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 read 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 !

Our local park is a haven of beauty, meandering pathways, secretive spots wonderful views.

Finding a colourful banner fluttering the afternoon breeze, inspired this poem 🌳

Colourful fluttering triangles

seen waving amongst the trees

where will the lead me too

flapping merrily in the breeze

music heard in the distance

drawing me further into the wood

scents of nature fills the air

creating a mysterious mood

through luscious swaying grass

shielding a meandering way

I'm drawn further along this path

for this secret has made my day

Picnic with a Cat

Come, join the picnic
Mistress pussy cat
sat in the garden

you may need a hat

as the sun is out
shining warm and bright
with you beside me
makes an awesome sight

a piece of chicken
to start you off well
followed by some cream
it`s the purfect spell

now you're curled up snug
for you've had your lot
sleep off this picnic
in this sunny spot.!

Nature is not just beautiful, calming, inspiring but a good healer too. It lifts us up and wraps us in a comforting hug.  I enjoy my walks, they help to clear my mind and inspire my heart ❤️ 

Nature, the Healer

 through good times or bad

Mother Nature heals the soul

from a torn and tattered heart

making broken senses whole

from sounds of birds singing

to a cormorant standing proud

while ducks waddle by the lake

quacking their happiness  aloud

buttercups, daisies and blossom

filling the air with gorgeous scent

nature, the healer is all around

instilling peace and contentment

On this day each year my family and I remember Steve, my husband, who recieved his wings and found peace.  I always write a poem from my heart and leave it on his grave. Its 19 years today

Dearest Steve 

On this emotional spring morning

I feel your presence deep in my heart

though you have been given your wings

I know our love together will never part

Can't believe where the years have gone

fighting back the tears on this sad day

once you were by my side, now I am alone

although our children are never far away

time has not changed my feelings for you 

yet as I grow older, my love is still strong

visiting your grave with flowers and a poem 

you're always in my heart, where you belong

This is an acrostic poem written for a lovely  Italian lady who loves to crochet and cook.

Teresa

The queen of writ and laughter

Energetic crocheter, ready with her hook

Regularly found cooking up a treat 

Ever the life and soul of the party

Sitting in her garden for coffee and a chat

An Italian full of class and style

Mental Health Awareness Week

11th to 17th May 2026

Mental Health is not always visable to people, but affects so many, some suffering in silence. It's a tough world out there. 

So a kind word, a smile, sharing a coffee and a chat, a moment of calm can really help.  

For me, poetry helps, being able to express my feelings with pen and paper. 

Sending positive and living vibes to you all

Depression

I have been told
I suffer from depression
mental health
they say,
emotional
unstable
well....
that`s not me, I`m sure

just being a mother
can get you down
mental stress
more like it
exhaustion
memory loss
need....
a little attention

when times are hard
a helping hand counts
mental friction
loss of confidence
need a new start
love and hugs
see....
I've now got it sussed

a little help
goes such a long way
mental care
a kind gesture
relaxation
chilling time
so...
we`re working together

Whispers

Listen to the whispers,

the whispers from your heart

for they will set you free

telling your soul softly

not to be afraid to walk your path....

open your eyes and see the light

that shines brightly from your inner self, 

so never fear the whispers 

from your heart
