This has been a long creative day

so as the stars twinkle brightly

the crescent moon travels it`s orbit

it`s time to lay down my pen

sleep and let my dreams do the rest ...!

Morning ....!

So much has inspired me through yesterday
urging me to paint pictures via the ink in my pen
dancing across my crisp white parchment
forming images from the thoughts held in my head
now it`s time to pick up my pen.... and create from my heart ......!

When Witches Sleep

When all is said and done

and the wicked witch had spoken

the children can come out to play

for the rules may now be broken

bright fairy lights are shining

so, with a wink the fun can begin

the darkness went when that witch left

now its smiles and laughter all round

as the moon lights up the sky

fun and happiness abound

for the party is in full swing

therefore, let the witch sleep on!

My special Nan

You were such a special nan
you meant the world to me
always there to make me smile
it was sad to set you free

watching you lose your memories
as you slowly slipped away
all I wanted was to have you back
now I try to remember you before that day

the things you did were noticed
the love you gave held dear
my life was especially lucky
when I knew that you were near

I saw how much you suffered
Alzheimer`s never easy
therefore I`ll say `Dear nan`
you meant the world to me!

Witches Coven

The witches are out tonight
swooping, soaring through the clouds
can`t you hear them cackling?
as they merge into small crowds

with sharp noses and beady eyes
scraggly hair and grotesque warts
they land their brooms in clearings
this their preferred mode of transport

each coven is complete now
a large cauldron is made ready
all thirteen witches around
as they hold their wands steady

eye of newt and tongue of frog
a thread from a dragon`s vest
webs from black widow spiders
for this spell will be the best

the night is so black and clear
that big round moon shining bright
for the witches` spell`s complete
so celebrate Halloween Night!!


Happy Halloween everyone!!!!

Darkness

In the silence of the night
peace of heart is what I seek
though in the deep darkness
a tear runs down my cheek

no sound is felt at all
for everything is still
just the beating of my heart
thankful it`s not lost its will

memories of times past
tugging hard at my heart strings
where has all the love gone
wonder what the future brings

so until the dawn appears
let my tears flow freely
for though my joy has gone
I can still see clearly !

Time to lay down my pen and close my book

as the moon shines through the darkness

let me rest my weary mind and body

so my dreams can wash over my sleeping soul

for only then can I create pictures from my heart ......

Hello Autumn

October rumblings
autumn`s now on its way
the warmth has left the sun
cold blue skies here to stay

weather`s unpredictable
but that's how I like it
maybe we`ll have snow soon
it strengthens the spirit!

bright colours on the trees
they`re changing their attire
orange, reds and yellows
summer can now retire

it`s like another world
low lying misty mornings
everything is shrouded
sending winter warnings

October`s a great month
marks a change in the year
for earth start to sleep
as winter will be here..
