The Inkwell
An acrostic on the colour orange (or is that the fruit orange)
Of course, you all know this colour – its the colour of the fruit
Red meeting yellow in the paint mixing pot
As the two colours come together – colour of
Navel and Seville
Greet you as it hits the paper – its not just in fruit though
Expect to see it on the spice rack or the soup dish
#CYW #Melon
Maybe its me – but I always
expected the colour of a melon would be darker than the one
like you find in your box of crayons – its innards more red than pink
of course, buy a honeydew it’s as yellow as the sun
nice sliced up – they’re sweet regardless of which one you choose

An acrostic on one of my favourite fruits
These wonderful fruits – start off green
as they make their long journey to my fruit bowl
kept in cold storage and delivered by boat
exiting one set of islands for another and
navigating their way to the nearest store
The secret is to make sure, the fruit
ripens at the right time
as although its very sweet to eat – its
not appealing to young eyes if they’ve turned more than yellow
so into the frosty vans they travel
paying attention to the temperature
only when the time is right will they
reappear on the shop front
to be bought by the customer
excitable little minds asking
dad or mum to put them in the shopping basket
ending up tween two slices of wholemeal or
accompanied by some nice vanilla ice cream
there’s many ways a banana can be enjoyed
even cooked in a pan and served up with a
nicely made butterscotch sauce
#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
Down in the family garden
a roaring yellow flower lives in the borders
next to the hyacinths, roses, and tulips
Don’t think this is your standard “Weed”
each one of these has their own shape and colour
liked when the mane disappears and the seed heads transform
into something more light and fluffy
on the right days these travel through the air – when
new yellow flowers begin to grow.
#Photography #Colour
The Orb rested on its spot
as in a moment, the image came into view
Images forming – like magic
colours red , green, yellow and blue
captured in a moment
by the little glass ball
In response to Thursday Photo Prompt
The woodland’s changing colour
from lush juicy greens to rustic reds
and painting a picture with a message
on the woodland paths
with each colourful crunch – “Winter’s coming”

A piece for tourmalines Color your world challenge
Could it be said, this bird is
as bright as the morning sun ?
noted for its bright yellow plumage
and as chirpy in the afternoon as he is in the morning
rise and shine folks, the morning is here! the little
yellow bird sings out.
Bringing a flash of colour
from the movement of its wings
the sight of them landing on the greens
oh what joy it brings
like windows of brightness
they appear on the green
having grown from caterpillars
mostly unseen
with wings translucent it passes by
it brings to the watcher a smile
who watches as in the air it flies
and stays in the garden a while
rainbows flutter as it moves round the green
stopping on a leaf where it can be seen
enjoying the sunshine whilst out in flight
and resting on plants at the dark of night
And while you see them flying about
their eggs have landed on plants – don’t shout
for caterpillars from eggs will grow
and soon new butterflies will be on show
Colourful insects that fly through the air
bringing a smile to those who are aware
keeping the flowers in garden a go
as they flutter round colours, to and fro
#fowc #referee #sport #football #rules #ball
It’s a funny old game is Football
You walk for miles down roads and up stairs
to get to those golden ticketed chairs –
then as players take to the field
you wait for the referee to yield –
the man in the middle – you await his call
and for stars on the pitch to start kicking the ball.
Then as it does,
and ball travels back
a flag or a whistle stops the attack
and you lament the official – in yellow blue or black
But in his defence – he follows the rules
and his fellows know their stuff – they’re no fools
So when whistle is signalled and games underway
They’re there to ensure there’s a bit of fair play.
And when defender tackles striker,
and he goes in far too hard.
The Man in the middle gives warning
with a bright yellow coloured card.
And player knows better, to look out instead
as the last thing he wants to see is red!
And when the match is over,
He whistles out to all…
“The match time is now finished –
That’s the last kick of the ball!”
