I
A Hub of ideas
technology, reading, and leisure
pondering over
which of them will be read or listened to
First
II
Bag, ready to travel
North south east or west
journeying with essential items
things that cannot be left behind
at home
III
Tallest of the conifers
protecting the smaller plants
from the rain wind and snow
now covered
in snowflakes

Cold weather isn’t nice to be out in, so
on winter days, you’ll find me wrapped up with a
mug of warm hot chocolate in my paws and
furry slippers on my feet – while
outside its snowing and blowing a gale – i’m
reading a book inside, looking out of the window now and then
toasty and warm, away from the cold

He’s Smiling Again
enjoying a break from regular learning
reading the weekly funnies
suitable for all kinds of kid
and drawn by masters of their art
and learning the jokes in the middle
he’ll be entertaining his friends
out on the field
around playtime

Really, there’s always one place in
Every library that you can get all the answers
From atlases to chronicles to news articles
Every bit of info is there – which is why the
Revered keepers of these books keep them from leaving the library
Even keeping them in their own section
Now, the good news is – you can access them
Choice reading handy for homework – just don’t
Expect to walk home with them – they’re staying in the library
Education has produced a vast population
They spend twelve months
teaching children to walk and then talk
and the next twelve years
teaching them to sit down and shut up
when all you have to do
is teach them all to read
its a source of amusement and fun
to happy little minds

what makes me pick up a book
if this reads like a bit of a list, apologies
funny tales, interesting characters, a bit of a thread
tales I can return to….the jokes might be a bit old, but I can still get a laugh at them
evidence ? Terry pratchetts troll sergeant…detritus,
<detritus> troll brains don’t work right in klatch….it’s the heat…if I went to klatch…I’d be really stoopid
<Vimes> detritus…
<detritus> yes sir ?
<Vimes> never go to klatch

It’d be true to say – I like reading.
I go for books with a bit of character in them, Goscinny and Uderzos Asterix books were a favourite of mine as a kid – and I’ve now got my hands on six anniversary editions
My favourite author is Terry Pratchett, he created some brilliant characters. And I’m happy to say I had the pleasure of meeting the man himself at a Waterstones bookstore in Manchester, before his untimely death. One day i’ll have the nerve to pick up and read his final epic – the shepherds crown – but till then I’ll satisfy my discworld fever, by reading one of this lot (and the smaller paperbacks)
and when i’m bored with that (NEVER! sic) youll find me skimming through my comedy collection – The Goons, Monty Python, Morecambe and wise and Scott adams
Ideas dropped on a page
notes dropped in a particular order
keeping the reader of the piece engaged
like clues for the detective resident in your mind
interacting – but not giving you the whole scenario
next guesses are down to you – It’s
going to be a scintillating read, as you go through the twists and turns
A few thoughts by inky on todays daily prompt
Sat in a room, lined with literary works
The lad peers through his assessment
Understandably, he might not produce the works of Keats this evening, but with
Dutiful observance, and conscientious research – he might just do well at his

Today i’ve had my hands in the soapsuds helping out at BASICs Cafe, Food for thought.
I’ve also been assisting in helping to run a poetry workshop in the conservatory.
we discussed what makes a poem and the different kinds of poem you could write
covering everything from Rhymes to Acrostics, Haikus to San-sans
