Winter Fairy

a blanket of white covers the land

muffling each and every sound

for winter has come a calling

the Ice Fairy has been crowned

Mother Nature wraps her in white

creatures keep watch over her

winter has visited this garden

all is at peace so no need to stir!

Love creating shaped poems,  this one is all about a country cottage. Inspired by the keyring I knit and sell. 

Hi                          

country cottage in the woods

thick thatched roof hanging low

over small windows that look out

on the garden full of bright colours

roses, wisteria to foxglove and phlox

small windows shelters by thatch

wide open,  letting all the scent in

winding  path, leading to the door

fairytale colours to compliment the

countryside found around the home. A small stone wall surrounds this cottage

Autumn to Winter

Autumns golden hues

red and orange and yellow

trees alight with bright colours

carpets of leaves covering the ground

being splashed around by

wellington booted children

clad in scarves, hat and mitts,

puffing clouds of steam

as they race around the park.

The trees are looking bare

now they`ve lost their summer coats

but here and there a holly tree

defiant in its green

squirrels red and grey alike

stocking up their larders

to see the winter through.

Darker now the evenings

and colder all around

people hurrying to get home

to warm their weary bones

The grass is crunchier underfoot

Jack frost has danced around

he leaves the park all muffled

impressions of black and white.

winter has crept in

through the gap in Autumns door

and caught us all unaware

until it shouts BOO!

Stones of Remembrance

Large smooth rounded stones , foundations to build a life

each stone balanced by faith as memories are held together

bright sunray, light up each stone, capturing precious moments

safely stored for evermore by adding new stones to the stack

defying gravity as the stack grows holding magical times at heart

continuing to add new thoughts, a life time of love kept together.

Home Coming!

 winds howl and snow blankets all the land

dark sky`s lit by millions of stars

one lonely figure travels on

bent against the weather

family on his mind

returning home

for Christmas

festive

time

🎄

Four Legged Friends

walking down country lanes

splashing in the puddles

helping dig up the garden 

then home again for cuddles

furry friends for life 

and companions altogether

snuggled by the fireside

making memories forever

Cheshire Cat

Mysterious mythical cat

with his uniquely strange ways

you may even have noticed 

I`m not all here myself, he says

quite an unusual character

sat high up in his own tree

can you stand on your head?

we`re all mad here, you see!

purple and pink stripped fur

 big grin that`s mischievous 

 a cheeky twinkle in his eyes

all normality, he`s oblivious 

imagination is only a weapon

in the war against reality

this Cheshire Cat would say

while he grins up in his tree!

no time to fret in wonderland

just smile, or you`ll explode

for you see, we`re all mad here  

just travel along your chosen road
