Power of Nature!

By the shores of Lake Ontario

in the depth of a severely cold winter

frozen winds redecorate the houses

forming ice sculptures that glitter

as the fierce winds whip up the waves

covering this world in a layer of icing

encasing the surrounding buildings

like plaster, nature is sculpturing 

trees that take on an eerie existence

branches shrouded in dirty veils

distorted shapes through the storm

thrown around in these strong gales

when everything ceases, there`s silence

and stillness engulfs the whole area

nature`s destruction has stopped 

further wintry storms would be scarier

      It`s Snowing Outside     

Settled by the roaring fire

glowing embers from within

crackling as the logs burn

feeling the warmth on my skin

snuggled up on the couch

as the daylight slowly dies

cosy under luxurious furs

while flames mesmerise my eyes

outside the snow is falling

covering the world in white

feel safe and warm by the fire

as the day slips into night

Wise Owl Hunting

Watching, wondering

the wise old owl looks

ever vigilant

its talons, curled hooks

listening tentatively

for mice down below

as she sits so still

silent as the snow

her plumage blends in

with nature around

patience is the game

as she makes no sound

how long she will wait

longer than I would

her eyes miss nothing

for this owl`s so good

I watch her for hours

now chilled to the bone

so I`ll take my leave

let her hunt alone

Snow

landscape carpeted in soft white snow

muffled in silence all around

gentle crunch heard underfoot

kids in scarves, mitts and hats

snowmen standing tall

happy children

snowball fun

winter

snow

Merry Christmas !

With the tree all decorated

all the presents wrapped up too

cards festooned around the room,

ready to spend Christmas with you

stockings hang on the mantelpiece

while a roaring log fire warms

watching the snow falling outside

as the landscape slowly transforms

what will Santa bring this year

to all the good girls and boys

they will have to wait until morn

for their gifts of sweets and toys

so taking this moment to relax

before the festive season starts

wanted to wish a Merry Christmas

from the bottom of our hearts

Our pets are a huge part of our family life and give affection freely.  They help our mental health, unconditional love and are also great company.

Why not celebrate our love with a poet name poem with a photo to show how much we appreciate them.

Here are a couple of pet name poems I wrote for some of my beautiful cats.

Bubbles and Squeak 

such an honour to have known this pair

great feline sisters,  full of love

full of boundless energy

bright eyed and bushy tailed

enjoyed their cuddles

great sun seekers

loud purring

soft fur

cats

Christmas Time

this is the season to be festive

decorating the Christmas tree
hang the stockings by the fire
wrapped gifts await the morn
Santa rides tonight
gifts for good kids
Christmas Day
is here
joy!

A Wintry Night

All is quiet on this wintry night

snow gently covering everywhere

turning all the landscape white

there`s great excitement in the air

sky scattered with millions of stars

lanterns lighting our travels home

twinkling amongst the snowflakes

welcoming all from where they roam

all snuggled cosy by a roaring fire

as snow slowly blankets the ground

sipping a mug of frothy hot chocolate

peace, warmth and comfort is found
