gallery
and houses tall and small
and a much larger branch
pointing off to another part of town
perhaps even – another town
if you have a set of wheels
#DiscoverWP #Song
Saturday afternoon – and beyond the double glazing
On tune, northern birds are belting out one hell of a tune
Note – this isn’t the female humans here – but the
Graceful sounds of our feathered friends singing above.

#cyw #indigo
It’s a colour known for its position on the rainbow
nestled between its brother , blue and its sister, violet
definately making a statement on the home furnishings front
in fabrics, curtains, sofas and carpets
garments too – brought to life by this deep dark purply blue
only – don’t call it blue – its got its own character

They’re quite a team – the Sun and the Moon
On the whole they’re quite phenomenal
Giving the people that live on Mother earth, summat to look at
Each day they work either side of this blue jewel
The Sun giving light to one half while the Moon shines on the other
Helping fishermen land their catches, and Night workers to find their way home
Earth helping both by turning around
Rotating to catch the light
Salford (Via Llandudno) , 31st March 2020
A tale of Goats in the welsh town of Llandudno, written by inky,
inspired by an ITV News article :
The Goats are taking over
and they’re heading into town
they’re happy to play, no-one to chase them away
for their shepherd’s gone to ground
The cars have abandoned the tarmac
so they’re running down the road
chomping on box wood and flowers
in their new abode
The goats are taking over
whilst the people are indoors
they’re coming down from the mountains
the pastures and the moors
The humans are all in their houses
so the goats have left hills for their tea
munching on grasses and heather around
as happy as can be on the ground

Statesmen like ? hardly
sat by his plinth, like
someone had confiscated his toy basket
all they wanted, was the facts
all they got was bluster to the max
as the virus spreaded, and reacts
reports he wasn’t listening to
positions he stuck himself like glue
his collegues wandering what to do ?
Till one day he took to bed,
and had to listen to what the doctors said,
deputy took charge, and up to bed, he fled.

I remember when i was little
you could get a whole load of jelly beans
for a single silver coin
but as i got bigger
while the rainbows remained the same
that silver coin lost its sheen
as the silver coin you handed over
got you half the bag you got a year before
#fowc #Confession
Cleansing of
Oral admissions
Noted by the angels
For the day of judgement
Expressions of remorse
Said in private but always
Said honestly and in receipt of penance
In an attempt to show an element
Of contrition for the time we
Next meet our maker
#writephoto #wistful
She returned to the moor
every hill a passing memory
veils of tears ran down her face
each time she remembered the angry rant
now she had thrown the ring back at him
she was returning to her cottage – in pieces
