Stones of Remembrance

Large smooth rounded stones , foundations to build a life

each stone balanced by faith as memories are held together

bright sunray, light up each stone, capturing precious moments

safely stored for evermore by adding new stones to the stack

defying gravity as the stack grows holding magical times at heart

continuing to add new thoughts, a life time of love kept together.

Home Coming!

 winds howl and snow blankets all the land

dark sky`s lit by millions of stars

one lonely figure travels on

bent against the weather

family on his mind

returning home

for Christmas

festive

time

🎄

Four Legged Friends

walking down country lanes

splashing in the puddles

helping dig up the garden 

then home again for cuddles

furry friends for life 

and companions altogether

snuggled by the fireside

making memories forever

Cheshire Cat

Mysterious mythical cat

with his uniquely strange ways

you may even have noticed 

I`m not all here myself, he says

quite an unusual character

sat high up in his own tree

can you stand on your head?

we`re all mad here, you see!

purple and pink stripped fur

 big grin that`s mischievous 

 a cheeky twinkle in his eyes

all normality, he`s oblivious 

imagination is only a weapon

in the war against reality

this Cheshire Cat would say

while he grins up in his tree!

no time to fret in wonderland

just smile, or you`ll explode

for you see, we`re all mad here  

just travel along your chosen road

♬🎜It`s World Nursery Rhyme Week  ⭐

 As we`re celebrating nursery rhymes this week, i thought I would share my poem about nursery rhyme land, from jack and Jill to Goldilocks, there`s plenty of characters to meet.  

Nursery Rhyme Land

There`s a hole in my bucket

I knew it wasn't there before

on my way with Jack up the hill

to fetch some water, t`was our chore!

Miss Muffet was going to join us

but she was scared off by the spider

will miss eating her curds and whey...

she`s gone to the pub for cider

so we met up with the three pigs

as the wolf had destroyed their homes

walked to market for a new bucket

then had tea with our friends the Gnomes

Humpty Dumpty was feeling ill

he had fallen into a swoon

so we sent Puss In Boots to see

and he gave him a dish and spoon

Goldilocks was feeling lonely

the bears were away in Hong Kong

so later that night we all met up

and had a great big sing a long!

Christmas Cheer!

It`s that time of year again

the excitement is growing

everyone has their secrets

there`s no sign of it slowing

shopping bags and packages

sticky tape, and wrapping paper...

cards written and presents done

all this fun is such a caper

decorations all in place

creating the atmosphere

raise your glass everybody

for Christmas time is here!

Christmas count down has started!

Depression

With such a feeling of total failure

where every mole hill`s a mountain

strewn with loose rocks, ready to hurt!

invisible, alone

trapped in cold darkness

so fearful of  everything all around me

with closed doors wearing padlocks

quicksand pulling me slowly underground

fearful, isolated

stuck in a frightening place
