#Fowc #Creepy
Cold dark corners of the house can
Really send shivers up the spine
Especially at night
Ethereal spirits dance among the cobwebs
Passing as they do around the floors
Yet – you’ll only call out – spotting the web’s creator!

#FOWC #Inkdrop
By an act of gravity
launched from a fountain pen
over the white letter paper
the ink made its mark
Born out of a fault
launch of an identity
over time
that developed
Beginnings of a character
living on its on line home
out of nowhere
the footprints spread
#insects #spider #bugs #autumn #winter
When the deciduous trees decide to lose their leaves
six legged creatures try their best to find somewhere warm
scurrying quickly over gravel and soil
and leaving a trail over branches that coil
sometimes hanging around the garden shed
or inside a cupboard that’s darkened instead

22nd June 2018
an acrostic from inkdrop
from a prompt from the imaginarium
sometimes I wonder why they’re there
popping up from out of the garden and setting up in the kitchen
i get the idea, these six legged fellows don’t like the cold…
desperate, they’ll weave their webs in hidden spaces, like
every cubby hole or stair cupboard
Resident, until cleared out with a head of a brush
Eccles to Manchester, 5th September 2017
Manchester – here is a public announcement
Even the local birds
Think their dinner is taking a liberty , as it
Rides along the tracks without a pass, for now
On system lines from Salford to Ashton, and Bury to Altrincham
Like old Mancunian cotton weavers, they leave
Interesting little webs like they’re decorating the tram
Note the way though – they stay still on their threads when spotted
Kings of the carriage, till the arrival of a cleaner.
Continually updating your personal web
Over days, weeks and
Nights to please your public is a
Tireless pursuit – albeit an endless one
In time , you master the art of providing
New material for your readers delight…but
Until you decide to pull the plug, the
Eternal quest for new material carries on

(Spiders) Web
I took this picture in BASICs “Enchanted” Garden, with my new Bridge Camera. The Spider in question was obviously camera-shy, given it was there a few moments before I got my camera out of its bag. Nevertheless, s/he left me with a lovely web – weaved between the arms of the brackets of one of the planters.
A spider visited the house one day,
She wanted me to come out and play.
scampering round in the hall
and up and down the mirrors and walls.
So out of the door I did go
She scampered off fast, as I went slow
and heading for the nearest tree
looking for something for her tea
At first I thought, the fence she’d cleared
but then in an instant – she reappeared
hanging her threads from the nearest tree
it looked like fine embroidery.
And then on a branch, I watched her wait
for something to catch and put on her plate
a swarm of flies through the sky
and towards the middle of the web they did fly
So as I sat, enjoying a treat,
The spider sat central in her web to eat
eating a few bugs, without little haste
and wrapping the rest up so they wouldn’t go to waste!

Photography @ BASIC Ed2
With my new camera acquired the other day , I took it along to BASICs Camera class where we had a session of picture taking out in BASICs Garden – “The Enchanted Garden”
The Aim was to find some abstract art in and around the garden – whether it be in the plants, the trees, the flowers or even in the buildings that made up the garden
My favourite pic this session? The Path of Leaves!
Really enjoyed this session as I get to grips with my new camera.
No Session next week – but i’ll still be busy – as I look for five things to capture
Something Red, A Portrait, Water, A Reflection, and an Old Building
and as a bonus challenge – I’ve got to do a compilation of all five items
Something for Halloween – hope you all had an enjoyable night
Witches
enjoy the company of
big furry spiders, as very Few
escape the
beauty of the trap
weaved
enthusiastically
behind a curtain
White threads, Delicately Placed
Every Flies nightmare
Beckons.
With each wiry strand
Each spider awaits his or her
Breakfast
