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

hedgehog

hides

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!

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..

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!
