Viv name verse

 











Viv


Vivacious siren from the east 
Inspiration drives all she does 
Valiant defender of her beliefs

(C) Lissie Bul 2021




Autumn

 








A season of change and mystery
Unique abundance of colour
Time to enjoy nature`s harvest
Unwind in autumns beauty
Mug of soothing pumpkin latte
Now let`s get ready for Halloween!

(C) Lissie Bull 2021

Winter

 



Winter`s white blanket muffles sound
Inspirational landscapes, mystical world
Numb fingers and noses, covered in layers
Trecking outside to build a snowman
Entranced by the silent snow flakes
Roaring fire, snuggled with a hot chocolate!

As Darkness Falls


As darkness takes over from day
this world will make it`s own light
flickering in different colours
brightening up another long night

yellows and reds reflected 
like fireflies trying to escape
creating a patchwork of patterns
throughout this urban landscape

My Special Place





My Special Place

my own special space
where I can relax
my quiet hideaway
from the world outside
my comfort zone
sweet scented and soft
somewhere to chill
recharge my emotions
still my beating heart
bringing peace to my soul.

Setting Sun over the beach

 I love the beach no matter what time of the day or season of the year for it`s my happy place!




Setting Sun over the Beach

Love to stroll along, instilling a calm feeling
as the sea ebbs and flows in the evening
the sky is reflected so strongly here
such deep rich colours that hold no fear
with the sky a flame from the setting sun
a spectrum of colours on the horizon
with a bright large ball of heat in the midst
does the join between sky and sea exist?
an obstacle looms there, what can it be?
dark wooden posts lead out into the sea
the break water that`s protecting this coast
but in this light each one looks like a ghost
as the sun descends and the moon light shines
high lighting waves that paint rippling lines
what treasure has the tide brought in tonight?
what will be found in this low evening light?
so as the darkness creeps across the sea
this`ll always be an awesome place to be.

Autumn into Winter



I love autumn, all the bright colours of the trees and fruit ripening for harvest time and
winter is just around the corner too!


Autumn into Winter

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..

Colours of Nature


Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter 
Nature is something we should never take for granted, so let`s respect and enjoy every part of it!!        



Colours of Nature!

Nature throws up many colours
to say this "green and pleasant land"
doesn't cover the whole picture
this awesome world is far from bland

each of the four seasons are different
their own striking colours and textures
from warm summer days to freezing winter
each full of its own distinctive mixtures

ooking at these bright colourful seasons
we see this nature in its full glory
rich oranges and reds of the woodlands
carpets of luscious bluebells, tell their story

the world awakes to a burst of spring
summer appears full of scent and bright hues
through autumn the colours change so fast
crisp winter whiteness under skies of blue

nature can throw a spanner in the works
producing some awesome colours to see
placing a new perceptive on what we know
so lets enjoy all of her wondrous beauty!

Blue Eyes

 











Blue Eyes

Its cold out there today
for autumn`s here to stay
wrapped up mits and scarf
watching the children laugh
trees have all changed colours
leaves on ground like flowers
there`s a pile over there                                       
leaves raked up in the square
there`s movement I can see
wonder what that could be
a pair of eyes stare out
I nearly gave a shout
is that a tail I spy
hiding all warm and dry
my little doggy friend
I`d better apprehend
before he wrecks the pile
though it would make me smile!
I love the autumn time
now I will end my rhyme!!

Sweet Aromas ( shaped poem)

   

 

Sweet Aromas        

      sweet     
                aroma     
   warm invite  
         from the cold
   frozen winter
cold hands           
fire roaring
         curled up snug  
cuddling my cup      
       of hot coffee
all topped with cream
with sprinkles, so tasty
nibbling  on  chocolate
in the warmth  of a fire
so shut out winter
wrapped up in a 
cosy blanket
with a crumbly cookie is
most welcome!

The Blacksmith

 


Blacksmithing is an amazing skill that`s been around for hundreds of year.
making hand forged items from steel with hammer on anvil heated by their forge!



The Blacksmith

Fire, steel, rivets and hammer
dust, noise, red hot metal
anvil, tongs and sheer power
the blacksmith has it all

forge fired up and ready
with tools all standing by
leather apron now in place
anticipation is high

arc of sparks from the grinder
flash across the workshop
powering on through the day
working hard until you drop

hammer clashes down on metal
an air of expectation
as slowly the piece is formed
stand back and see his creation

Love is ( shaped poem)

 






Love is                     patient
love is kind               and gentle
it does not boast        or hurt anyone
love is not proud or rude love is not self 
seeking or keeps records of wrong doings
it`s tender and caring building memories
 together. Love is not blind, but sees all 
 that is true. Love is an unconditional 
commitment.  Love is a decision,
strong feeling a judgement.
Love is  a  promise to
honour each other
so  for eternity
I know I will
always
love
U

Recipe for the Day

 





Recipe For The Day

start your day off with a cup of coffee
spoon in some happiness and love
add whipped cream of mystery
shake on chocolate from above

with this you should also have
a bowl of energy and fun
pour on the milk of strength and wit

to really finish of this treat
you`ll need some hot and crunchy toast
spread with some caring harmony
with this you`ll reach the winning post!!

The Guitarist


The Guitarist
A lovingly crafted guitar
six taut strings vibrating with sound
as fingers pluck out their rhythm

or dance over the frets
for music fills the whole room
a sense of well being is found
hands moving swiftly with each strum...
creating wondrous melodies
watching the pleasure of playing
feeling the music in your soul
from lovely lilting serenades
to lively jazz and rock and roll
if music is the food of love
then play on my dear musician

Autumn Colours

 

Autumn Colours

with vibrant splashes of colours
creeping across my garden
oranges, yellows and reds
nature is a wonderful warden

each leaf slowly changes its colour
as they take on a different hue
summer`s green, are disappearing
 soon winter will come into view

trees wear their autumn coats
with pride in the bright sunshine
each day brings subtle differences
Mother Nature`s looking so divine

Ride cancelled by Rain

 


Ride cancelled by Rain

Drenched through to the core
as water streams down
splashing over everything
cascading to the ground
roaring around the yard
as heavy droplets landed
stopping the journey dead
this ride cancelled by the rain

these bikes stand there alone
as the storm rages on
no chance of staying dry
for everything is drowned
this adventure has ceased
at least for this afternoon
just wait until tomorrow
and our journey will resume


 © Lissie Poems 2022


Raining


Raining!

As skies darken over head
with clouds rolling in 
there seems a heaviness
 you can feel it begin

these drops of rain are heavy
splashing upon the ground
forming patterns on the path
as they land all around

with skies so foreboding
the darkness felt like night
almost claustrophobic
wow, such an eerie sight

when the flood gates opened
torrential rain poured down
thundering on the roof tops
things appears to drown

through this heavy storm
it`s best to remain inside
until this down pours past
by the fire is where I`ll hide

Little lacy Leaf

 





Little Lacy Leaf

The ground is covered with debris
after the leaves have fallen down
for late autumn has descended
each mighty tree have lost their crown

foliage found thickly on the around
as the seasons, they can not stay
slowly losing their bright colours
constantly changing every day

decaying, disintegrating
taking on a new appearance
rotting, composting back to soil
before winter does the clearance

small patches of lace can be seen
among all the leaves on the ground
so beautiful and delicate
a little treasure that's been found.

Autumn Hog

  

Autumn Hog

snuggled amidst the colourful leaves
deep within a silent woodland
small hog slumber quietly
surrounded by nature
sleep well little one
warm and cosy
leaf littered
hedgehog
sleeps

Death of an Angel



I had this picture in my mind,  a dying woman, with broken wings draped over her body on a cold bleak night in the woods.
This is the result.  Hope you like it.



 Death of an Angel.

Dark winter bleakness
bitter cold through her bones
she lies there half dead
full of sorrow as she moans

her blood seeping slowly
all life draining away
no one to hear her cries
on that cold fateful day

death swept over this place
and took all that was good
eaving her heart frozen
in that foreboding wood

this broken winged angel
all her powers now gone
she`s left there to wither
just like a broken swan
