Be Curious

discover your surroundings
learn to overcome your fears
explore new opportunities
seek out new adventures
listen to those around you
start to feed your brain
create new memories
and release your inner spirit

Ode to a Washing Line 

To see white billowing sails
flashing across the garden skies
full flight in the steady winds
lows followed by mighty highs

colours bright in the morning sun
all tethered along the line
heavy with a clean crisp smell
now parading and looking fine

sometimes blocking out the sun
changing shape in the winds blowing
patterns fall across the ground
creating shadows ever flowing

sounds of cloth cracking in the wind
with the sudden change of direction
such a joy to see the line full
of clean clothes, such perfection.

Silverback

an awesome gorilla in his prime
stands proud for all his troop to see
muscular arms and a powerful roar
 that`s  heard throughout the forest
wearing his distinctive silver back
no one will argue, he`s in command
protecting his family from all danger
he`s the master of all he surveys

An intelligent and handsome creature
in shaggy orange fur orange fur coat
roaming free through the rainforests
master of everything in his domain

a solitary character, trying to survive
swinging high through the branches
clever mind, able to adapt to his needs
shaping the tools to help find his food

eyes that hold deep pools of emotions
feeling the power of his surroundings
living in harmony with the land
wrapped within his precious world

Secret Path

wandering slowly 
down a secret way
wrapped up amongst 
the leafy trees
silence that calms 
a turbulant mind
while walking along 
the earthy path
hark sweet chirps 
of little birds
a flash of colours 
of paper wings
maybe beyond the bend
hides a secret place

Gorilla

this magnificent gorilla in his prime
standing proud for all his troop to see
determined to defend, yet very gentle
the master of his whole family

muscular arms and a powerful roar
that can be heard throughout the land
wearing his distinctive silvered back
no one will argue that he`s in command

travelling through the dense forests by day
he leads around their territory he`s known
family nests in the trees are built each night
he`s too heavy, so sleeps on the ground alone

this silverback is a powerful champion
very adaptable and intelligent
always protecting his troop with his life
for this gorilla is simply magnificent

LIVERPOOL

Liverpool is from an Old English word and meant a Muddy Pool
Iconic pop-rock band The Beatles originated here in 1960
Vibrant culture from music, commerce, religion, travel and much more
Everton and Liverpool Football Clubs have over 280 years of history
Royal Liver Building is a widely recognized landmark on the skyline
Port of Liverpool, one of the largest, busiest and diverse port in the UK
Origins can be traced back to 1190 and was first known as Liuerpul
Outstanding and historic waterfront creates a dramatic region of the city
Liver birds on the top of the Liver Building are called Bertie and Bella!

Remembering those lazy August days with my kids!
 


 

Summer holidays
 
Those lazy August days
hiding from the rain
finding different ways
for the kids to entertain
 
vivid sticky painted hands
newspaper on the floor
for when disaster lands
they`re always wanting more
 
building things with Lego
creating new landscapes
not forgetting Primo
brightly coloured shapes
 
then it`s time for tea
after clearing up the mess
laughing, smiling, full of glee
 kids are full of happiness
