Peace

Silence is silver
peace mirrored
feeling content

(c) Lissie's Poems 2025

With colours bold and bright
flag flying high for all to see
recognising all diversity

be proud
be strong
be yourself

life, healing, sunshine
rights we should all make note
sharing who we really are

be kind
be happy
be free

never be afraid to be you
bloom in your sexuality
follow your destiny

be bold 
be sassy
be colourful

honour colour, creed, 
nothing can dampen your joy
life your life to the full

go forward
be who you are
live life to the full!

There are a few Foxes roaming around our gardens at night.  Over time I had some gifts left by them.  Up the end of my garden I have found, torn clothing -  shorts, a t-shirt, underwear, a chewed  trainer and a sandle. Also balls and  even a toy car! 

These Foxes bring their families and make such a lot of noise with their screams and yaps too but they are comical characters too!





Mischievous Foxes

In the dead of night, I hear them
playing and chasing each other
screaming and yapping in the dark
youngsters watched by the mother

they've brought along a few items
collected while frolicking around
plastic pots, an odd sock or torn shorts
all left abandoned on the ground!

mischief over, now time to move on
so with a ruckus they're on their way 
this family's ready to take a nap
playtime 's over, soon be a new day

18 Years on 

Each day I give thanks that I knew you
I loved you with all my heart and soul
sweet memories of our time together
you`ve left such a gigantic hole

your cheeky laugh always brought a smile
and sheer zest for things you loved in life
family time was important to you
and a great honour to be your wife

our journey took a terrible turn
cancer came a knocking at our gate
followed quickly by angels with wings
missing you Steve,  my love and soulmate

though you aren`t physically here with me
you`ll always walk with me,  by my side
so, as we remember you on this day
I`m filled with memories and great pride

Watching..

There was an event taking place here
but my attention was drawn to this pair
young man and his dog watched mesmerised
as intrigue and wonder filled the air

perched silently on the top of some steps
they are both wrapped up in the mystery
companionship and loyalty so strong
for would this event go down in history ...

don't look round, it may give it away!

Happy Pelican

a comical character is this pelican
 with an open mouth, he gives a shriek
 frolicking happily over the waves
enjoying the sunshine across his beak

such an amazing bird is this fella
with his unique personality
playful, funny with a cheery grin
never one for sheer normality

Pixie Pink

small bright velvet pink petals
shimmering in the afternoon sun
bobbing about in a gentle breeze
like cheeky pixies having fun

proudly growing by a brick wall
amongst the fronds of green fern 
attracting many bumble bees
as they visit every flower in turn

 scent floats on the gentle breeze
as the sunshine warms the air
nature is full of wondrous magic
as each flower smiles with flair

 Swan


a
sleek
elegant swan       
    with a      
long
 long
  neck
seen
afar
across
                            the  lake                    gliding
                          gently  over the  surface 
                            while  orange feet paddle
                             like  pistons, out of sight
                             lord of the waterways
                      a stunning creature, great joy 
                 to see, they pair for life, loyal and regal 
               for all to watch!

Garden Music

Gentle lyrical notes
dancing through the flowers
skipping over green grass
in and out of sunshine
filling my garden with sound

Old Soldier            

the pounding of my heart, deep within my chest
wow I`m still alive, and know that I`ve been blessed
had a difficult time, been through the wars
tough decisions to make,  had to settle some scores
seen some horrific things, more than I would want
nightmares run through my head, they will always haunt
looked death in the face, but I stand before you now
many wounds need healing, not sure how
all I want is some down time and to chill
for where there`s a way, there`s always a will
reached the end of the line, no more to roam
this old soldier`s signing off, time to go home!!

Sunshine in a Flower

flash of orange seen in sunlight
large soft petals hides its heart
pinned together with a green cap
nature paints amazing art

these bright and cheerful flowers
symbolizes adoration and loyalty
bringing life to bees and birds
 and a splash of joy and longevity
