Alphabetical verses are great fun to do,  I enjoyed playing around with words.

Why not give it ago.

Alcohol builds courage, dispelling everyday fears. Gin helps increase jittery kids loudly making nuisances of people`s quirkiness. Rum sends teachers upstairs very whimsically x-rating yonder zone!

This photo was from Orkney Uncovered and the poem uses the comments on this beautiful Highland Moo.  Written just for fun.

Highland Moo

She stands tall and very proud

a look of "you're next" on her face

aware of all thats around her

such a beautiful rustic  place

just want to give her a cuddle

 a  fine beast of a cow that she be

watching from under her fringe

wondering what she can really see

barbed wire has become comfy wire

perfectly shaped in her winter coat

she`s put up highland decorations

this clever moo can seriously gloat

 Knock on my door if you dare!

                              Hi!                                        

see

this beautiful

big round  orange  beast 

carefully carved with a toothy grin

lit up brightly with a candle from it`s 

hollowed out insides, lighting up ways to 

scare people with Trick or Treat encounters. 

 Ghosts, Ghouls, Witches and spooky creatures

travelling from house to house,  to scare you

and others on this dark Halloween evening

Come  and knock on our door it you dare

what lies in wait to terrify you on this

spooky scary creepy night!

New Christmas shaped Verses for 2024

Tree Bauble

*****
*          *

 Nesting 

amongst

the shiny needles
of the Christmas tree
caught in twinkling lights
bright coloured baubles hang
reflecting a world upsidedown 
     on the shiny smooth curved orbs      
     along with stars, candles, ribbons      
and long strands of sparkly tinsel 
shimmering through  everything
they all decorate our lovely tree 
these baubles  old memories 
revisited each festive season 
so enjoy these bright orbs
as they decorate the
Christmas tree

Autumn is a beautiful time of the year, filled with fiery colours as trees parade in their seasonal coats. Enjoy the colours, share in the harvest and prepare for winter with a full heart.

Hello Autumn

Autumn arrives in a blaze of colours

nights get colder and days get shorter

crispiness felt under foot in the morning

welcomes in the year`s fourth quarter

trees put on their multi colours coats

bright red, orange and yellow attire

dancing merrily in the afternoon breeze
swirling, twirling higher and higher

walking through this golden landscape
in autumn colours cocoon of silence
a feeling of warm flows over the soul
even after summer season`s absence 

to be amongst these gorgeous colours
run through leaves in boots for no reason
laugh, smile and enjoy every moment
come, say "hello" to this colourful season

Jack O`Lantern

round face, orange face

staring out for me

carved face,  lit face

shining out at me

gruesome smile, cheeky eyes

candles lit I see

scary face, pumpkin head

My Jack O`Lantern be!

Met a scary witch!

I met a scary witch today

marching through the town

she wore stripy stockings

a crooked nose and a frown

she carried an old book of spells

along with a scrawny cat

a broomstick in her hand

and wearing her black pointed hat !

 Lovely little name poem to welcome little Betty 

Betty

Beautiful bright blue eyes

Endearing gurgles and smiles

Tiny fingers and petit toes

Tender memories to create

You fill our hearts with love and joy

Witches 

Wonderful world of witchcraft

Incantations and spells
Toad`s poison and spider's webs
Cauldron brewing on the open fire
Haunting cackles can be heard
Ever ready to cast their spells
Spooky Halloween is here

Thought I would share this poem I wrote ten years ago.  I love walking though misty mornings, hearing different sounds before to I spy what made them.  The landscape comeing into view as I walk along. 

Hope you like this one

Through Misty Woods

When everything

just gets to me

there's this place

I escape to

along the path

through misty woods

Tall trees stand there

disappearing

into the mists

leading to peace

my haven there

through misty woods

Shadows abound

mysteries here

somewhere to hide

no one would know

here I can walk

through misty woods

These mossy trees

standing in line

leading me on

along the track

to my escape

through misty woods

As autumn arrives

trees dress in their finest coats

full of bright colours

they don`t need to compete

with each other

they just dance in the breeze

and enjoy autumn`s parade

Paw 

Deep with my dreams

a paw reaches in

drawing me into the day

determined purrs heard

I slowly open my eyes

in a dreamy sort of way

nuzzling wet nose

pushes into my face

someone wants to play

hello sweet kitty

it`s times to get up

let have some fun today

Nature`s Mysteries

Nature is extraordinary 

full of textures and colours

magical rainbow stone walls

shrouded in mists of intrigue

 surprises around each corner

taking your breathe away

this dark circular cavity

seen partway up a blue cliff

door way to a mysterious world

calling out to be explored

a journey to the unknown

is this real or an illusion?

Tasty Treat Time

Sat in the morning sunshine

beautiful bushy fluffed tail

held high with confidence

relaxing by a sturdy trunk

nibbling on his tasty nut

among the autumn leaves

not bothered by distractions

letting the world pass by

this squirrel enjoys his treat
