Standing

All alone

Proudly in the garden

Coal for eyes

Carrot for a nose

Pipe in his mouth

Smiling happily
All watchful
In a white landscape

Red scarf around his neck

Black buttons down his front

Twigs sticking out for the arms

Looking so smart standing here

Amongst all this wintry scenery 

Watching out for Father Christmas

As he brings all his bright presents

To the festive season celebrations

For our winter wonderland guard
Standing there in our garden
Merry Christmas everyone!

Wintry Forests

A soft patter of snow as it falls
gently floating down from on high
silently covering all of nature
a pleasing sight to the naked eye

All through the ancient forest the snow
settling everywhere on the ground
but under the great boughs all is bare
no creature is heard, there`s no sound

High up in the fir tree canopy
through the light snow flakes descending there
each little pine needle is covered
wrapped up snugly from the cold air.

As the landscape sleeps under the snow
all protected from the wind and cold
winter amongst these wonderful trees
is such an awesome sight to behold



Winter time, though bleak and cold, is still a wonderful season, creating awesome scenery for all to enjoy.

I don`t bite..really!

I`m not a bad ogre
just a harassed person
I won`t roar or bite
if you`d come talk to me

I`m only human you know
just like you are ....see
there`s a soft side to me
you just need to come and ask

no need to be afraid
I`m not a dinosaur
only a cuddly mother
that wants to love you too

life hasn't been easy
is I`m sure for you as well
but we have a common link
that's reason enough to try

I`m sure that he knows
we want to all get on
but its hard to share a son
with his new girlfriend

life is sour enough
so we must do our best
learn to live together
if we are to get along

so come and talk to me
never hide away
want you to feel comfortable
come on, we can really do this

Feelings from afar

lost souls sighing in the tide
waves splashing over the beach
a sadness is felt in the air
paradise is just out of reach

each grain of golden sand
has it`s own story to tell
images from far off places
that capture many a spell

distant calls heard on the breeze
carried voices from the past
wafting through the light blue skies
memories that will always last

sounds that merge in the mind
murmurs heard within the soul
filling the air with mysteries
unlocking senses as a whole

Ladybirds

These sweet red bugs

with rounded bellies

in spotted red coats

scurrying over leaves

on warm sunny days

so it must be summer

A special gift

A most wonderful gift

for that special someone

is both meaningful and

appreciated in return

a tender moment

that`s held so dear

or a precious memory

never wanting to forget

protected from all harm

treasured within the soul

securely locked tight

inside each others hearts

Christmas Gift Ideas

It`s wonderful to have a framed photo on your all,
but I was thinking of taking that a step further.
How about not just the photo but a poem printed over the top of it,
connecting the picture with an event.
Maybe a photo of a pet, or a loved one could be used.
A unique image through words and pictures.

With this in mind, I have a selection on my Facebook page
that you are welcome visit.
Please "like" and leave a comment,  thank you

Lost Love.....stolen away...

Our love may have been stormy
but you're always on my mind
memories of our first holiday
are always there for me to find

We clicked together from the start
knew what the other was thinking
wanted to remain safe in your arms
happy in our love so unblinking

What happened to change all this
is a question I ask myself
the sadness forever haunts me
why did I end up back on the shelf?

And now I find I've lost you
this disease has struck you down
something you did not deserve
you fallen low and lost your crown

I hope and pray you'll get through this
that you`ll heal and be much stronger
pick up your live and love again
we can remain friends for much longer

Never forget that you're not alone
I think of you and say a prayer
the love may have disappeared
but friendship will always be there
