Evenings....

Winter has crept up slowly
and caught us both unaware
so lets stoke up the fire now
and sip mulled wine with care

stretched out on the hearth rug
fur warmed in the flickering heat
she purrs so contently there
sheer peace that can`t be beat

Crispy Morning

All snug and cosy in my bed
yet I know it`s time for me to rise
outside it`s cold and crispy
to stay in bed would be wise !

though the day is now a calling

and there`s so much for me to do

I just want to remain right here

snuggled up warm beside you

Jack Frost.....

My window is covered in ice
a white blanket engulfs everything
spiky branches silhouette the moon
as a mist can be seen all around
the howling winds swirl about
temperatures have dipped below zero
glistening spider webs span the plants
tiny foot prints across my path way
Jack Frost has been dancing here
he has left his mark for all to see

Christmas trees and candle light

makes this Christmas season bright

cheer and gladness may they bring

and close to you may good luck cling !

On Poppy Day

we take a moment 

to think of all the ones

who lost their lives in war
so we may have our peace
 we wear our red poppies
with pride for all to
see and know
we will

Thunderous Steam

Steaming through the wintry light
powering along steel tracks
puffing out a trail of smoke
travelling along to the max

Chugging past the countryside
as evening begins to set in
billowing clouds of black smoke
with it`s bright lantern shinin`!

Storming round this mighty curve
and thundering along the rails
feeling the movement under foot
just showing it`s size and scale

This awesome beast of the steam age
reminds us of times gone by
and to see the trains still working
so pleasing to the soul and eye

The sheer power of this steam train
blasting it`s way over this land
long may this relic from the past
show us that travel can be grand..!



The steam train is a wonderful way to travel...!

Pumpkins at Halloween

Oh my, there`s a pumpkin on my door step
in the light of day it looks very sad
so cold and dead, should I throw it away?
it has a face carved that makes it look mad

however when the night time comes around
it`s a different story, for it lights up bright
with an evil grin and sharp pointed teeth
makes you feel it`ll jump up at you and bite

but for me it`s the frightening eyes that stare
they appear to watch you where ever you go
will they turn you into a zombie now
as you try to go past that grotesque glow

but remember on this Halloween Night
with the Witches, Ghouls and Zombies around
that the pumpkin head is there to protect
all lit up to ward off evil abound.
