Mums, like buttons, bonding us together

always up first to start each day

listening to our woes

her special hugs

Butterflies are like silent fluttering rainbows, brightening up our world!

Butterflies

Paper wings fluttering on the wind

bright colours flashing through the light

many shimmering tones in the sun

warming up together, before flight

silently assembling in great hoards

drawing strength as one in the day

reds, whites, purples and pale blues

catching attention in a big way.

while flitting from flower to flower

tasting that wonderful nectar there

these majestic creatures feed

using their long tongues with flair

wonderful insects for all to see

filling our lives with great pleasure

bright beautiful butterflies

they are here for us to treasure.

Cinder`s Life

life`s a twisted Cinderella story

where the youngsters laze around

doing just whatever they please

stamping Cinders into the ground!

on the net all day, hiking up the bill

always leaving on the house lights

Cinders is left to clean up again

on the go from dawn to midnight

everyone should be respectful

curb their excesses and be fair

not take people for what they want

this was more that Cinders could bare

things had to change around here

poor young Cinders had had enough

this was the 21st Century

she`d hatch a plan and call their bluff

she organised a farewell party

 as her sisters were going on holiday

so they invited all the friends round

and everyone had an awesome day

when the taxi drew up to the house

everybody crowded all around

as they drove away, cheers were heard

and Cinders smiled but made no sound

for where her sisters were going

it certainly wouldn`t be much fun

they were destined for finishing school

now young Cinders would be number one!

no one to yell at her or boss her about

she could get on with music and art

peace now reigned throughout the house

for now Cinders could follow her heart

Lost Loved Ones.

When someone we love passes on,
many precious memories come to mind
so we are able to celebrate their life
and all the contributions they made
with all the joy they brought to us
this helps to comfort the ones left behind
thinking about all the wonderful people
I have lost over the past few year.

Love and miss them always xXx
Lissie poems 2023

 

memories can be hard to overcome
the pain and sorrow are too much
a broken heart takes time to mend
as angel feathers leave a tender touch

Snoozing Bear

Even a giant beast loves to snooze

with the warmth of the sun on his fur

curled up comfy by the roots of a tree

dreams of fun, there`s no need to stir

leaves for comfort, branch for a pillow

ears pricked to hear any tiny sound

he may be snoozing, but he`s no fool

so in tune with everything around

watch this handsome bear relax, but

keep your distance and let him sleep

breathing deeply, he appears at easy

but come to close and he will leap

   Mothering Sunday is just around the corner 

and a poem is a unique gift idea.

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 unlike 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

(C) Lissie Poems 2023

Mother

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

(C) Lissies Poems 2023

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

Lighthouse

A

tall

bright

look out

over the sea

brightness

pulsating

a light out

protecting

shining out to sea

saving sailors lives

treacherous  rocks

standing proud on 

hilltops high above

these raging tempests

hazardous down below

shipwrecks and lost men

lonely times for the keepers

always tending to the life saving

beam of light showing the way to

a safe harbour to rest for the night

long may this lighthouse`s  light shine

bright across the ocean, keeping sailors

and their vessels safe each and every night

By the fire

Listen to the crackle of the fire

as the flames dance in the hearth

many bright colours shimmering 

filling the room with a warm glow

stretched out toasting her fur

one relaxed cat sleeping contently

a hot frothy chocolate drink

steaming on the table beside me

filling the room with a wonderful aroma

helping me to unwind on the sofa

allowing the cat and myself to enjoy

a perfect autumn evening

Life can be so frantic, so it feels good to slow down and enjoy the beauty of nature. Seeing all the Mother Nature has to offer us cal be relaxing, meditative and helps us to see everything around us in a new way.

Beauty of Nature

Red poppies in summer breeze

bluebells carpeting the ground

yellow and orange autumn leaves

white snow muffling every sound

cool clear lakes surrounded by trees

bright speckled meadows sway in the air

rough rocky mountains reach for the sky

barrow dunes carrying hope on a prayer

through depths of the mighty oceans

dark, unexplored, far from our reaches

crashing around rugged coastlands 

or touching long sandy beaches

so much awesome beauty of nature

sharing great diversity to all

our wondrous planet is so unique

from the mighty to the minuscule 

(C) Lissies Poems  2023

Ink, blood, words and protective thorns,  they are all linked in a powerful image for me.

Words and thorns

There`s such power to be found in words

love and affection felt with tenderness

experienced through the ink from the pen

raw emotions in nature`s harsh wilderness

this blood filled pen, pierces like the sharp thorn

that staunchly protects the fragrant red rose

warning off unsuitable pursuers

a moment in time, blood and thorn now shows

dripping with the sheer desire to survive

each word oozes with a need to be read

spoken with passion and authority

not to linger in an old book `til dead

likewise the rose`s need to remain untouched

to grow tall with elegance and beauty

therefore these fearfully sharp thorns comply

protecting these flowers, are their duty

the enriched wonder of the word and thorn

sealed with thick ink, are entwined together

for the realization of their existence

their power will remain with us for ever

(c) Lissies Poems 2023

 

Valentine`s Day

February is the month for love

celebrating Valentine`s Day

tender moments and a kiss

sweet roses, chocolates

romantic rendezvous

countryside walks

hand in hand

in love

💘

(C) Lissies Poems 2023

Memories are very important, don`t ever want to lose them.

Box of Memories

My little box of memories

contains a life time of thoughts

mostly there are good ones

but some tied me up in knots.....

these mementos are personal

for they mean so much to me

photos, tickets and clippings

all locked up with a little key

birthday greetings from my parents

and my first valentine`s card

to pictures painted by my kids

parting with them would be too hard

all these memories, I want to keep

protecting them now, that`s my aim

so I will lock them safely away

for losing them would be such a shame !
