The first wall is set.
Its kin wobbles in the breeze –
Shadows shroud the skill.

Moon song
It’s tough work, drawing enough of yourself
up from the well
that has grown brambles and roses all over
to prevent anyone snatching it away.
No longer can an echo bring up droplets from its depths
to sprinkle as greetings
when greeting is the last thing you want to do.
Even the sun offering its hand
can sway you only so much,
but the moon is the one who whispers to you
urging the water inside
to be spilt only when necessary
and fully charged by its silver.
Workshop Adventures
The day has been full-on:
adventures and silliness,
words sandwiched between words
and tales twisted until every drop
of story has been strained out
and boiled back together.
Hard sweets bursting with flavour.
Smiles, giggles and notes running off the page,
finishing with inspiration not just
for the listeners,
but the speaker also.
Colours of life
Long have tapestries been woven to tell tales.
Thread expertly chosen to depict every detail,
dyes richly combined
to bring forth the imagery.
Clear, neat, refined.
Silvertongues have learnt to weave tapestries with words.
Audiences spend hours listening
in suspense, enthralled by the daring twists at play.
Poets do the same, but set down their words
so the tapestries may be admired time and time again.
When Silvertongues and poets gather,
such is the intensity
that the air fills with the colour of life.
Each a muse to the other,
they walk hand in hand,
bonded at last to oversee the ripples
they couldn’t help but create.
Magic!
I have a ball of magic,
right here in my hand,
and if I wish upon it,
I can create enormous
dunes of sand.
Or whole fields of vibrant poppies
that wave to me in the wind,
and I can even make a robot
by magicking together
my collection of used tins.
Sometimes I sit and wonder,
‘What do I have this power for?’
Then a flood of ideas fill my head
and all I can think of
is creating more!
