and lets the blackness rule outside rising winds chased clouds which raced from their grasp like naughty children evading bed time but there was no fun attached to their game instead a sense of foreboding was tangible in the air that night see more stormy offerings at friday writings posted by jinksy at 11 27 14 comments friday 8 september 2023 angel dreams revisited adrift in dreams imagination whirls and lilac angels wings fly close at hand the flower scented air begins to swirl and lulls us further we can understand concepts which in daytime make no sense for night time loosens bonds of black or white sends technicolour shades in recompense to meld all boundaries of wrong or right when waters of emotion lap the shores of self expression artists utilise that wave swell of power of creation they may focus on their craft without pause visions refreshed in dream time are allies in the fight to free imagination thanks to p su friday writings posted by jinksy at 20 12 27 comments saturday 19 august 2023 conundrum with apologies to the musical score of oliver which gave me the title i ve used as a springboard for this somewhat strange offering thanks go to p su for their prompt on friday food glorious food hot pudding and custard will always cut the mustard in the pantry stakes a little known sport of kings who choose to ponder on such things to give themselves a welcome break from hard decisions they must make which functions would they rather miss versus those they can t resist smart jockeys on horses jump menu s multi courses flout a long held law open to much hidden folly via satan s sweet course trolley the betting stakes rise ever higher fan the flames of inner fire as the bookies play their part long before the races start to eat or not to eat aye there s the rub posted by jinksy at 14 27 20 comments friday 11 august 2023 game for a laugh i sense something silly is it growing from my head i knew that it was waiting soon as i climbed out of bed it s not a hat or hunk of hair but just a thought that took root there and wanted to be captured on a page despite my somewhat sober writing age i think it is a giggle that s decided now s the time i can feel it start to wriggle like washing on a line that s pegged but longs to travel risking falling in the gravel for it wants to see what life is like below it s all about the viewpoint don tcha know now it s off and flying free look out there it goes it only just missed hitting you on your rosy nose and no one would be laughing at such abysmal timing i hope it takes a new far distant road before it lets its giggle bomb explode oh beware it s on the loose dear reader have a care it may descend upon you before you know it s there it will titillate your funny bone despite your being all alone and seeds of laughter may sail through the air to plant themselves in people everywhere thanks go to this blog for its inspiration and apologies for using the title before you can see how laughing has me in its spell posted by jinksy at 16 01 25 comments wednesday 9 august 2023 thinking out loud this afternoon i happened upon a tv programme with the arresting title of an englishman abroad coupled with the name alan bennet he was talking to camera about holidays with his parents explaining how his experiences then lead to his writing a play of the same name many years later his early observations of human behaviour are surely the yeast which has given rise to a feast of books and dramas that continue to delight us it would be foolish of me to aspire to such literary heights but here even a nattering napple can post her silent thoughts in a blogland post box to be read by who knows one can but dream posted by jinksy at 16 40 4 comments sunday 6 august 2023 in search of rhyme or reason perhaps that pretty much describes my day blogland that wonderful place which allowed us to share many rhymes and reasons has been steadily decreasing in size exactly like the polar ice caps father time will certainly call a halt to many of our number as we pass our sell by date to use a modern concept but spasmodic posts from various sources can surface if we go hunting with determination today i came across an old blogpal rwp and you too can share his joy if you click here isn t life grand posted by jinksy at 16 11 4 comments sunday 11 december 2022 winter dark afternoon and post script there is a fly too small to be a fly in capital letters i dub it fruit fly i don t know how it thrives it tries to butt my desk lamp caught in the beam it blushes red translucent as a traffic light till it changes lanes to disappear in darkness all diversions are fruitless it comes back an irritant with a knack of avoiding each swat i swing setting a trap with an open paged book ready to snap i become a hunter judging the moment to dispel the torment of circling gnat or fly in the twinkling of an eye persistence wins splat i ve sinned pray forgive this mindful murder my sorry tale may go no further p s it s 4 44pm on 9 3 2023 and i found a draft just now that had been sitting around unpublished for far too long thus i ve decided to send it out to sail the seas of blogland in the hope it may encounter signs of habitation on some far flung outpost of the blogland empire smiles x from jinksy posted by jinksy at 18 52 8 comments saturday 24 july 2021 gestation from some inner dark glimmer seeds of love and light a mother gives birth from emotion s well once silent words are drawn forth a poet writes with thanks to the sunday muse for their inspiration posted by jinksy at 13 45 30 comments sunday 18 july 2021 too hot to handle heat wave shimmer over an arc of sky is echoed above the crowded cities houses huddle together whispering desperate pleas to an uncaring world where selfishness rules natural order is out of balance and pollution reigns blinkered by dark glasses humanity throws back its head howls at this injustice without admitting the part they had played in its creation a radical change of consciousness is imperative now only time s future seeds will be able to witness final success or failure who will history blame for either end thanks to the sunday muse for the inspiration posted by jinksy at 12 52 7 comments saturday 10 july 2021 internalisation the artist s model sat as though entranced by some secret known only to herself calm and detached from the real world an ideal subject for any painter faced with a blank white canvas palette and brushes poised for action he sensed this air of secrecy and knew he must be the one to capture it in the portrait already taking shape in his mind s eye as the image began to emerge the very air thrummed with a mysterious energy joining the painter with his subject in a dance of inspirational delight a masterpiece was about to be born thanks to carrie at the sunday muse for another image destined to spark a blogger s imagination posted by jinksy at 12 28 23 comments saturday 3 july 2021 time to muse sea dreams carried on the rising tide of night flotillas of persistent dreams set sail while whirlpools circumnavigate my mind attempt to drown it i pray for quiet sleep to steer a course towards a harbour s calm waters but all the while i hear the cries of ancient nightmares sinking down towards night s ocean bed biding time to resurface thanks once again to carrie at the sunday muse where a time warp happens to allow me to post an offering on a saturday ain t time and technology wonderful posted by jinksy at 11 57 14 comments sunday 27 june 2021 all in the mind on a dull damp weekend what better than to visit carrie to see what is afoot and the prompt picture subject is a four footed being just waiting for me to come out of retirement to play with apologies for seeing and capturing the unexpected angle the shaman in dreamtime he enters a sacred space far from the baying hounds of whirling dark he summons forth great spirit energies come instil in us the hunter s power give us silent padding feet as we stalk ever cautious towards our wary prey let our arrows fly true kill with mercy the wild beasts on whom our survival rests with his ancestral gods his mind entwines and travels far beyond those realms in which the anxious hunters wait for his return posted by jinksy at 15 16 27 comments sunday 2 may 2021 cause and effect out of nowhere the snow blizzard hit it whipped my wrap around skirt into a frenzy then whisked it away up up it billowed skywards baring my fishnet clad legs to the raging elements i screamed curses towards the leaden clouds but the winds retaliated blinded me with my own hair which snaked across my face stinging like the locks of medusa why did i storm out of that party just because i saw them kissing unusual for me to have a flight of fancy that doesn t land on the page as a poem but thanks to the sunday muse for galvanising me into action posted by jinksy at 13 59 21 comments monday 26 april 2021 game for a laugh i guess any bloglanders who happen to read this post may identify with at least part of it i e us oldies do tend to harp back to the past occasionally if not a lot today while searching for something i know is tucked away on some blog page of mine i happened to go here and ended up laughing like a loon it s not normally a good sign if one laughs at one s own jokes but i put it to you that in view of the time lag between 2009 and 2021 it s almost as though i m laughing at somebody else who is was this odd person willing to share proof of idiocy with all and sundry and a not only but also here and if neither of these links let you have a good giggle then jinksy s lost the plot posted by jinksy at 15 43 4 comments wednesday 14 april 2021 like the white rabbit i m late i m late but on discovering this photo on sunday musing s blog i had an urge to let the words flow so read on below poppy fields and paper planes they shoot thoughts back to a war when planes were metal and poppy fields ran with blood but now any mention of poppies catapult thoughts spinning to the drug barons who have succeeded in making red poppies more deadly than silver bullets and our whole world a battlefield posted by jinksy at 23 29 6 comments four more lines and a title ok there may be a few days gap in real life but in blogtime this is in direct response to my long time blogpal rwp s suggestion for making my last post s offering into a proper petrarchan sonnet ever one to rise to a challenge i ve attempted to comply with the rules and here goes title and all april s plea without a sunbeam s brush to gild her frame brave april s countenance betrays her plight she calls her hero helios in vain then crestfallen she cowers out of sight capricious forces conjure sun and rain into eternal conflict dark lords and bright wage their wars as moon tides wax and wane throughout the universe s star drenched night until by morning rotund earth s revolved in deference to laws decreed long since then sun flamed beams put shadow clouds to flight their unshed tears like morning mists dissolved as helios our hero on his plinth stands proud the great defender of the light posted by jinksy at 18 59 2 comments friday 2 april 2021 and the year rolls on from december to april this blog and i have remained silent whilst all around the pandemic has raged regardless perhaps it was the sunshine that prompted me to post today who knows but rather than creating something new i m copying a few lines i originally wrote on alias jinksy but they are missing a title perhaps any napple notes reader who may wander by could supply one for me but i shan t be holding my breath for wanderers may be scarce hehehe capricious forces conjure sun and rain into eternal conflict dark lords and bright wage their wars as moon tides wax and wane throughout the universe s star drenched night until by morning rotund earth s revolved in deference to laws decreed long since then sun flamed beams put shadow clouds to flight their unshed tears like morning mists dissolved as helios our hero on his plinth stands proud the great defender of the light posted by jinksy at 12 09 4 comments saturday 26 december 2020 strings on this dull chilly boxing day one little word catapulted several interpretations into my mind perhaps the noblest of which being strings of the heart for these are invisible bindings the strength of which cannot be measured like a shimmering web of spider s silk they weave their complex threads in and around us all as life plucks its melodies from them sometimes these are lyrical uplifting a song of joy but discords are always possible perhaps necessary to help us appreciate life s orchestrations to the full on a different level down to the brass band oompah music perhaps sorry to brass band enthusiasts no slur intended come the strings of lights on christmas trees the strings of paper chains or garlands looping their way around our homes or even the strings of onions does anyone still make those designed to hang close to the cook s chopping board in the kitchen and as we are on the downhill slope of this less than festive festive season then it s a fair to middling guess that there will have been any number of necks adorned with strings of pearls or beads glass clay popcorn or even papier mâché either given as gifts cheap ones or exhumed expensive ones
