Painted paper wings
with spectacular detail
fluttering in a gentle breeze
so delicate and frail

The warm sunshine, blue sky above....it must be the start of spring again....!
Spring is here again
The sun is smiling down on me
surrounded by the bright blue sky
for spring is here again I see
so come on out and don`t be shy
in the garden, birds are singing
and frogs croaking around the pond
in the distance church bell ringing
their sound drifts over from beyond
colourful bulbs are flowering here
as it brings a joy to your heart
spring season`s a great time of year
lets paint flowers with some bright art
so as we welcome spring again
we know summer`s not far away
time to come out and entertain
enjoy the warmth this sunny day!

Empty Feelings
yet find yourself all alone
memories are all that`s left
now your children have flown
with the silence of the evening
only two cats for company
curled up in their usual chair
if only you could talk to somebody
with a tear running down the cheek
there`s sadness in the air tonight
for loneliness leads to depression
nothing ever feels quite right!
though it`s hard to feel happiness
when you`re alone at the end of the day
never give up on your family
they`re not really that far away!

Silence, tranquillity
reverence, humility
beauty is everywhere
for us all to share
colours and textures
fragrance and pictures
red, green and yellow
family, fun and meadow
blue, purple and cream
frogs by the stream
children`s activity
ball games and poetry
warm sun of our faces
as we rest in these places
laughter and smiles are sighted
as families are united
sharing their stories
creating new memories

Mothers are loving
full of big hugs
unconditional love
so strong yet gentle
unselfish and kind
bakes yummy cookies

Mothers are special
keeping us on the right path
picking us up when we`re down
wipe the tears away
Share with our happiness
Share with our happiness
and always there for us
love you so much
Happy Mothering Sunday

Mother and Daughter
A precious friendship
that spans a life time
filled with joy and laughter

entwined through strong love

African
Monarch Butterfly
The beauty of this majestic royal
perched amidst colorful hues
this regal insect rests awhile
all its surroundings to enthuse
clear crisp wings of striking orange
with patterned tips of black and white
and circling round the whole wings
such a beautifully romantic sight
long antenna to help smell and balance
while slender legs, fresh flowers to clutch
tasting their sweet nourishing nectar
this insect has a poisonous touch
a stunning black body with white spots
is really quite the final feature
for a butterfly that`s quite unique
this beautiful African creature

Mothering Sunday
Mothering Sunday is just around the corner
and a poem is a unique gift idea.
A Mother is an angel
sent from heaven above
to inspire us all to fly
with her passion and her love
to help us be a fraction
of the real person we can be
full of love, joy and laughter
cherishing our family

Mother
Such a beautiful scented seed
from which a family of flowers she`ll sow
for she offers an endless garden
where you can blossom. thrive and grow

Mother
Her hand is the first you`ll ever hold
and the one that`s always there for you
her love pouring out with every touch
for all her passion will remain true

My Mother
I don`t need a special day
to show I care for my mother
each and every day`s the best
for she`s not like any other
great cook and loves a cuddle
always ready to lend a hand
thank you to my lovely Mother
you`re the best in all the land

Ever kind, caring and full of love
Best Mother-In-Law you could have
Ever loved and sorely missed

Different forms of poetry
Poetry takes many different from rhyming prose to haikus and many more in between.I have enjoyed writing nonets, prose, haikus, shaped, embroidered, acoustic and even some in braille. There are many more for me to have a go at and I look forward to trying them out this year.
If you would like a poem written as a gift or for yourself, please feel free to message me and I`ll be happy to help.

Feline Friends
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
I am a servant to two wonderful cats!!

Sadly we lost Squeak 2 months ago. She was a huge part of our lives and will be very much missed.
She was quite a character and new how to get her way but she loved her cuddles too.
