Red Poppy

Remembering each life

Engraved on our hearts

Destined for glory

Poppy fields all ablaze

Our Soldiers fought for freedom

Peace was won so valiantly

Proud of each and every one

Year on year, we remember them.

Christmas is coming !

Snowman shaped poem.

Snowman

Standing

All alone

Proudly in the garden

Coal for eyes

Carrot for a nose

Pipe in his mouth

Smiling happily

All watchful

In a white landscape

Red scarf around his neck

Black buttons down his front

Twigs sticking out for the arms

Looking so smart standing here

Amongst all this wintry scenery 

Watching out for Father Christmas

So then he can go join his friends

At the festive season celebrations

For our winter wonderland guard

Standing there in our garden

Merry Christmas everyone!

Sleeping Feline

Soft fluffy patterned fur

emanating  rhythmic purrs

long stretched out limbs

small pads touching my skin

feeling comfortable next to me

as we relax here on the sofa

subtle twitches from her dreams

chasing mice around the house

ears turn at far off sounds

an eye opens to look around

then slowly closes

once all is quiet again

back to slumbering in peace

curled up together

my cat and I!

Just love curling up on the sofa with my cat!

Advertising

Adverts, adverts, slogans in your face

Billboards everywhere, found in every place

Do they really help us make up our minds

Pushing ideas of all different kinds

Cheapest prices, best there is in town

Well established, always wins hands down!

Do I follow all that's pushed my way?

Thinking, listening to all they have to say

No!!  I will choose just what I need

Advertisings!!  Me, I don`t take no heed!!

 I wrote this poem after being given a challenge by my kids

To write one on a subject of their choice!

Daft side of Christmas

It must be Christmas time again

the latest toys are on the shelves

and the queues are getting longer

Santa`s lucky, he has his elves

battling through the crowds again

loads of shopping bags to carry

as I`m struggling with the car keys

why can`t I have my own fairy?

fought hard to put the tree up

untangled many miles of lights

wrapped presents sit under the tree now

promising many joys and delights

mistletoe hangs over the door

to catch the unsuspecting man

carols played on the radio

as some snores are heard from nan

a jumble of cards on the mantle

turkey`s nicely cooking away

the family`s crammed altogether

as we celebrate Christmas Day !

Merry Christmas !

Puss In Boots !

In his boots so exquisite

he strides along the way

this flamboyant Pussy Cat

he'll always save the day!

beautiful big green eyes

under his feathered hat

soft fur that's so elegant

he's such an eccentric cat !

if you ever need his help

when there's danger in the air

he`ll always defend your honour

with great vigour and flare !

The Mad Hatter`s tea party

with cakes and ice cream

lots of games and laughter

causing quite a scream

door mouse is hiding

amongst many tea pots

while March Hare's looking smart 

and The Hatter's chatting lots

with fancy hats and presents

we`re here to have some fun

sharing tasty pots of tea

around the table in the sun
