Tractor Man Thomas

Sheltered in the corner of the yard

stands the old green John Deere

rustic but still a working engine

ready to go any time of the year !

a great machine for towing equipment

through many different terrains  

from feeding cattle and ploughing

to harvesting the yearly grains

chug, chug, went the old green tractor

puffing out smoke when it travelled by

rumbling through the country lanes

with farmer Thomas riding high

Old John Deere Big Tractors

Morning Kiss

Deep in slumber
safe in your embrace
pleasant dreams
knowing we`re safe
laying entwined
snuggled together
as the sun peeps through
the gap in the shutter
birds are singing
as the sun comes up
morning is here.......

I feel a tender kiss
as I stir from sleep
soft as a feather
upon my cheek
is this a dream
should I wake up?
turning toward you
I feel your lips
searching for mine
a morning kiss
to greet the new day.....!

best way to wake up and start a new day.......!

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...!

Heavenly Moon

This tiny speck of light
shining through the dark so bright
hovering up high in the sky
where angelic angels fly
this mysterious orb that I see
what, I wonder could it be
floating slowly on by .. blinking
smiling down on me and .. winking
it feels good to see it there
sparkling with so much flair
this sweet and heavenly sphere
that fills me with so much cheer
hope to see you again real soon
my heavenly bright shiny moon

On a clear night, it`s great to see the bright shiny orb we call the moon!

Helping Paws

What ever is over there behind the wall

want to know who`s making that sound

lend us a paw and let`s see what`s there

give us a lift, hope it`s not the dog pound!

there they were, one holding up the other

the strain was there for all to see

claws dug in the wood with all their might
two little kittens exploring happily

Caterpillar

This colourful caterpillar

nibbling leaves all alone

as winter will soon be here

is looking for a loving home

Reflections of my world

heavy streaks of water
makes my view a muddle
for my upside down world
is nestled in a puddle

rippling in the breeze
disappearing in an instant
by the marching passers-by
destroying all so distant

all that I can see, is
reflections all around
distorted and yet clear
my world on the ground.

it`s funny how a puddle reflects our distorted world.......

The symbol of a rose
inflicts much emotion
soft velvety petals
flowing like an ocean !

bright hues of colour
and aromas so sweet
bombarding the senses
like a tantalising treat

so soft and so mystic
yet hidden from sight
sharp thorns that draw blood
in the dark depths of night

this symbol of a rose
it's beauty laid bare
hold close to your heart
and treat with great care
