Pets are amazing creatures and always there when we are low, unwell or just need some love. Little Jay just knows when to appear and cheer me up. I wrote this poem a couple of years ago, it still rings true today











Healing Cats

It always amazes me,
how cats just know our moods
come and show us love
whenever we need it most
sad news or illness
they are always nearby
warming up our laps,
nuzzling us and purring
when we really need it most
they have this sixth sense
that homes in on our needs
and there like a shot
healing us with all their love
cats are amazing animals
they are there when it really counts
I adore my cats.....

 It`s getting colder now as winter is tapping on my door, I remember stories of Jack Frost from my childhood.

                                                      

 

Jack Frost

Today my window is frosted up
a white blanket engulfs everything
spiky branches silhouette the moon
as a mist can be seen all around
the howling winds swirl about
temperatures have dipped below zero
glistening spider webs span the plants
tiny footprints across my path way
Jack Frost has been dancing here
he has left his mark for all to see.

  A Poppy for a Soldier

From the first world war to the latest one
millions of men, women and children have died
but millions more have been left to suffer
these are the ones, help has been denied

fields full of bright red poppies standing tall
where once men stood and fought the war
many have no rest place for kin to grieve
others have been left to suffer for sure

 each Remembrance Day is important
we should all wear our Poppies with pride
for many people lost their lives for us
as they fought together side by side

now it`s our turn to give something back
to help an injured soldier in times of  need
encourage,  support and care for each one
be there in their hour of pain, guaranteed

every red poppy is significant
each one represents a soldier that fell
this year wear your poppy with respect
as we honour our service personnel.

Bristol

Beautiful West Country city
River Avon flows through to the harbour
Iconic suspension bridge by Brunel
SS Great Britain moored where she was built
Take to the skies at the Balloon Fiesta
Oldest Zoo in the world outside a capital
Local heroes Wallis and Gromit are Bristolian

Alphabetical verses are great fun to do,  I enjoyed playing around with words.
Why not give it ago.



Alcohol builds courage, dispelling everyday fears. Gin helps increase jittery kids loudly making nuisances of people`s quirkiness. Rum sends teachers upstairs very whimsically x-rating yonder zone!

This photo was from Orkney Uncovered and the poem uses the comments on this beautiful Highland Moo.  Written just for fun.




Highland Moo

She stands tall and very proud
a look of "you're next" on her face
aware of all thats around her
such a beautiful rustic  place

just want to give her a cuddle
 a  fine beast of a cow that she be
watching from under her fringe
wondering what she can really see

barbed wire has become comfy wire
perfectly shaped in her winter coat
she`s put up highland decorations
this clever moo can seriously gloat

 Ding Dong Merrily on high!



🎀
ding
dong
merrily 
on high let
the bells ring 
for   everyone 
proclaiming the
joys of this festive
 season let their chimes
full hearts with wondrous
cheer calling each one of us to 
celebrate  all the wonders of this
time
of  the
year
