The Guitarist

A lovingly crafted guitar

six taut strings vibrating with sound
as fingers pluck out their rhythm
or dance over the frets
for music fills the whole room
a sense of well being is found
hands moving swiftly with each strum...
creating wondrous melodies
watching the pleasure of playing
feeling the music in your soul
from lovely lilting serenades
to lively jazz and rock and roll
if music is the food of love
then play on my dear musician

Moments....

A moment in time

is all it takes

to let my pen flow

and a lifetime

of memories

held dearly of you....

Winter Fairy

a blanket of white covers the land

muffling each and every sound

for winter has come a calling

the Ice Fairy has been crowned

Mother Nature wraps her in white

creatures keep watch over her

winter has visited this garden

all is at peace so no need to stir!

Good Night

        God Bless You

                Sweet Dreams

Your Whole Night Through

(c) Lissie Bull 2019

To love you....

To walk hand in hand 
across warm golden sand
never again to be a apart 

To feel your touch so tender
as into your arms I surrender
and know you hold my heart

To always know you`re there
a love for us to share

forever my sweetheart!

I feel the call to lay my pen down

and surrender my writing to the night

allowing my dreams to take over

and paint pictures through emotions

for in the morn, I may write what I feel..!

Trapped Soul

stress and confusion are strong emotions
helping to convey a passion to my pen
letting ink swirl across this parchment
releasing words that have been locked away
creating pictures found deep in my caged soul ….

Frosty Walk

loud crunching underfoot
sparkling frost on the ground
fresh and invigorating
wintry sounds all around

icy puddles by the road side
and trees all dressed in white
sun low on the horizon
creating an eerie sight

at the end of this journey
there`s a big comfy chair
by a large roaring fire
where we can sit and share!

Cold weather

It`s that time of year when the weather becomes cold and icy.  January and February are wintry months and the weather confirms this.  Frost on the ground as the sun rises, feels like sparkles have been shaken over everything.  For some, it`s the muffles silence of a white blanket covering all the land. Snow looks wonderful, though unpleasant to travel back and forth to work.

Being a writer, I am lucky to be able to write anywhere. So in this cold spell,  I am able to stay at home and with my trusty notepad and pencil, I can paint pictures using the words from my heart and be inspired by all that`s around me. 

Frost, blue skies, snow or a roaring fire!   These can all be the start to new poetry in my mind.  A cat snoozing on the fireside rug or a steaming mug of frothy coffee.   That`s the joy of writing.

What would inspire you to writing?  Why not look around you and see what tugs at your imagination, then pop a few lines down on your notepad.   I would love to know what these would be. 

If you wish to share you writing, please feel free to do so.

Happy poetry to everyone

Lissie

Stilted Pathway!

By the blue lagoon waters

a stilted pathway is spied

meandering in its way
like a stumbling drunkard
on his journey home
across this serene bay

In these turquoise waters
each wooden post sunk deep
holding firm against the tide
and steadfast in its path
damp under our feet
 drawing us to the far side.

Seeing these tree posts
like fossils from the past
standing proud of the surface
enabling us to venture
safely across the bay
there's mystery in the place

Nature's Tear

Soft red velvet touch

yielding to emotion

single tear that's held

 a sign of devotion

This droplet holds a world

as if it's upside down

revealing such mysteries

 clinging onto its crown

A tender sense of passion

as the tear gently falls

for gravity its mistress

 and disappointment calls

Much beauty in the flower

and nature has its way

there's sorrow in this passing

at the end of the day.

Weekend...

Its been a quiet weekend for me which makes a change.

Sadly no heating due to a poorly boiler and the oven refuses to warm up so I am reduced to cold  and microwave!   Even the weather was miserable too! Cold wet and grey !!

A perfect time to curl up on the sofa with a hot cuppa and my trusty notepad and pencil, not forgetting my cats  Bubbles and Squeak!!

I managed to work on some new poems for Valentine`s Day, Mothering Sunday and some ideas for wedding day poems too.  

Each year is full of wonderfully different seasons, days,  festivals and special events.  I find all these so inspiring and totally amazing.

This weekend, I have also crocheted two baby blankets and half way through a third one. Love making these along with their little verses too.

I wonder what Monday with bring my way ……

Roses symbolise such passion

a precious gift for you, my dear

luscious scented velvety petals

just say, I want to keep you near
