The Inkwell
Sole observer watching by the shore, as
hopping and skipping towards the beach
in a race to get to him
many of Neptune’s and Ra’s children
move hop skip and jump creating colourful patterns
each one hoping they’ll get there first
racing bring smiles to all who see it
#CYW #MidnightBlue
Moonlight brings a spot of colour to nightime
it brings a touch of blue to a
dreamy scene…highlighting the
number of marshmallow clouds floating
in the sky around the moon
gravitating tween the moon and her reflection in the
half-light dispersed by the water of
the lake below
Greeting me beyond the curtains
long bright line of sky
of course, the sun isn’t full in the sky yet
when it is look forward to seeing the blue

The moon is a bright shiny Ten Pence piece
The sky is a furry dark blanket
The stars are little sequins reflecting on that blanket
The sea is a vast mirror, reflecting whats above
The Moon is a beacon for space travelling mice
The sky is the map they use to travel about
The stars are the destinations on that map
The sea the place they hide their spaceship
The moon lights up the sky at night
The sky keeps a kite up in flight
The stars play with the new thing in the sky
The sea watches on, and moves on by

Cloudy skies today ? hardly
light from the sun falls down like raindrops
even the sky is a wonderful shade of blue
a warm and bright day
ready for a picnic ? we’re headed for the park

Poem or Prose in 28 Words – Okay!!!!
Polar bears are partying
under nights light show
the snow is twinkling
with various different colours
moving about on ice
like the mirrorball chasing
the disco floor beams

They’d spent days planning this
sourcing the location
and the straw to build
their balefire
The structure they said
would have to be sound
for the safety of little uns
watching around
so they stacked up the straw
and waited for dawn
before setting alight
the straw and the thorn
And whilst straw burned away
things glowed in the air
as rockets and whistlers
lit up the fair
#Fowc #Horizon #HorizonII
Half way tween the earth and the sky
On which the sun exchanges places with the moon
Reality is although you can see it
In your eye line – you’ll find it impossible to reach
Zero degrees – and its all so far away
On the occasion you’ve reached your destination –
Next thing you see – is that place you want to be

Manchester, 16th October 2019
I was in Manchester yesterday, on the hunt for a new pair of spectacles.
Walking through Piccadilly gardens, I noticed something to bring a smile to the grimmest of people….They’ve turned the water back on the fountains!!!!
Flying high into the northern skies
Orchestrated jets of water…
Unprepared pedestrians to the Gardens
Now get wet as they cross
Though, the youngsters seem to enjoy
Ambling through the watery pavements, tiptoing
inbetween the jets of water
navigating towards the skies of the city centre as
spectrums of coloured lights pass through them

#Weather #Seasons #Summer #Acrostic
Summer sees me ignore the cirrus and and stratus
Taking in the rays peering through summers marshmallows
Reality is – something’s been smiling floating in the air
A smiling cloud, happy in the blue
Tears ? not today…and when Ra gets a little bit to fierce
A fluffy cloud and his chums are there to provide a bit of cover
