Bringing an aire of nature to the painters palette
Red mixes with yellow and that colour goes darker as
Orange meets black and blue
Wild Animals have this colour in their fur , feathers and quills
Notably the geese who fly across town
Hope you liked this short acrostic for #CYW – Here’s another link to a poem with a brown theme – https://inkdrops.blog/2019/09/08/chocolate-4

Salford (via Rochdale and Oldham), 17th August 2019
a tale of a rambler , by inky for the writephoto challenge
He went a walk with an empty backpack and staff
off to get a loaf of bread
many hadn’t heard from him for days, some
even thought him dead
For his boot prints went on and on
for what others saw as miles
past footpath and valley , hill and dale
and spot of nature where he’d stay a while
enjoying the fine weather
the silence and peace
and wildlife around him
it was a release
Drawing a scene half way up a hill
taking in sunshine and cup o’ tea till
time came to face his fate
coming back home far too late
A Striped Tale…..or is that a Tail ?
What’s Black and white and Red all over ? a sunburnt Zebra! (sic)
When ever I think about an animal with Stripes, I always think about two particular animals….the tiger and the zebra
The tiger is Orange and Black (or is that black and orange ?) whilst the Zebra is Black and White (or is that white and black?). Both hide in the Undergrowth for protection using this camouflage
Now while I’ve only ever seen these two animals at the Zoo, there is a stripey animal who is quite happy to be living around you and I. I am referring to your tabby variety of pussy cat
Just remember to treat it right – or its ancestral character will come right out!
Salford 11th January 2019
The street looks empty
as the curtains opened
to another day
But up in the tree
opposite the house, someone
feathered is watching
Keeping an eye out
for the dropping of breadcrumbs
In a neighbours backyard
#sounds #acrostic
Sunday evening, is a whole lot quieter than Sunday morning
Outside, the rumble of traffic is down to a minimum
Unless it’s a plane or a train you want to catch
Navigating those roads should be a breeze
Double glazing muffles any noises, and the wildlife are
Sleeping in their beds soundly, keeping warm

A response to the One word photo challenge : Seal

Manchester, 8th May 2018
For some its a time, to say
Look at me
As the peacocks and peahens , strut their stuff
Until the departure of jack frost, they were quite – “Reserved”
Now they fluff their feathers, on the Northern shore
Till their preening catches a prospective mates eye
Salford, 3rd February 2018
Detritus floating en-masse down the ship canal
Readily aided by the boats and the water
Is floating aimlessly towards the basin gates
Full stop only happening upon hitting the booms where each stick gangs
Together forming a pretty pattern on the
Waters surface
Overjoyed geese, plunder the booty, piling
One large stick on top of another till a safe place for eggs has been built, whilst
Downstream, a boat with a foriegn name (and crane) is coming to pick up the leftovers

Served up from the Scottish waters
A fish that goes well in any pastry, pate or salad
Line caught or farmed, – they say the best
Meaty fish is that caught wild
Of course, its best served up
Notably, fresh – and served up pink, cooked with butter, herbs and lemon
#coloryourworld #cyw #shade #fern #nature
Found in the darker parts of a garden
each little green leaf, enjoys the shade
reciprocating the deed for wildlife and toadstools alike
nature’s protection from a spring shower.
