Fairy Flowers   
(Hepatica nobilis)


Delicate flowers
so tiny and sweet
pale blue in colour
dancing in the breeze

with tall dark thin stems
swaying so gently
sprinkled with gold dust
from afternoon sun

they`re so beguiling
with their heads held high
petals unfolding
so pleasing to the eye

deep in the woodlands
sweet scent fills the air
as these fairy flowers
bob gently in the sun

Sleeping swan

on this crisp sunny morning
just as the mist clears away
a sleepy swan slowly wakes
marking the start of her day

enveloped in her white wings
protected from the cold night
an orange beak peeping through
this bird is an awesome sight

a black beady eye watching
so aware of life around
waiting for the time to swim
as she moves without a sound

raising its head to the sky
stretching her wings out wide
slipping into the waters
no more need to sleep and hide

Squeak

As the sun beats over head
a furry ball flashes passed
racing all around the garden
how long will this madness last

dashing in and out flowers
or up and down the fruit tree
then chasing frogs by the pond
you seem to have such energy !

but just as suddenly
you flop down to the ground
exhausted from your run about
purring is now the only sound.

Darts

with the board set up and darts in hand
standing at the oche, you`re ready to throw
double twenties flying, a bulls-eye is needed
the trophy awaits then off to the next round you go !

Evening Reflections

Reflections of the day
play tricks on our mind
as the sun begins to set
you can start to unwind

the events of the day
can now draw to an end
you can hold them so dear
like a wonderful friend

when all is said and done
we still need our rest
so it`s time now to chill
the evenings are the best

watching the sun go down
pull up a chair and join me
we`ll put the world to rights
and let`s share a good story

Laying my pen down for the night

for sleep will refresh my mind

so letting the ink flow freely tomorrow

but now it`s time to dream 

and fill my heart with wonderful memories

Summer...

drifting across an ocean high
fluffy cotton shrouds
like rippling white waves
bobbing close by
to an orb so warmth
shining so strong
casting shadows that reflect
the light of the heavens..!
