Relaxation is what the weekend is for
everyone should take their foot of the gas
Saturdays and Sundays are meant to put your feet up
those that don’t – get two days off some place else in the week

Getting to the top
of your personal mountain
isn’t the achievement
next thing is
getting the balance to stay there
New targets in sight
often come from
winning the original battle
however, despite how
easy you might see it
reality is – having reached the top
expect a challenge on your spot
#fowc #course
Follow the direction
of your career map
like the waterway its named after
loads of bends and turns you’ll have to negotiate
of course – your tutors call em “Modules”
when you’ve completed it
its possible you could work in a firm or perhaps
next – college or university
greatness awaits.
a piece by b.f.kirkham
It started with a post-it note
a simple square post-it note
coloured bright blue
so the recipient could read it
the sender popped it on the corner of the screen
so the recipient could read it
A second blue post it note
was placed alongside it
a little darker in tone
maybe so the recipient would read it
the second sender thought – making it darker
might make the recipient read it first
Day followed hour – and the post it notes spread
covering the screen like a papernote bed
behind the bed the monitor did go
and its fans moved the post it notes – to and fro
with the lights from the monitor – it looked like a wave
and soon that is how the post-its behaved
Recipient returned to the monitor screen
the rainbow of messages – he wasn’t too keen
but as he moved to see a chink of light
careful as he was – and try as he might
the post-its cascaded in a wave on his spot
over his keyboard like a colourful blot
So for two days straight, he worked night and day
answering the post-it messages, no time to play
making the calls that he should have done first
and answering queries with his best not his worst
as the colours made way, and enquiries disappeared
his pathway to his keyboard, was at last cleared

Lazy Squirrel
#Promptuarium
I’d never considered
this particular rodent
at all lazy
That’s till i saw
two particular greys
managing their stores
for while the hard worker
climbed the trees for hazelnuts
the lazy one simply took one from the bottom of his pals pile
Could you call him lazy?
or extremely clever
grabbing the spoils for half the effort
#Napowrimo #day16 #dentist #filling
a Rendezvous with
the local dentistry led
to some major works
Scrape clean and Polish
the very least of my woes
One filling out – one in
Something delivered
to ease any sort of pain
they call Novacaine
Screeching excavation
filled in with minty cement
hardened with bright light
Old Pearly Gnashers
Shiny Whiter and gleaming
filling feeling – like a dream
Moral for Today
cut down on the sweet fillings
ham instead of jam
#thought #definition
Alternate definition : where writing implements sleep
crafted from the finest tree
a spot where writing implements
relax before pursuing their art
engaging colour shape and form on paper or canvas
fulfilling the artists ideas and concepts
until the task is done, only then will they
lie down and take a nap

Throwing the dice
I
They say that cats are lucky
They say they’ll always thrive
They say they’re just like humans
with character and drive
one thing they don’t tell you
you’re happy to be alive
II
Playing cards with the reaper
as if you have the time
listening to the clock hand
or even the bells chime
wasting your life in a worry
should be considered a crime
III
Getting out when you can get about
Watching the dice as they land
Trying to avoid disappointment
if results are not what you planned
filling a space and enjoying it
and appreciated ? Grand!

Invisible
#Invisible #life
It’s not easy being invisible….
at first i thought it would be fun
playing tricks in the playground
on each and everyone
Hiding away from the teachers gaze
while creating work that would amaze
drawing cartoons on the board in chalk
and puzzling teachers as out of class i’d walk
Occasionally the dinner staff would see me there
and fellow classmates would wonder where
i’d appeared like a rabbit – out of a hat
i said i was in the labs – and that was that
But the one girl who really caught my eye
smiled at me as i was eating my pie –
for she could see my visage coming down the stairs
and blew me a kiss – as i wasn’t aware.

Volunteers….
as you know – they don’t get paid but
lots of them sign up for the tasks they are given – it’s
up to them how many hours they do but
every day you’ll see them – aiding the cause
day by day – doing jobs for more esteem than finance
