Through the Window!

Spying our history through history

ready and willing to tell its story

where time stretches way back in time

Picts, Vikings, not forgetting the Ba

light brings life to each coloured stone

detailed around every window and door 

altered many times through centuries

this vibrant building is no dinosaur

through a Bishop's Palace window spied

majestic St Magnus Cathedral is eyed

the tallest building in the community

as Kirkwall folk come together in unity

don't walk past and ignore this great view

stop and enjoy its beauty along the way

each and everyone is part of the story

history has made us who we are today

Love a challenge and had fun writing this poem 🌊❄️☔️🌬☁️🌧


Here`s the Weather

It`s a mixed bag over the UK
so here`s the forecast for today
a bit "nesh" up in Nottinghamshire
and "raining stair rods" in Lincolnshire
so don`t forget your umbrella
or maybe stay indoors with your fella
up in Aberdeen it`s "blowing a hoolie"
so the wind is really rather unruly
down on the south east coast
"here comes old Phoebe" they can boast
where ever you are, please be careful
and we hope this forecast has been helpful!

Happy 43rd Wedding Anniversary

To my sweet loving husband

my soulmate, my best friend

you filled my world with love

and gave me a reason to smile

we raised our family together

creating wonderful memories

to share our whole life through

I miss those happy time we spent

I miss your cheery zest and joy

yet I know we`ll see you again

Love and miss you Steve 

xXx

Lightning

Flash of light across the dark sky

illuminating the  garden`s flower bed

zig zagging before a clap of thunder

as the storm passes overhead

a symphony of sound to hear

electric pulses through the night

emotion felt deep within the soul

nature`s fireworks, a wondrous sight

each strike of lightning`s so unique

creating bright patterns to follow

 rumblings heard in the distance

as the storm continues to grow

nature`s battle through the night sky

large droplets of rain hits the ground

an atmosphere that blasts the senses

there`s nothing like it to be found

Pets are amazing creatures and know when we are low.  My cat is no exception, she's  always full of love and very much part of our  family. She stays by my side and watches over me, my feline friend and cat companion 🐾

Healing Cat

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 close 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 cat

I found myself walking along a path through a wood in springtime.  After a cold harsh winter, new life begins to appears, colours erupt from once dormant ground, all around it life yet it  was so peaceful.  I love springtime and found that I wanted to remember the experience, so I wrote this.

dappled sunshine feels warm upon my skin

as I walk gently through this lush green place

to see new life return after the dormant times

smell the aroma of nature and love this space

I'm in my happy zone, it's so peaceful here

calm, soothing, tranquillity is felt  all around

secret paths, a shady seat, laughter in the air

nature in her beauty, scent, sight and sound

Friendship Bear

Hi, Im a little Friendship Bear 

with my own friendly bubby bear 

lets play and have an adventure

together we can have lots of fun

 maybe snuggle and read some books

so, lets make memories to treasure

We`ve reached Friday and it`s certainly been a hot week. Wishing you all a wonderful day filled with positivity, determination and quiet moments to think things through. I`m ready with my pen and can`t wait to let the ink flow freely.

Wishing the world Good Morning

the tools of my day await me

crisp white paper and a pen

my chosen sword for this task

let the ink flow freely today !
