Spring Beauty in a Vase

Daffodils and tulips

standing proud on my table

bright yellows and purples

flowering tall and stable

sun touching velvet petals

catching their texture in the light

sweet aromas filling my kitchen

oh, such an uplifting sight

each morning flowers greet me

as I make my morning coffee

spreading much love and joy

a little present just for me

spring flowers in my kitchen

filling me with happiness

bringing my garden inside

overflowing with cheerfulness

Bluebells

Pretty bells waving little blue bonnets 

carpeting the woodland floor

frills of bright green bordering 

filling our hearts with joys of spring

dappled sunlight lifts the spirit

filtering through the trees

spotlighting the mystery of spring

bringing nature alive !

Pools of light

Pools of Light

through the evening shadows

as the sun slowly slips away

street lights start to brighten

at the end of the working day

pools of light, like stepping stones

brighten the city`s walkways

as nightfall slowly covers the town

they set all the streets ablaze

within each circle of lamp light

you`ll find a little world exists

insects, moths and small particles

where many are unable to resist

so in the darkness of the night

many creatures will pass on by
through these little habitats of life
til the down, when we say goodbye

Pussy Cat visits the Zoo

Pussy cat pussy cat

          what did you do

I got on the bus

          to visit the zoo

Pussy cat pussy cat

          what did you there

looked at the animals

           smiled at a bear

Pussy cat pussy cat

            who did you see

long necked giraffes 

             and a chimpanzee

Pussy cat pussy cat

             time to go home

made lots of memories

            you`re never alone

Sweet Angel Mum

Just to say `I love you mum`

would mean the world to me

but since the angels gave you wings

I`ll share my love through poetry

miss popping round to say `hi`

and share a coffee and chitchat

we`d sort out the world`s troubles

while on my lap, a snoozing cat

I miss your love and wisdom

your kindness and caring manner

now your free from earthy stress

bet you're full of heavenly glamour

so today I think of our friendship

and all the love you send me way

thank you for all you did for me

Mum, Happy Mothering Sunday

Nap time

A bundle of purring fur

sleeping cosy by my lap

hiding her face from light

as she continues her nap

Soundwaves of the Loch

a wintry sight from across the waters

with snowy mountains standing proud

reflecting colours of blue and white

under a bright clear sky, not a cloud

like music of the deep coldness

travelling along the loch`s shore

following the beat of Orkney

notes from the island for evermore

visible soundtrack flowing freely

undulating rhythms for the season

vibrating Nordic sounds heard

beauty that you can believe in
