The Inkwell#fowc #cabin
14th March 2020
Carefully crafted, from trees that now surround it
a place to get away from the strains of modern life
blessed with a wonderful view of the lakes and streams
in sight of nearby provisions, a short ride away
not forgetting some wonderful animals
#fowc #carriage
Sat by the platform
it waits for the sign as
gentlemen and ladies alike
now make their way to their furnished cabins
a wonderful journey to places wonderful
lakes mountains and streams – but they have to wait for the flag

Salford, 29th October 2019
As summer draws to a close
and green leaves turn to red
the leaves of the less evergreen
aided by wind rain and streams
float off in a dream, light as a feather
to their final resting spot
where they leave a mark of colour
on the paths around them

Salford 16th June 2018
Inclement is how the weathermen would have put it
the weather itself couldn’t make its mind up
the sun was out – the birds were tweeting – and everyone was content
that was of course till two sets of clouds collided into one another
and slowly, but surely, small waterdrops began to fall from the sky
pitter pattering into puddles – easily covered by peoples umbrellas
until the raindrops sped up – and turned into stairrods
filling up birdbaths and heading for waterways
the quickest way they could
ladies and gents diving for cover under the nearest shelter
till quick as it arrived – the stairrods departed
and cotton-wool clouds replaced the grey ones
while birds enjoyed the relax
in a pool provided by the cloud
Flowing waters are an
Ideal place for a
Salmon, or Trout to call
Home sweet home
Forever they’ve resided
In the same spot
So they can raise their young
Happily
Flowing waters
in synchronicity with
silvery sea creatures they
Have called Home
In response to Daily Post Challenge Water
When you think about it
All of us mammals need it in one way or the other
Taken from its source – fresh clean water,
Earth’s own staff of life – found in
Rivers, Streams and Lakes
