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!!!!

Pumpkins and Kittens 

Furry bundles and smiley faces

hidden amongst autumn colours 
bright eyed and pricked ears
such a pair of merry brothers

reds, oranges through to browns
Sweet pumpkins cut by hand
while kittens play hide and seek together
this mischief making little band !

Tough Times

Tough times

hard measures

we must all be strong

support one another

stick together

for this road will be long!

stay alert

social distance

not forgetting face masks

and hand washing

let`s remember

we must obey these tasks

our survival

through these hard times

this invisible threat

found all around 

engulfs the world

times we`ll never forget!

Sand Moon

Rippling sands of time
sway across the night sky
undulating by the moon
on its path, arched so high

Silhouetting all about
creating striking designs
across this beautiful orb
leaving sandy fine lines

The bright rays of the moon
spreading light across the lands
shrubs swaying in the foreground
feeling like waving hands

With soft hues of autumn
floating on winged beams
as the moon follows its path
dwelling in the land of dreams

Two little soft feet

with toes in the air

wriggly little fingers

that grab at our hair

cute rosy cheeks

on a smiling face

joyous little gurgles

our bundle of grace !

In his colourful rainbow style

with his laughter and a smile

 so hold on to him nice and tight

for he will keep you company

through each and every night!

Start of Autumn

September 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

crunchiness under foot
and a bite in the air
wrap up now and stay warm
it`s time to take good care

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

I love autumn, all the bright colours on thee trees and fruit ripening, harvest time!!
The Winter is just around the corner followed by Christmas....yeah!!!

Without you!

After that morning I lost you

life has never been the same

wishing I could hold you once more

and see your cheeky smile again

watching the sun rise each dawn

the moon travels its arc at night

but there's always something missing

now your wings have given you flight 

the ebb and flow of daily tides

the sands of time passes by

but thoughts of you will never fade

my soul yields to a saddened sigh

for life has lost its little sparkle

and the world feels really blue

but the things that helps me carry on

are all the precious memories of you!
