Stormy times ahead

Stormy times ahead so...

batten down the hatches

stock up the cupboards

then seal all the latches

cold winds blowing

snow is coming

hard rain lashing

stormy times ahead

block up the doorways

check all windows as well

logs ready for the fire

this`ll be the storm from hell

windows rattling

snow is pitching

rivers swirling

stormy times ahead

huddled near the fire place

winds howling all around

settled in for the duration

as the storm hits the ground

winds so freezing

snow now falling

fireside blazing

Stormy times are here !

Frozen Rainbow

Through a frosted surface

feathered features can be spied

bathed in many different colours

this rainbow trapped inside

delicate details preserved

capturing a moment in time 

this wonder of sheer beauty

shows nature at it`s prime !

such a little frozen world

so colourful to the eye

caught up in an icy orb

this miniature bubble we see !!

Walkies in the Rain

Racing around the park

paws splashing in puddles

sunshine and showers

with rainbows all ablaze

jumping in the lake

all through the afternoon

as you chase the ducks

in and out the waters

your fur dripping wet

all the fun and games 

as the sun comes out

feeling warmth on your face

watching you shake

shake all the rain from your fur

twisting and turning

spraying rain drops

in different directions

baring your teeth n a grin

and your soak me too!

love our walkies in the rain

Depression

such a feeling of total failure

where every mole hill`s a mountain

with loose rocks ready to hurt!

invisible, alone

trapped in cold darkness

fearful of life

with doors locked

all hope

gone!

50th Wedding Anniversary

fifty wondrous years of marriage
a love that`s bound strong together
memories to hold and cherish
a great partnership forever

no matter what life`s thrown at you
you`ve always remained so strong
mum and dad you`ve made us laugh
as you live life to your cheerful song!

family time has meant so much to you
growing up has always been such fun
making great memories to share
over a cuppa with everyone

fifty years of blissful marriage
let`s all join the celebrations
raise a glass to John and Jacqueline
as we say congratulations

Emotion

we`re made up of many emotions

feelings felt deep within the heart

strong passions flowing freely

mixed with everyday life

sorrow, anger, love

to name a few

surround us

hold us

tight

💜

Berries & Carnations

Rosy red petals caught in sunlight

bright cascading berries shimmer

sweet scent of nature's perfume

lighting up this dull day

aromas of tea

wafting on by

lifts my heart

pleasing 

sight

Kitchen is closed today

don't want to cook no more

going to have some fun

not do another chore!

outside in the sunshine

with many things to see

I'm going to explore

for I want to be free

maybe I'll go flying

or travel to the west

see what's under water

don't want to sit and rest!

I'm sure you'll understand

me needing time away

tomorrow I'll be back

kitchen is closed today!!
