clouds of something
intoxicating travel through
northern skies
broken up by the wind but
caught in transit
by those innocently
flying by

#Promptuarium
Where she’s heading – nobody knows
as she sits waiting for her connection
indications on the ticket give a rough idea
till you mention other ways out of the station
in a sprawling web of transport links
navigation could lead to Macclesfield or Scarborough
getting there – requires a train – it hasn’t arrived yet
#Promptuarium
Taking a look at the airport departure board
often a dilemma for the most seasoned traveller
unless of course you’re waiting for the right moment
rolling up for the open portal
in time to land at your destination
soft white sands and warm summer waters
taken in the blink of an eye
#Fowc #Rocket
A bit of a slow burner i think you would call it
The engines went into thrust, leaving clouds in its wake
On board little tiny robots – off to explore that far off planet
Cloud formations forming behind it
Rising up through the blue
for destination coloured orange
#Socs #Links
Like the loops of a chain keeping them together
Like the wires transmitting the news to your TV
Like the road that goes from A to B
Something keeps them together
Romans Rolling over Rural Scenes
Rocky paths for Stallions and Soldiers
Ripping through riverbanks
Miles of track traversing the country
Making its way from Manchester to Middlesex
Mighty juggernauts moving from north to south
Somethings keeps them together
Traversing over hill mountain and dale
To get to the office the shops or the coast
Taking the most direct route possible (sometimes via a tunnel)
Delays ?
Daily occurrence – as
Double time spent fixing holes or faults
Reactions to Roadworks
or leaves on the line ? – Revolutionary
Rolling up to your Destination by bus not train

Attention to detail
Is important when you are doing things
Scribbling down the wrong location
Can land you in a bucket of hot water
If you’re heading for Liverpool
But end up in Llandudno
#Socs #Choices
Choices you make, can form you later on down the line
How you make them is down to you
Of course, there are many paths to travel, to where you want to go
It’s a decision you have to make…..
Cold or Hot, Coast – Countryside – or City
Even eating, can give you pause for thought
Should you have golden syrup or chocolate sauce on your pancakes ?
#fowc #tangent
Taking road signs for granted
and following your navigation device – ignoring your own eyes is
notably, a recipe for disaster, as it
goes its own merry way and you
expect it to guide you to your
next destination – you think you’re headed to a sandy southern beach
the reality ? – you’re headed for rocky cliffs and pea shingle
#map #fowc
many a sailor or perhaps
a buccaneer has used one of these in
pursuit of treasure
many you will find,
as a guide for potential explorers
putting their feet across peak district peat bogs
most are a guide for weary travellers
ambling across the uk road network
perhaps they could have taken the train ?
#Octpowrimo #Lightness
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
