Jack and Jill

Jack and Jill went down the hill
to fetch some cider for father
they met Tom Thumb 
playing his drum
and decided to go no further !

Humpty Dumpty sat in a bench
reading his book about the big sea
he looked up with see
with so much glee
Jack, Jill and Tom as happy as can be

They all walked down together
as the sun was starting to set
it`d been a good day
in every way
they`ll remain best friends forever!

Heavenly Moon

This tiny speck of light
shining through the dark so bright
hovering up high in the sky
where angelic angels fly
this mysterious orb that I see
what, I wonder could it be
floating slowly on by .. blinking
smiling down on me and .. winking
it feels good to see it there
sparkling with so much flair
this sweet and heavenly sphere
that fills me with so much cheer
hope to see you again real soon
my heavenly bright shiny moon


On a clear night, it`s great to see the bright shiny orb we call the moon!

dark shadow beneath the waves
sinisterly swimming by
tentatively watched over by man
and overseen from heaven up high

Woodland

Dappled sunlight flickers through the branches
specks of dust and leaves floating in the breeze
a blanket of silence fills the forest air
broken only, as a startled deer flees.

the forest floor is carpeted in blue
as I slowly walk along the wooded way
birds and animals active all around me
never seen, but watching me as they play.

a set of wings fly silently passed me
as with elegance, the creature glides on
only the movement of air is left behind
before you know it, the spectacle is gone.

the sudden crack of a twig beneath my foot
sounds so loud amongst the woodland scene
it echoes around the many ancient trees
silence wrapping it up in forest green.

Long warm sunny days
brings out the best in nature
watching a playful squirrel
such an inquisitive creature

scampering up and down
the trunks of gnarled trees
twitching his fluffy tail
 cheeky chap,  such a tease

Troubled Waters

 If only I had known
how low you felt
if I had opened my eyes
and seen your sorrow
was there something 
I could of done to save you
these troubled waters
drowning you in darkness
slowly suffocating
our relationship
how can I save us?

Sir Knight

This fine figure of a  knight
standing tall in all his glory
chivalrous in all his beliefs
his life, a magnificent story

decked in bright shiny armour
really to ride out for his lord
defend against all intruders
bearing his lance and sword

but this knight is special one
he`s a fighter and a diplomat
with bright eyes and whiskers
for this proud knight is a cat!

A joyous heart
is something to behold
to have known love
 being wrapped 
in loving arms
feeding off your strength
a bonus
not to be missed!

Hide-a-way


Hide-a-way

There`s a kitten shaped hole in my wall
two small cosy circles side by side
just the right size and shape for a snooze
some where to snuggle up in and hide

nestled with this spot, a kitten sleeps
body touching the back of the hole
as its paws over lap the edges
tugs at my heart watching this cute soul

the sun shines brightly across the wall
though kitten is sheltered in the shade
four white feet bobbing in the sun shine
it`s all tired our after kitten`s played

with this kitten hideout, purpose built
for a creature that so needs to sleep
laid hidden from every ones view
sleeps soundly but can always peep!


Kittens and cats sleep where they feel safe and comfy......

Nature`s Music

Lyrical notes
dancing through the flowers
skipping over green grass
in and out of sunshine
filling the garden with sound

 Mother Nature`s Anger

As this storm starts to take hold
the sea begins to rise with rage
as the skies get darker now
Mother Earth takes centre stage

with the howling of these winds
and crashing seas across the rails
white crested waves coursing havoc
leaving such disruptive trails

people blown as they go their way
with this wind no one can stand
gushing over the sea front
where the ocean meets the land

with waves as high as houses
pounding everything in sight
thunderous sounds to be heard
storm continues through the night

for all that we knew before
we will never know again
the sheer destructive nature
nothing from this storm will remain

waters flooding everywhere
hard to tell where the sea ends
whether this will subside soon
on Mother Nature that depends

I wrote this poem while sat in the lobby of The Gilmore in Memphis.  
My friend had talked about rainbows and that it would be a great subject to write a poem on.. it was so cool and peaceful sat there and I enjoyed the chance to write.


Rainbows

Kaleidoscope of many colours
stretching right across the sky
forever painted in our minds
here one moment, then vanished.....why?

red and orange start the pattern
so rich and strong for all to see
wonderful yellow follows next
echoing the sun so perfectly

green and blue, the colours of the earth
orbiting the bright hues of the sun
reminding me of the river of life
showing us that rainbows are fun

indigo and violet follow next
colours of peace and relaxation
complete this wonderful view
filling our hearts with elation

all seven colours hung on display
such a beautiful painting to see
vibrant colours of the rainbow
arched across the sky for you and me.

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 !

 Gateway to the next world


the palpitating murmurs of the dying
are heard echoing throughout this dense wood
along with deep moans of those between worlds
haunting me....memories.. no one understood

death is but a gateway into the next world
a path that has to be taken by all
whether we travel along it willingly
our dying whispers must answer the call.

a cold sensation runs along my spine
leaves me shuddering with sheer emotion
feeling someone has walked across me grave
though dry here, I'm drowning in an ocean

these woods hold horrific memories
from that harrowing eventful day
standing here I bid farewell to your ghost
as I watch you pass on through the gateway


the gate way between worlds is a narrow one.....

 Today its 14 years since my world was turned upside down and  I loss my loving husband Steve, to cancer. 

Love and miss you Steve xXx


Steve

my angel, my love, my soulmate
our journey together was perfect
accomplished so much as a couple
but sadly there was a different fate

my love, my soulmate, my angel
 son, brother, husband and father
creating special moments to treasure
with our three sons and a daughter

my soulmate, my angel, my love
your departing has left many memories
that I can hold on to for years to come
sharing your deeds through your stories

Steve, my soulmate, my love, my angel
in life and death, you`re ever with me
always loved and very much missed
rest in peace my beloved angel hubby

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

to fill my heart with all that`s great
I love all my memories

A Puppy`s Life

Little puppy so inquisitive
such a need for me to explore
what`s in there and can I chew
 will you play with me some more

 I`m small cute and lovable
with floppy ears and bright eyes
big soft paws and black wet nose
a bundle of fun for my size

this world is such a big place
there`s so much for me to see
and though my legs are so short
I`ll not let it bother me

cuddles are what I love so much
and a tickle on my tummy
a treat or two, I`ll not say no!
for they are also yummy

my life is full of love and joy
it`s great fun being a puppy
so after an exciting day
I sleep well knowing I`m lucky !
