Red Canoe Enters
The bay of the Canal side
ready for paddles
Red Canoe Enters
Cutting through watery depths
Creating White Waves
Red Canoe Enters
Gliding past the floating buoys

#CYW #Melon
Maybe its me – but I always
expected the colour of a melon would be darker than the one
like you find in your box of crayons – its innards more red than pink
of course, buy a honeydew it’s as yellow as the sun
nice sliced up – they’re sweet regardless of which one you choose
#CYW #Maroon
Salford, 9th June 2020
Some say it’s the colour of conkers
after they’ve fallen out of shell
Some say it’s the colour of leather
it’s difficult to tell….
For while its not brown, its most definately not red
its more colour of the cows in the field that are fed
or their hides on the soles of the shoes in the street
covering ladies or gentlemen’s feet
Or perhaps the jacket, that strolls in to town
some shades of this colour – don’t suit a ball gown
the answer you see – to this definite riddle
the maroon colour – is somewhere in the middle

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
Maybe its the deep red colour
as you stare at its grain that makes your
heart fall for the piece
of furniture its made from
great pieces of indian redwood
are carefully crafted into
naturally flowing tables and chairs
year upon year – as old is replaced by new in the forest

Red Mist descending
as the bull has the red rag rustled in front of it
got to admit – its a bit foolhardy
engaging the switch that early
#CYW #Jazzberryjam
Jump and jive
as the berries do their thing
zipping around
zestily with the sugar
becoming an exceptional spread
expect to find in jam butties up and down the land
revelling in the same place as the
raspberries and strawberries – tween two pieces of bread
yipping and zipping a taste around as you eat
#CYW #HotMagenta
Its not what you’d call a subtle colour
and it couldn’t be called pink or purple
a fiery marriage where red meets blue
but mother nature seems to like
using their off spring to bring a bit
of eye catching colour to the garden
look around you’ll see it every where else too
in signs, on walls and in windows
the future’s bright – the future’s …. Magenta

pulped and rolled out wood chip
a marvellous media to receive the
pens contents
even if the colour is
red , blue, yellow or green
