Moonlight
soft moonlight shimmers over the sea
while following it`s nightly arc
casts shadows across the waves
ripples caught in it`s light
gentle soothing sounds
calming the soul
touched senses
moonlight
peace

Whirling World
The world all around me
spinning, racing, pounding
engulfing my emotions
smothering and drowning
trapped in a revolving cycle
feeling so much tension
irritation, resentment
never any intervention
life whirling faster and faster
vision blurred, can not undo
screaming from deep within
nowhere to escape too
sound pulsing through my veins
flooding my soul with pain
stop this speeding roundabout
will I ever find myself again?

Healing Cats
it always amazes me,
how cats just know your moods
they come and show you love
whenever you need it most
sad news or illness
they are always there
warming up your lap,
nuzzling you and purring
when you really need it most
they have this sixth sense
its homes in on your needs
they are there like a shot
healing you with all their love
cats are amazing animals
they are there when it really counts
I adore my cats.....

I am the servant for two wonderful cats!!
Feline Friends
Dirty foot prints across my work top
neatly stacked papers knocked to the ground
a whisker lies there on the pillow
there has to be a cat some where around
hear a jingling of a tiny bell
the soft meow from inside a box
or a padding of paws across the boards
purring as steady as the house clocks
crashing of a vase that`s been knocked over
to the howling under the moon at night
our feline friends are part of the family
snuggled up asleep, so every thing`s alright

Nonsense of Life
When all is said and done
the final curtain`s down
pick up your kit bag now
come on and smile, don`t frown
the grass is greener there
at least that`s what I`m told
so I should go exploring
travel before I`m too old
a pint full of goodness
to help me on my way
humble pie to feed me
thank you, is what I say
have to spend to gain things
to give and not to ask
your mission will start here
so please complete the task
to fight is to conquer
the battle can be won
so look on the bright side
because life can be fun!!

This is a little nonsense poem using up some of the phrases I knew when I was younger
They always make me laugh !

Twins
Twins
Gazing upon our wondrous twins
with little hands and perfect feet
new lives to protect and treasure
that makes our family all complete

Glimpse of Red Fur
A glimpse of red fur in the night
bright flash of eyes are then seenand a streak of white tipped tail
are signs of where it has been
there`s silence in the suburbs
though they scurry all about
scrambling through the rubbish
searching for food with their snout
only seen in din street lights
as they saunter all around
their pups following along
here they`re not chased by a hound
able to blend in to the night
foxes are resilient
so alert to all their world
these creatures are brilliant!
Saw a fox running along our street, in and out of the lamp lights....

Sunny Days
Sunshine and blue skies
laughter and big smiles
ice cream and sticky fingers
a memory that lingers
bright coloured fabrics
and some cheery lyrics
face paints, coloured balloons
on lazy sunny afternoons
picnics by the river`s edge
watching ducklings fledge
chilling out in many ways
enjoying those sun filled days!

Mum`s Taxi
It`s really quite amazing
how my life can twist and turn
one moment I`m sat at home
then I`m off to drive and learn
collecting children from the station
a drive to uni in the sun
or a shopping trip with my friends
not forgetting the school run
so remember what the sign says
the one in my car window
"Mum`s Taxi", so I`m the best
I`m here through rain, sun or snow!
Mum`s Taxi is a great occupation and I love it!

Lockdown (easing) !?!?
our way of life has changed so much
living through lockdown is tough
stay at home, protect the NHS
there are times we`ve had enough
but now with easing lockdown
our government is having a joke
one day we have to stay at home
the next day we can meet other folk
we had to do our jobs from home
if we had kids, to school them too
only go out to shop or exercise
it`s so complicated but true!
we can now return to work
but travelling is a nightmare
driving, cycling or shank`s pony
don`t use buses if you have a care!
they want the schools to open again
a staggered start is planned
but preparation is in a shambles
not sure if schools understand
so this easing of restrictions
is definitely confusing
hope all this will be worth while
I`d hate to think we were losing!

Our Holiday!!
Paper thin walls that hide nothing
narrow corridors with no windows
never enough storage or drawers
small beds with tiny flat pillows
all the shoes stored by the doorway
fridge crammed full of all that`s needed
towels and swim things draped everywhere
normal rules need not be heeded
our car`s parked on a patch nearby
the play area`s across the site
a plot of grass outside our door
for our blanket, it fits just right!
no matter what the weather does
we will explore, visit and roam
having a great time on holiday
so for this week, this is our home !!
