Love Spring, when nature wakes up after its winter hibernation. Filling the garden and countryside in bright and fragrant flowers 

Pixie Pink

small bright velvet pink petals

shimmering in the afternoon sun

bobbing about in a gentle breeze

like cheeky pixies having fun

proudly growing by a brick wall

amongst the fronds of a green fern 

attracting buzzing bumble bees

as they visit every flower in turn

 scent floats on the gentle breeze

as the sunshine warms the air

nature is full of wondrous magic

as each flower smiles with flair

Hop to it

skip to it

jump up and down

fire it up

and let it fly

smile - don't frown

if you're feeling really blue

then stand on your head

don't let the world control

instead, let's just rock it!

Language of Words

Burn sentences so they turn to dust

take each letter and cleanse the poetry I write

Let the blind see what the deaf can not hear

spurring on the lime to win the fight

So mix and spin the language of passion

creating pictures from deep within the mind

Spoken or written, let all the words flow

capturing them within the soul for us to find

I came across this story from 17 years ago and found it fascinating that a cat and bear could become great friends.  This inspired me to write this little poem.

Pussy Cat visits the Zoo

Pussy cat pussy cat

          what did you do

I got on the bus

          to visit the zoo

Pussy cat pussy cat

          what did you there

looked at the animals

           smiled at a bear

Pussy cat pussy cat

            who did you see

long necked giraffes 

             and a chimpanzee

Pussy cat pussy cat

             time to go home

made lots of memories

            you`re never alone

Hello is such a simple word that can start an amazing new adventure! So why not say "hello" this morning and see where it will lead you.

Bonjour, dia duit, hello to you

let's welcome in this brand new day

ciao, witam, how's it going mate!

I find ' Hi ' and smile - is the best way!

Mother Nature is all around us, sharing her beauty,  inspiration,  calmness and healing power. She wraps us in her love  🌿 🌸☀️

To be at one with nature 

stirring the senses of the soul

wrapped in sounds and beauty

Mother Nature at her best

playful squirrels in the trees

swans glide across the water

trees attired in scented blossom

all mixed with children's laughter

Therapeutic Poetry

To lose a loved one can affect us in many different ways. We feel lost, angry, confused and alone - to name but a few emotions. There is no right or wrong way to grieve, so don`t be influenced by others.  Grieving is personal to yourself and your family, there is no time limit.

Each day is different, some are good and others are overwhelming emotions that are affected by simply things like, memories, objects, people and places.

Writing a poem is very therapeutic and can help you to express your feelings. Poetry can help release pressure that can build up through bereavement. By writing a few words, they don`t have to rhyme, can help you to move forward. A few lines hold a memory together. In time more poetry will flow and help you to blossom.

Why not have a go at writing a poem about your loved one, a memory to made together or about an emotion that you feel. 

If you feel like sharing or just holding on to your poem close to your heart, that is perfect okay to do.  Give it a try and see how you feel as these are just to help you express your inner feelings.

Happy Writing
