The InkwellA draft of idea
getting what you want on paper
without going into any great detail
the first bone of a skeleton
that forms over time
will it end up on the gallery wall ?
time will tell
but the recepticle by your right hand side
is ready to receive it should you change your mind

The moon is a bright shiny Ten Pence piece
The sky is a furry dark blanket
The stars are little sequins reflecting on that blanket
The sea is a vast mirror, reflecting whats above
The Moon is a beacon for space travelling mice
The sky is the map they use to travel about
The stars are the destinations on that map
The sea the place they hide their spaceship
The moon lights up the sky at night
The sky keeps a kite up in flight
The stars play with the new thing in the sky
The sea watches on, and moves on by

Salford, 3rd April 2020
Take a germ of an idea
give it identity
a place to live
a routine, neighbours, friends
add other characters into the mix
allow actions to take place
interaction, work, sport and even – a social life
What happens next ? – that’s down to you
Your hand on the tiller of the ship of the character
Flight of Fancy ? Perhaps…..
That’s writing, that’s Fiction
#fowc #Collaborate
Coming together – master of their crafts
on a mission – to craft a
labour of love,
local writers and poets – some
amateur, some well known professionals
bring together an opus of work to
orderly gander at
read at your leisure
and raise a smile at the
talent on every page
its available for a small donation to charity
of course – their all buying a copy for themselves
noting the day they came together – to create something special
#fowc #paper
pulped and rolled out wood chip
a marvellous media to receive the
pens contents
even if the colour is
red , blue, yellow or green
#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
#octpowrimo #ifiwereyou
opinion is a wonderful thing
but after you’ve vented your spleen
across two pages of finest vellum
re read, recollect your thoughts, and rewrite
for once you’ve stuck it in the envelope
and it’s journeyed to the news paper
a different edition of who you are
will be plastered over the letters page
and though you won’t see them
all eyes will turn on you
#octpowrimo
the old writing desk sits
in a sea of vellum , vitriol, and heartfelt tears
words carved by a sharp mind
and even sharper quill
now piled in a heap in the corner
edited highlights travel down the glass cables
but true intention hides away
under the weight of an empty glass
Sat in the corner in the inkwell
a mountain of thoughts, scribbles and ideas
moments, events and drawings
residing in a purple box
churning away till lightning strikes
and sentences form from that mass of written work
and sent down the line at some great speed
for someone a long way off to digest and read
The three buttons pressed
the work starts to disappear
in front of your eyes
computer insists
its day has just started
With a nice blank page
morals learned today
to take a tea break often
inbetween chapters
