A Grey World

This grey on grey world around me
All colour has been extracted
Giving weird sensations to see
Objects crisper, nothing distracted

Grey skies intermittent with clouds
Hang over a greyish landscape
Every thing`s still there in detail
Crystal clear in every shape

Even though devoid of colour
There are different greys to behold
Warmth is still felt here through the streets
As the sun`s rays heat up the cold

Grey curtains hang in grey windows
Dark grey shadows hide in places
Black car parked by grey cobble stones
As children play with smiling faces

Music is heard from a distance
A steady beat is felt throughout
Colour doesn't change anything
Love life, that`s what it`s all about


Black, white or grey, they are only colours, what matters is how we live our lives.....

Winged Archangels

Winged archangels
Sent from heaven
Floating throughout our world
Awesome white wings
Outstretched,
Offering protection
Spreading their love
A messenger from God
Uplifting our hearts
When they`re around
Soft pale skin
Glowing in the sun
Speaking to our souls
Heart felt love
Surrounding us always
A swish of silk fabric
And a golden halo!
They`re on the wind
In the low mists
Deep in the oceans
Among the forests
Believe in archangels
As they`re everywhere
Among us, within us
Above and beyond
Never doubt them
They feed our souls
Protecting, guiding
Loving us all
Winged archangels


I find pictures inspire me and this poem is no exception......

Expanding Workshop

You have your workshop Jon
Your forge, hammer and anvil
Large doors and concrete floors
So why my house as well?

Large pieces of wood appear
Paste and laminate spray
Old pillar drill and other things
All seem to find their way

My car has carried so much
From forge to fly press
Thought that was all ended
When you set up your business

How wrong was I to be
Seems there`s an understanding
Was thought but never voiced
Workshop was expanding

Some how we all manage
To squeeze it all inside
Step over or stack it up
We take it in our stride

Here`s hoping you will soon find
A larger working place
To relieve this bulging home
Then we`ll regain our space !


Just saying...Jon!!

The colours of our world

Blacks spin and mix, creating new colours
Blues and greys add a new dimension too
Swirling together merging with such power
Many dark greens can join with the blue

With the colour wheel that keep on turning
Mixing new colours can be a lot of fun
Reds are added to create some new hues
Not forgetting yellows. colours of the sun

Swirls of colours creating new colours
Violets, pinks leading to new creations
All these great hues are exciting to see
Like watching oils making revelations

Splashes of magenta and then turquoise too
These awesome colours help you to feel good
Painting our world in vibrant mixtures
With rainbows and sunsets, just as you should

Our world is a wonderful place to be
The different seasons with their many hues
A kaleidoscope of many colours
Air, sea and earth, this planet and it`s jewels.......


We are so lucky to have such a wonderfully colourful world around us....

Life`s paths

Circles of life spinning around
From birth to death, it`s there to be found

Whizzing about, darting here and there
Dashing high or low, but please take care

Remember there`s a goal for everyone
But hard to know what`s to be done

Finding the path that you should follow
Over the mountains or through the hollow

Can`t choose your family I know that`s true
Be wise with  friends they`ll look after you

Your path in life is not carved in stone
Its all up to you to set the tone

Your route through life can not be seen
Only part visible, is where you`ve been

It can be very challenging to find your path in life, but great to know it`s your choice to make....

Cats Eyes

Darkness all around
Shadows, black on black
Silence here, no sound
Blind to an attack

Feel claustrophobic
Nothing there to see
Blackness everywhere
Closing in on me

Feeling insecure
Need to see some light
My torch I secure
What comes into sight?

Two bright orbs staring
They`re all I can see
Bright cats eyes flaring
Flashing there at me


Cats eyes bright eyes, just love the way they light up!

Exploring mysteries 

Though the entrance was small and dark
What lay within was full of mystery
At first it all looked dank and stark
But it`s really full of history

Over the threshold then down below
To explore the wonders we`ll find
As the slant of the sun will show
These treasures left by past mankind

Standing there in total wonderment
As we spin there slowly around
Our hearts beating with excitement
For all the relics that we've found

Through the slant of bright sun light
Colours reflected in the pool
Feeling humbled by such a sight
This quiet tranquil cave so cool

But the best thing that I can see
Is the sheer beauty of this place
The colours reflecting eerily
Giving the illusion of space

Sheer awe of this forgotten cave
This huge cathedral of beauty
Silence through it`s majestic nave
Treating this in reverent duty

So here let us take a moment
To think of all that`s gone before
It`s destruction we must prevent
And this protect it evermore.


Mysterious cave hold treasures from our past!

The Stormy Journey

Setting off in trepidation
We make our way down the street
All warm and dry in our vehicle
This isn't going to be a treat

Buffeted by this torrent
Winds are howling all around
We`re all cocooned in our car
Splashed through puddles on the ground

Surface water across the road
Reflected in other head lights
Wipers going on full power
Making it hard to see the sights

As we travel on our way
From city roads to countryside
The weather is getting worse
Ending up in a flood tide

With fields all under water
Splashing along the highway
Thus reaching our destination
What pure horrors that end this day!



Rain, winds, floods and blaring lights......not a pleasant journey!
