I've decided
Donna Sep 2017
I've decided
to let you go off
into your own yesterday's
to perch upon a tree branch
where the green leaves have fallen
and the moon sits silently
watching you , caring for you
guilding you without your
knowledge of knowing
that one day in the future
you will wake up
and realise there's more to life
than the end of a rolled up
drunken cigarette.

Mind

In a mind where it
never stops chatting , I sit
in a boat and wave
Sometimes it can be annoying especially when anixety creeps in but  I'm use to it now. A nice walk outdoors and a goodnight sleep helps lots x

Then I done a massive burp
And met up with breeze

To get my cousin
and his wife to a surprise
party was so fun

We made up a lie
Said we was taking them to
a boxing event

We got a cab to
a local foootball club where
all the family

was waiting with smiles
and excitement , me and my
Dean open the doors

Everyone shouted
'surprise" and took photos
My cousin cried tears

We danced all night long
Was such a lovely catch up
Lots of happiness

My cousin and his
wife are emigrating to
Spain in June this year

So a farewell it
was , family gathered to
make sweet memories

Jan's daughter bless her
had organised the party
In just three short weeks

Friends and family
from all over turned up to
show there gratitude

Me and my Dean danced
to a song called Red Red Wine
One of our favourites

Some got merry , they swayed
around nearly toppling
over , we did laugh

The food was yummy
There was carrot cake and crisps
Chicken, gherkins, rolls

Bagels and crab
sticks , lollypops and chocolate
sponge cake with icing

The laser light was fun
full of  happy faces and
bright stars in the sky

Was a lovely night
A sweet memory , one to
look back on and smile

<3
Wonderful evening one to happily remember ** :)

My nanny Rose
Donna Oct 2017
I remember the days
when I was a kid
and my nanny Rose
lived with me mum sis and bro!
She always smelled so pretty!
Every morning she would
get up early and put on one
of her flowery dresses
even in winter she looked
like summer and she
always sprayed so much
lacquer in her lovely brown hair  
i tasted it everytime!
She worked up London
in a big firm working as a tea lady
Everyday she would push her
little trolley full
of tea and biscuits
into all the offices
she was so loved by all her
employers!
Once a year she would
take us all to see the
Lord Major show up London
and  we would wave our flags
and have a jolly good time.
Every night she would leave
her pearly teeth in a cup
and oh my! did she snore loud
Me and my sister would laugh
under the bed sheets hoping she
wouldn't hear us!
I miss my nanny Rose a lot
she was truly a wonderful lady
and rests softly and warmly
in my memories and my heart
always **
Inspired after readin john baverstock poem about his Nan :)
Thank u john your lovely poem made me think of my lovely nanny Rose x

Winter cloud
Donna Jun 2017
Surrounded my family
who love me very much
who accept me for me
my heart dearly touched.
I live with the fairies
inside of my mind
but one I like
there so very kind.
Sometimes in life
it makes me feel sad
rebellious teen
has turned real bad
In all of her faults
shes just finding her way
and I just hope
the sun shines one day.
I continue to smile
and laugh out loud
helping release
this dark winter cloud.
I tell myself
where did I go wrong
have I somewhere left notes
in an unwritten song.
But braveness I bare
within my heart
to be harsh at times
for a fresh new start

For my love (Dean)
Donna Jul 2018
In just a few weeks
our big day will arrive and
I can't stop smiling

I sometimes try to
find the right words to express
my love for you babe

But no words can say
how much I truly love you
You know I love you

And I know you love
me , through all our hardships we
have found a sweet place

to live , my heart beats
fast through excitement and I
keep acting silly

I'm lying down on
bed looking up at ceiling
smiling to the big

universe of stars
I cant see the universe
It's inside my mind

But that's how you make
me feel , so loved and special
and you accept me

as I am , even
my faults , as I not perfect
But your perfect for

me , I hope one day
you will read this and know how
much I love you babe

Sometimes we silent
But just one look into your
eyes is all the words

I ever going to need **

If you don't smile
Donna Jan 2018
if you don't smile your
cheeks will drop into your chin
giving you square face

then your end up with
a permanent serious
green hulk frown

your shoulders will fall
into your hips and your legs
into your feet

you will end up all
squashy and walk funny
like a snow penguin

so my advice is
smile everyday be happy
or be all squashy small
keep smiling or be all squashy  :))))

I met a spider - haikudiary
Donna Mar 2018
Tonight I met a
little spider , it was in
my bathroom running

Aww it was so small
I was sweeping up the dust
And then I had a

moment , I thought I
shall sweep it up in dust
pan and brush right now

Then I thought o no
I cannot sweep it up to
end up in a bin

crawling about in
the dark on yesterday's food
all stinky with pong

Instead I let it
run free under a plastic
chess of werid drawers

Aww it was so small
And it was celebrating
springs yellow sunshine

But where is the sun
O it's coming soon , its just
planting its insects

Ain't spring so lovely
I'm so excited to see
a butterfly fly

They smile you know, you
just need to look closely
But you must smile back

Because if you don't
You will miss out on natures
kind gentle cuddles
Don't forget to smile when u see a butterfly :)

Time - haiku style
Donna Feb 2018
Time goes on and it
never stops only flashes
of memories live

inside our squidgy
minds where we cannot see our
brain only darkness

where whispers echo
sometimes sweetly sometimes harsh
It's a difficult one

to analyse is
to take up to much precious
time..not worth the try

Lavender travels
around the world together
Leaving a sweet taste

Mountains are climbed high
Achievements are made with warm smiles
Spring comes and then goes

Leopards gallop fast
Faster than summer breeze but
not faster then time

Time is clever and
time knows this , yet it never
listens to wishes

So in this big world
We live it the best we can
With strength love and smiles

Hey if u don't mind
me saying in my haiku
style poetry

that the only way
to get notice here on the
lovely hp site

is to be kindly
reposted which gets me to
think in my old brain

that maybe my own
poetry is not up to
standard , Tis a thought

You see I admit
I've been really busy in
my sweet life lately

Having gigantic
family my time on here
is time limited

Organising a
wedding also is taking
up my precious time

And I don't get much
time to read everyone's writes
I wish I could though!

Anyway Tis just
a thought I had , as my brain
was itching my skull
Just a thought as I repost poetry myself x
Take care for nows x

I've Loved Today
Donna Jun 2018
Today I saw a
black and orange butterfly
My heart fluttered smiles

Then I saw a dead
moth it's wings white as snow, I laid
it upon a leaf

A little ant crawled
along kitchen floor making
me do a hopscotch

But last week I swept
one up by accident and
squashed  it , I felt a

ping of guilt because
all creatures have every right
to be here on earth

I saw two sparrows
on tv Ariel , made
a change from pigeons

But you know what my
best view today was a big
old tree at bottom

of garden , its flows
freely as blue sky surrounds  
it's like a blanket

It's happy and so
joyfully vibrant,  its
gives off awesome vibes

I think a fairy
called Jennifer lives on one
of its happy leaves

I've seen her sometimes
She wears an orange dress and
bright yellow boot skates

With striped socks and
her hair is ******* in a bun
filled with sherbet straws

Her wings are made from
fluffy clouds , and she carries
a bow and arrow

I hope one day she'd
come to visit me , she seems
a lovely fairy

She glows so bright I
see twinkly dust swish pass
me like flying stars

I shall leave window
open especially for
her to visit me

I've loved today
I wrote this one in my drafts yesterday Usinjg Reality and my imagination and mixed them both together was so fun to write **
I may continue this one if I remember as I have a brain like a sieve :)

Party night - my haikustory
Donna Mar 2018
so the drink was on
form and it didn't want to
stop flowing at all

Fizzy dizzy pop
brandy and Coke happily
enter my big mouth

So there we were me
and my lovely Deano
havin a great good dance

we took over the
dance floor , o it was so nice
we giggled and swayed

to 80's music
Big balloons hues of universe
Floated delicately

Pretty names blossomed
Happy Birthday wishes bloomed
Lots of lovely food

okay so we had
a few shots , *** we
now have dragons mouths

we taste aniseed
It was rather revolting
But it made us smile

I danced with my great
kids we had such a lovely
time we all smiled lots

O the food was so
scrumptious , chicken in wraps dipped
in chilli silly

red sunset sauce o
it tasted divine , me and
Dean ate it all up

Oh no my daughter
puked it over my sons van
Oh dear she's collapsed

*** I've put
my hand in her puke , oh jeez
The joys of a mum!!!

Hey I go indoors
Albie our pup as pooped twice
in our living room

Two large parcels on
my floor bless him and he
waggled his cute tail

My neighbour is in
a right old state too , they are
our lovely sweet friends

O the night is dark
The moon as just disappeared
And pavements are dark

The air is chilly
The trees look like big shadows
Cars parked silently

House is so quiet
Dogs are all dreamy sweetly
Everyone is drunk

But not nasty drunk
Merrily drunk with 'I love
you' cuddle kissy

Frizzy pop wizzy
Nizzy dizzy lizzy pop
Jazzy mazzey lop

Sparkling champagne
Bubbly gently softly
hic ups a big burp

White silky table
seat covers looking rather
dashing dreesed on chairs

Gives a really nice
authentic feel of kindness
filled with magic stars

I close my eyes and
my mind is spinning around
And I feel sick too
Oh jeez a goodold  ***** not good for u but. Once in awhile it's nice to just have lots of fun ***;**
