Migration

Written through the mindset of the Bird
and with a
metaphysical after-thought
Upon Wing do I mount.
To the breeding grounds
must I return
the long flight south.
Some will fall away.
Some will be clutched from the sky
by shot and ball.
Our formation remains
in elongated unequal V.
Each will move to Arrowhead,
Tiring will fly in-stream
Younger ones …
Older will Slip-stream for them.
With this departure
note well
It draws a line in the sand
that confirms
We Will Return.
It is Certain …
It is Preordained …
It Cannot be otherwise …
Except that Humankind
has brought about Climate Change …
within the next ten years … this catastrophe wrought
by Humankind becomes irreversible
And thus
would we hitherto have conveyed
Reassurance to Humankind
from on High
Act Now
Your silly religions will not help you
Our Signature
We Three

Hilton Services M6 without warning
Thursday 10 October 2019 11:44 am 5 min
en route to Liverpool
upon seeing a photograph sent by a friend
and, unbeknown, encouragement by a friend
when taking an incoming hands-free call on the M6
This is how writing occurs
Never any plan
It rests upon one simple premise
Seize the moment ~ capture that all too easily missed elusive thought
So steht es geschrieben
Niemals irgendein Plan
Es basiert auf einer einfachen Bedingung
Ergreifen Sie den Moment - fangen Sie diese schwer fassbare Idee
Ken Webb is a writer and proofreader. His website, kennwebb.com, showcases his work as a writer, blogger and podcaster, resting on his successive careers as a police officer, progressing to a junior lawyer in succession and trusts as a Fellow of the Institute of Legal Executives, a retired officer with the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve, and latterly, for three years, the owner and editor of two lifestyle magazines in Liverpool.
He also just handed over a successful two year chairmanship in Gloucestershire with Cheltenham Regency Probus.
Pandemic aside, he spends his time equally between his city, Liverpool, and the county of his birth, Gloucestershire.
In this fast-paced present age, proof-reading is essential. And this skill also occasionally leads to copy-editing writers’ manuscripts for submission to publishers and also student and post graduate dissertations.
