another found poem by me via Spike Milligans Box 18
I’ve stopped looking for that diamond
that brightens up my day
the beauty of your eyes
still capture me in the evening light
as we pass each other by
and memories of walking through the daisy patch
still return – fresh in the mind

Salford, 20th December
She walked though the Christmas market
Still wearing the Christmas cracker ring
Some lad from her past gave her
Sentimentality ? Perhaps, but then
Something told her, one day they’d meet again
Solitude, the vehicle that drove her to
See her sweetheart under the town hall clock,
Stars meeting up when eye met eye
Manchester (via salford) 16th December 2018
The on line post it notes
Continued to drop in my in box
Reminiscences from a female acquaintance
I knew since I was small.
Meet you by the market
Where the gluhwein flows
And the big tree is lit up by the national grid
So, off to town goes Charlie Brown
To meet his gorgeous tinker-belle
Wrapped up like a bug
All nice and snug
Where under the lights
Of Christmas bright, we walk round the stalls
Decorating the halls
And after a repast and a drink
A kiss in the square where
We met up, there.
I
I wanna be that fellow
That dances with the redhead
In a Viennese waltz
At the end of the night
Ii
I want to guide her
Around the floor
Her dainty feet skipping
Off the glitter ball lights
Iii
Eyes on the prize
As lights skip on the floor
And Rose Red dances delightfully
With her Prince Charming
Iv
Captivated by her delicate poise
Our movement just floating … hardly a noise
And watching us both….a bit of a crowd
Though it’s only the music that seems a bit loud
V
Fireworks ? Magic as we travel around floor
The crowd they applaud and yell out for more
But as spotlight leaves us, something they’ll miss
In the dark of a second, a surreptitious kiss

From out of relative darkness
Comes brightness
Was it the moment of clarity
Brought about by the smile of Luna
Or that single moment
When you smiled, at the simple fact
I couldn’t live without you
For now I’m skipping and hopping
Out on the stars
Because of three simple words
Whispered softly in my ear

Do computers show any emotion ?
even now, there’s a silver grey laptop
in an urgent call across fibreoptics
to communicate with a rose red tower system – many miles away
yet, silver’s call – lost in translation
Time stands still for a while
a second before
i think i caught the eye
of the girl in the polka dot dress
so while everythings frozen in time
i casually make my way over the platform
and pop a message in her bag
will it work?
Time will only tell
Salford 10th May 2018
You were always the one in school
that caused a scene
causing young heads to turn
at your juvenile antics
Wearing the Uniform
the way you wanted
raising an eye
of the deputy head
They called you “Cool”
and your pals all circled
as school rules fell
and school skirts rose
The defiant red haired streak
got you noticed
by the more butch kids
in the school playground
But at the end of the day
the lad that you wanted
never looked back
leaving you – disappointed
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
