Love`s Emotion

Love is a strange emotion

welling up inside me

turning my world upside down

messing with my reality

passion rising from my soul

making me dizzy too

my heart`s beating faster

at the thrill of seeing you

the hint of your cologne

and love in your eyes

secret rendezvous

full of wondrous surprise!

Autumn Hog

snuggled amidst the colourful leaves

deep within a silent woodland

small hogs slumber quietly

surrounded by nature

sleep well little one

warm and cosy

leave littered

Autumn Morn....

Bright autumn mornings
bathed in golden hues
crisp sunlight floods in
what pursuit should we choose?

go walking through the park
to enjoy nature`s beauty
dance amongst vibrant leaves
there`s so much wonder to see

the season of morning mists
fresh breezes to clear the mind
shorter days lead to longer night
a time to chill and unwind

so be time for scarves and gloves 
season signals winter`s on the way
as the earth prepares for the cold
so enjoy this crispy autumn day!

Mrs Bubbles

Roll up roll up! come see the toy shop

wonderful  treasures  to  explore

bright  colours  that  entice  you

trains, books, dragons, bears

there`s something special

for  everyone

play time

fun!

Agile `Bubbles`can do energetic feats, gambling heights, inquisitive jumps, leisurely meanderings near overhanging plants, quickly reaching secret treasure unwisely wishing`xtra  youthful zeal!

Alphabetical verses are great fun to do,

I enjoyed playing around with words.

Alcohol builds courage, dispelling everyday fears. Gin helps increase jittery kids loudly making nuisances of people`s quirkiness. Rum sends teachers upstairs very whimsically x-rating yonder zone!

We use to walk each evening around the park to keep fit. As we went every day we didn't notice the weather changing from autumn to winter until we suddenly found ourselves surrounded by the cold of winter.  This piece is the result of that experience.

Autumn to Winter

Autumns golden hues

red and orange and yellow

trees alight with bright colours

carpets of leaves covering the ground

being splashed around by

wellington booted children

clad in scarves, hat and mitts,

puffing clouds of steam

as they race around the park.

The trees are looking bare

now they`ve lost their summer coats

but here and there a holly tree

defiant in its green

squirrels red and grey alike

stocking up their larders

to see the winter through.

darker now the evenings

and colder all around

people hurrying to get home

to warm their weary bones

the grass is crunchier underfoot

Jack frost has danced around

he leaves the park all muffled

impressions of black and white.

winter has crept in

through the gap in Autumns door

and caught us all unaware

until it shouts BOO !!!!!!

Each life touches

the world in it`s own way

leaving not only

wonderful memories

but lasting imprints

on our hearts

Trapped feelings

weighing me down

twisting my mind

stabbing at my soul

where did I go wrong?

   As the leaves change with the seasons

                 painting landscapes in autumn colours

                           my pen flows across this page

              sharing the seasons of my soul

              spreading happiness and joy to all I love....

That Heavenly Moment.....

rich aromas of chocolate

with soft creamy froth

steamy hot and smooth

heaven in a mug

relaxing all my senses

soothing away the day

crisp crunch of biscuit 

bitter against this sweetness

that angelic moment 

I'm in heavenly bliss!

Witches Coven

The witches are out tonight

swooping, soaring through the clouds

can`t you hear them cackling?

as they merge into small crowds

with sharp noses and beady eyes

scraggly hair and grotesque warts

they land their brooms in clearings

this their preferred mode of transport

each coven is complete now

a large cauldron is made ready

all thirteen witches around

as they hold their wands steady

eye of newt and tongue of frog

a thread from a dragon`s vest

webs from black widow spiders

for this spell will be the best

the night is so black and clear

that big round moon shining bright

for the witches` spell`s complete

so celebrate Halloween Night!!

Happy Halloween everyone!!!!

Pumpkins and Kittens 

Furry bundles and smiley faces

hidden amongst autumn colours 
bright eyed and pricked ears
such a pair of merry brothers

reds, oranges through to browns
Sweet pumpkins cut by hand
while kittens play hide and seek together
this mischief making little band !

Tough Times

Tough times

hard measures

we must all be strong

support one another

stick together

for this road will be long!

stay alert

social distance

not forgetting face masks

and hand washing

let`s remember

we must obey these tasks

our survival

through these hard times

this invisible threat

found all around 

engulfs the world

times we`ll never forget!

Sand Moon

Rippling sands of time
sway across the night sky
undulating by the moon
on its path, arched so high

Silhouetting all about
creating striking designs
across this beautiful orb
leaving sandy fine lines

The bright rays of the moon
spreading light across the lands
shrubs swaying in the foreground
feeling like waving hands

With soft hues of autumn
floating on winged beams
as the moon follows its path
dwelling in the land of dreams

Two little soft feet

with toes in the air

wriggly little fingers

that grab at our hair

cute rosy cheeks

on a smiling face

joyous little gurgles

our bundle of grace !

Start of Autumn

September rumblings
autumn`s now on its way
the warmth has left the sun
cold blue skies here to stay

weather`s unpredictable
but that's how I like it
maybe we`ll have snow soon
it strengthens the spirit!

bright colours on the trees
they`re changing their attire
orange, reds and yellows
summer can now retire

it`s like another world
low lying misty mornings
everything is shrouded
sending winter warnings

crunchiness under foot
and a bite in the air
wrap up now and stay warm
it`s time to take good care

September`s a great month
marks a change in the year
for earth start to sleep
as winter will be here..

I love autumn, all the bright colours on thee trees and fruit ripening, harvest time!!
The Winter is just around the corner followed by Christmas....yeah!!!

Without you!

After that morning I lost you

life has never been the same

wishing I could hold you once more

and see your cheeky smile again

watching the sun rise each dawn

the moon travels its arc at night

but there's always something missing

now your wings have given you flight 

the ebb and flow of daily tides

the sands of time passes by

but thoughts of you will never fade

my soul yields to a saddened sigh

for life has lost its little sparkle

and the world feels really blue

but the things that helps me carry on

are all the precious memories of you!
