The treasure Hunt

We`re going on a treasure hunt
There`s excitement in the air
What wonders will we find today
Let`s go searching with some flair

Stalking around the car boot sales
Hunting for an elusive bargain
Rummaging through all the stalls
Bamboozled by the jargon

The thrill of the hunt is on
Items seen, the haggling begins
To and fro the banter goes
In the end the hunter wins!

Love going to car boot sales and they are such great fun, it feels like a treasure hunt too!!

Joy

Eyes opened wide with wonder

Surprise and joy in the air

Anticipation of what might be

Wonderment now laid bare!

Little things in life that matter

A cuddle, smile or a gesture

It doesn`t have to be that much

As long as it gives pleasure!

Just a little ditty about joy, that came to me after watching

a small child`s wonder and joy from receiving a little bit of attention

The BBQ Party

Planning
   Inviting
      Shopping `til we drop

Cooking
   Preparing
      Laughter all the way

Music
   And dancing
      Up the garden path

Sunshine
   Hungry kids
      Playing lots of games

Heat up
   Table laid
      Everything is ready

Food here
   Guests arrive
      Now it`s time to eat

All done
   Empty plates
      Now we can relax

Later on
   Walk the dog
      Playing on the swings

Great time
   Laughter heard
      Adults can have fun!!

Back home
   Tired kids
      Time to quiet down

Oh no
   Not a chance
      Here we go again!!

Many years ago my friends and I, along with all our kids, would have parties, bbqs and lots of fun.
We would have a bbq in the garden, then take the dog out and play in the park.
It was great fun, but the kids always said adults couldn`t have fun like they did, ( on the swings or down the slide) Well we did and it was great fun too!!

Karma

Bad karma returns to bite you
Whether for good or bad
You will never know when it will strike
Don`t wait around and be sad

Get up and repair any bad actions
Greet everyone with a bright smile
For all that has been, has gone
Jump, laugh and be happy awhile

Good karma shines through you
Like rays spreading out to everyone
Brightening up the lives of all
So enjoy life, go on have some fun!

Karma was a subject brought up while I was enjoying a latte. It got me thinking and I jotted down a few odd words. As a result of that, this poem was formed. Not sure if its quite finished yet lol !

Storm of the Heart

The rain is beating on my window pane
beating out the sad tune in my head
for nothing can be said or done
can not change this feeling of dread

drops of rain running down my window
like the stream of tear I`m crying now
wondering what`s really happening to me
to end this storm, please tell me how

darkened skies like the blackness I feel
gives a sensation of decaying
going rotten from deep within me
I`m left here bewildered and praying

can this pain subside start to heal?
will the rot cease to eat away my heart?
just like the storm, only time will tell
as it rumbles on tearing the sky apart

Troubled times and stormy weather have the feeling they go together, ooops that sounds like the start of another poem !!, Some times a storm clears more than tension in the atmosphere this poem was one of those times.

Needing your support

Through the mists of all this pain

I feel your presence with me

Standing tall by my side

Preventing me from falling

The gentle words you whisper

Comfort my aching heart

I feel so weak from all this

Wishing you were still here with me

Why did the angels come and take you?

You were my tower of strength

Now I am just a pile of rubble

Guide me as I start to rebuild

A new life for my family

To stand tall and be proud again

Knowing that you will be there

Always in my mind, soul and heart.

Thinking of my husband as I struggle through a few rough patches

in life, I know he will always be there by my side

Playful Pup

Don`t play with your food dear
don`t throw it up in the air
I know you need to learn to cope
but please do it all with care

it strengthens your awareness
it helps you keen your sight
but if you`re going to do it
then make sure you do it right

you young pups are so eager
to show off how you would kill
these snow-burrowing rodents
watching you is such a thrill!!

This poems was inspired by a photo of an Arctic Fox pup
in the National Geographical Magazine

Summer Days

Sunshine and blue skies

Laughter and big smiles

Ice cream, sticky fingers

A memory that lingers

Bright coloured fabrics

And some cheery lyrics

Face paints and balloons

On lazy afternoons

With ice lollies dripping

Let`s go skinny dipping

Chilling out in many ways

Enjoying those summer days!

July is usually the start of summer holidays,

lazy days and just hanging around days. having fun and staying cool!!
