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!

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!

(C) Lissie Bull 2021

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

Recipe For The Day

start your day off with a cup of coffee

spoon in some happiness and love

add whipped cream of mystery

to really finish of this treat

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

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
