Mauschen a 43 year old shaggy Asian bear and Muschi a stray black cat had a unlikely 10 friendship in Berlin Zoo

Pussy Cat visits the Zoo

Pussy cat pussy cat

          what did you do

I got on the bus

          to visit the zoo

Pussy cat pussy cat

          what did you there

looked at the animals

           smiled at a bear

Pussy cat pussy cat

            who did you see

long necked giraffes 

             and a chimpanzee

Pussy cat pussy cat

eat up you snack

enjoy your memories

it`s time to go back

Mauschen and Mushi, best friends

          

I was asked to write a shaped verse for a lovely little girl who loves her ginger cat very much. 

he sleeps a lot and purrs all the time.  She knew exactly what she wanted and then added her own details of whiskers and collar.   I really enjoyed this experience. 

Sleepy Cat

Me    ow

I can see you

little purring 

pussy cat, curled 

up on my lap

ears pricked 

and tail swishing

ready to pounce at

 a moments notice 

sleep on little one

 sweet dreams

                             purring

                                               softly

                                       on

 

 

Time on my Hand

 

From dawn to dusk

hands continually rotate

counting out the minutes
of each and every day
ticking away my life
as the sun passes over
followed by the moon
day in day out eternally
twelve numbers showing
seconds slowly passing
from time on my hand.

 Sun Speckled Madonna

Sun light filters through

creating patterns

so illuminating

like fine crafted lace

with bright blue eyes

watching every thing

protected from the heat

not taking any chances

shining lips so red

as the sun flickers by

they beam with a smile

while hiding under cover

skin so smooth and pale

hiding from this heat

dappled with white lace

my star splashed Madonna

Poetry

Poetry is spoken from the soul

not caged or hidden out of sight

painting pictures from the heart

uniquely lyrical 
soaring on the breeze
the soul expressed
heart felt words

precious

Life's a Beach

Sunshine, sand and surf

happy memories of childhood holidays

flip flops slapping across the plateau 

warmth of summer sun on skin

time to relax, life's a beach.....enjoy!

Tokyo

Tokyo is the largest city in the world, vibrant and full of culture

One vending machine for approximately every 23 people

Known formally as Edo which translated as 'bay entrance'

Young generation love the Robot Hotels and Restaurants

On a clear day Mount Fuji is such a amazing sight to view

Dorset

Dorset is a beautiful and peaceful county with no motorways

Outstanding Jurassic Coast was first on the UNESCO World Heritage list

Rabbits are considered unlucky as thought to have caused landslides in mines

Super hot chilly "Dorset Naga" rated at 1.5 million Scoville Heat Units

England`s bendiest road is Zig Zag Hill, beware drivers!

Television`s iconic Hovis advert was filmed on Gold Hill in Shaftsbury

Enjoyed testing my writing with this little quote challenge.

Pompous people place themselves unnecessarily on posh plinths of their own making to show off.

Red Coated Gent

With your red spotted coat

and black head dress

you scamper about

amongst the foliage

scurrying around

on fast little legs

along the flower stems

and across green leaves

a sign of summer

such an awesome sight

to see you balancing

across tiny white buds

light as a feather

then in an instant

you fly up and away

suddenly you`re gone

Looking at old school photos and remembering yesteryear summers.

 Summer Memories

Sparkling glitter and fluffy feathers

a swish of breeze in sunny weathers

song birds singing from branches up high

blue skies, bright sun, oh for a gentle sigh

strawberries and cream served up with lemonade

sat on a picnic blanket in the shade

children running, laughing all around

playing hide and seek until they`re found

shapes in the clouds or making daisy chains

watching the trails made by aeroplanes

these are the memories I hold so dear

wonderful summer times from yesteryear!

 Mystic Stone Circle

tall solid majestic stones

standing dark against the sky

silent lonely cold and ancient

revealing history to the eye

these old columns of stones

full of intrigue and wonder

rituals performed through years

are now left here to plunder

with these lonely textured stones

have changed through the seasons

eerie, old and formidable

using this place for good reasons

winter or summer equinox

watching the sun light up the morn

holy men performing their rituals

head dresses and icons adorn

sun rays stream across the stones

thus creating long dark shadows

through these tall majestic stones

surrounded with by green meadows

nowadays these weather worn stones

that have stood the test of many years

lay slightly discarded through decay

yet always inspire, and can stir the tears.

Painting pictures with words from my heart

colouring them with emotions 

images found in my nightly dreams

setting me adrift on life`s oceans

Salisbury

Salisbury is a timeless, traditional, vibrant city, a hidden gem to explore

Amazingly over 200 independent shops can be found, a unique shopping experience

Long established Charter market and annual fair granted by King Henry III in 1217

Incredibly, it was relocated from "Old Sarum"  to it`s present spot over 8oo yrs ago

Spire of the Cathedral stands 404 ft high and leans approximately 27 inches

Best preserved "Magna Carta" is found in the Cathedral`s Chapter House

Unique and oldest working mechanical clock that`s ticked over 4.4 billion times

Revel in the city`s vibrant art and culture scene, along with music and plays

Year round excitement from festival, history surround by beautiful countryside.

York

York is full of quirky names such as 

      "Whip Ma Whop Ma Gate"  it`s meaning lost in time

Oddly, roads in York are called gates 

      and hark back to the Viking era, where gata meant road

Roman settlement called Eboracum 

      founded in 71AD, who ruled the region for 400 years

Known as the City of York, it`s not part of the county

      of North Yorkshire, though it lies within its boundaries
