The Bridge

This piece was written as a homework for the writing class I go at Eden Court.  The title of the homework was The Bridge, which I wrote after seeing a photo of the Iron Bridge on a BBC webpage about the floods earlier this year.

The bridge spanned within the wide valley that has remained unchanged within living memory.  A simple arch from one side to the other wide enough for a single travelling cart with its rider, goods and leading horse.
     Standing out all black against the gorge that changes from green to golden yellow to bear brown trees with a blue roof high above where the white smile of a the moon looked down from with the shining bright sun beside it.  Beneath each point f the arch the red bricked base stood as the river flowed, maybe angered that some force has now outdone its natural work to create a barrier through the landscape as it has done for thousands of years.  All undone within a year.
     On both sides, all the working men in white shirts, dark trousers and black boots marvelled at their works as a single work; the brick makers, the brick layers, the firemen, the diggers, the riveters, the crane workers and the the workers of the iron works less than half a mile away.  From above, the men with smart suits and top hats marvelled below at what they had dreamt, planned and financed so that this bridge can rival all before it and will begin the new age of bridges across the world.  The newspapers are sure to talk and quote of and from thesis men, but one day future generations will begin the long road to remember those men in the working boots of their work.
     Who knows? Maybe they'll all pass over this manmade object as we are sure to do.  Are we ready to take that first step? The man in the top hat is now taking his across the bridge.

I hope that you've enjoyed my piece and come back for more.

50th Blog Post - Working on Projects

Here we are, the 50th Post of my Writing Blog.  Hard to believe that it's taken this long to get here.  

So far, all I have been doing during this lockdown has been clearing some weeds from my home garden and I have been looking over my projects and their notes.  I have been doing one project, that of June Arkwright, and so far I have written a fair piece of work, but I think that there's room for more work.  Hopefully, I will get back into posting again and soon.   

I hope that you all are doing well during this hard time.  

Hope to be back soon.
