Pen and paper
A beautiful feather ink pen
Some gorgeous thick cream paper
You can’t beat them
Write a letter
Of how you feel
With beautiful hand writing
Something real
Beautifully scripted
With thought and feeling
Something to keep
Something to hold
In your hands and feel the love
And read with your eyes and see
How beautiful it is to me!

Kids needs!
It starts with the kids
The little darlings need to be taught
Respect
Consideration
Right and wrong
To love one another
Compromise
About kindness
About caring
About love
And above all
Faith, Hope and charity
Give them clarity
To do good
Then they’ll be equipped
For a good happy healthy life!
The only crimes where I live are done by the kids! They are insolent, destructive, rude, cheeky and even defy the police, their one line is Prove it!
This is where they need to be taught respect !

Way to go
Let us be happy
Please don’t be sad

Try to be positive
It can’t be that bad

When things go wrong
Try to be strong

Don’t be too proud
Ask for some help

Shout out aloud
And let someone know

Get things put right
That’s the way to go!

A new planet
A new planet has been found
In science they say discovered
A place where life exists
It was inevitable
Would we be selfish to disbelieve ?
We’re not alone
Another time another place
We have to face
Other beings
Other life
Another time
Another place
Somewhere out there
In time and space!

Epitome
Love is the epitome of all that is good
Life is the epitome of what we could
Living is the epitome of a lesson
Learning is an epitome of life!

Go to sleep now
Why do we have to sleep she says,
In the night time haze!
So we can be awake during our days
But why can’t I stay awake
So go to sleep for goodness sake
It’s to charge your batteries and keep you going
And stop you slowing
And keep you growing
So sleep now My little one
It’s night time and the day is done!

Weary
Everything bleary
Yawning
Grabbing air
Sleep

Back to nature
Our garden is as natural as nature belongs
We hear those beautiful birds singing their songs
The butterflies come and visit the budleigh tree
That is wonderful to look at and to see
My apple tree is full of bloom
The apples will be coming quite soon
And the bamboo is vast
Hope it will last
The weeping willow tree
Is enormous but precious to me
The garden is a meadow
Full of lovely pretty weeds and flowers
You can sit and just look for hours and hours
The holly is beautiful and spreading a treat
There’s lots of bird feeders and food for them to eat
Our natural garden sure is beautiful to see
With the birds and the buzzy bee
Any day of the year
And even More when the sun does appear!
Happy Easter to everyone
Yesterday Good Friday I saw a white swan
As We went to Newstead Abbey
Me and Moose my baby
It was fish for tea
Well it was for me
Today is Easter Saturday
I have to say
It’s the Eggs today
Not chocolate for me
Despite I plea
Boiled fried or scrambled eggs
Not chocolate Easter eggs
But hey do we know the history
It’s all such a mystery
But we should still give it thought
The son of God has risen we were taught
Is what they really say
So Easter is a happy day
Let’s pray and let there be peace
Cos one day we will all decease!
Happy Easter one and all
Eat those eggs and have a ball!
Love to all! I am a Christian but still trying to work it out? I like the concept of Buddha and I like Paganism! I love trees and all I want is love and peace 💖

Newstead Abbey
I walk the grounds of Newstead Abbey
From where Byron used to live
He fills me full of inspiration
That’s such a joy that we can give
It’s such a beautiful place
And walking is a joy, especially when my Moose I’m with
We walk around the great big pond
And through the gardens too
We visit the Japanese garden and all the other but a few
The house is just magnificent
A joy to see  and walk around
Where Byron’s footsteps
Would have been all around the ground
A wish to walk in his shoes
For his poetry I peruse
And the inspiration I will use
To write my poetry too!
I love Newstead Abbey and so does Moose!

My Zombie Day
Today I call my zombie day
Because its the day after I work away
And now back home
Time for rest and play
And to be a zombie
Chill and go to sleep
Walk the dog early
Then back to bed
With a cup of tea
Eyes tired
So I close them
And drift off to sleep
I’m going to have my zombie day
In any kind of way!

Happy day
I’m feeling quite elated
My spirits have been lifted
I’m On a natural high
The sun is out and smiling
it’s going to be a lovely day
Every thing seems rosey
But you know what they say
With a rose comes thorns
But they won’t burst my bubble
Today I will be happy
No matter what they say
No thorns will get in my way,
I will have a very happy day!

A penny
They say
‘Find a penny’
‘Pick it up’
‘Then all daylong you’ll have good luck’

I found a penny
Placed on my bed
I don’t know how it got there
I thank the entity who left it
For them I really care

I hold the penny in my hand
I will not let it go
Until I find who left it
For that I’d like to know!

What a lovely gesture from I don’t know who
Someone really loves me and whoever I love too!
It’s strange but wonderful I came back from walking my baby ( dog) Moose, my husband was fast asleep and there on the bed was a penny,  a nice shiny copper penny!
I will cherish it because that alone I am grateful
How lovely!
Whoever left it
I love you !
Life can be cruel
Life can be kind
But that’s the rule
Some may find
Some are so lucky
They have everything
Others seem to suffer
At what ever life will bring
Life’s unfair
Some just dare
Some just do
Some just worry their lives away
Hoping that there’s some good one day!
For them too!

Man’s best friend
Man’s best friend is my baby
She loves her belly rubbed
and not just may be
She’s so content she sleeps like a baby
She’s so fussy
When it comes to food
Not a bad thing so that is good
She cuddles up close and falls asleep
Starts to dream very deep
I guess it’s squirrels running up a tree
She liked to run fast and free
She a gift from God to me
Man’s best friend, my baby!
My Moose is my baby !

Man’s best friend
She runs so fast
But it doesn’t last
She rolls on the grass
And still looks the class
She digs
She sniffs
She looks up at me
I smile
She’s having a moment
She Enjoyed her walk
Shame she couldn’t talk
I’d love to know
What’s on her mind
She has a lovely nature
Man’s best friend
And we’re homeward bound,
Time to unwind!
Curl up comfy
And back to sleep!
That’s both of us as I take her out early early am!!!!! She’s a gorgeous Bijon cross with a poodle !

Give your love
Love is the most beautifulest thing you can give to anyone
To say it from the heart is how it’s done
To mean it with the upmost honesty
To give your love is special
It cures everything
It lights up someone’s life
And the sun shines brighter
The grass is greener
The sky is a beautiful blue
Just tell someone you love them,
And you might find they love you too!

Red Sky in the morning
Well what a gorgeous sky this morning
It looks like the reflection of a field of beautiful tulips
It’s streaky red above my head
And down below
The pavement has a little glow
It’s is a little damp
From the morning due
Little tiny drops of water on each little blade of grass
But alas
The air is cool but fresh
There’s No one about but a few cars passing by
Peace perfect peace
It’s Sunday morning as the night draws nigh!
What a wonderful red sky!

The Storm
The storm is raging
It’s getting out of control
The wind is like an angry witch
And the rain is such a pain
Where will it drain
There is so much
The thunder rages like a demon
Falk like , hitting anything in its way
So stay indoors and hide away
Come out only
When it’s a better day!
Feb 16 · 195
Beautiful too
Nature can be cruel
But beautiful too
The sea can be a demon
But beautiful too
The waves are endearing
But beautiful too
The sun can be so harsh
But beautiful too
The snow can freeze your nose and toes
But beautiful too
The rain can be a pain
But beautiful too

You
You
You make me laugh
You make me smile
You go that extra mile
You’re so kind
You’re so sweet
You’re so good to me
You’re my rock
You’re my sanity
You are my everything
You’re everything to me!

Husband wife friend and lover

I always think of you
Especially today

It’s Valentine’s Day !

It’s so sad
It’s so sad,
I met two young people yesterday
Homeless I would say
Settling down for the night
Huddled together in the cold evening air
I gave them blankets , I believe we should share,
I gave them my spare coats from my car because I care,
I gave them money
To get a hot meal and a drink
It’s sad ,
I couldn’t do much more
but I offered to pray
For Adam and Ruby
They were so grateful really and truly
I prayed and I prayed
They find somewhere to live
That they would be safe
That someone would help them
To a better life!
Young and homeless
Sometimes it’s their choice
But I asked them why
They’d been thrown out of their place!
It’s so sad!
I love the peace and quiet
So relaxing,
a delight
I close my eyes
I hear no cries
Just quiet
Peace perfect peace
Don’t let it cease
Just slowly increase
This calm and quiet moment

Electric
We are all run by electricity
And electricity never dies
The neurones fire away
And we see another day
So when we die
Our electricity lives on
Could it be we fly
To that place up in the sky?

My Winter garden
The great, green bamboo
is Waving at you
Gently in the wind
The holly trees look so pleased
It’s going to be a lovely day
The grass alas is tethered and torn
From the harsh winter weather morn
The sky is bright
But it’s very white
It’s so quiet
No cause for a riot
As I sit and watch through the window
At our winter garden!

Pray that someday
Pray
That someday
There will be peace in this world
Pray
That someday
There will only be love
Pray
That someday
there will be happiness
Pray
That someday
There will be kindness and compassion

Flickering candles
Flickering candles
They Dance
Burning the wick
They dance
Some stretching tall
They dance
Some so small
They dance!
Burning bright
They dance
Giving light
They dance
And that’s not all
They dance!

Feeling good

Feeling bad
Whenever
I can

Day to night
It’s still out there
The sky is like a shroud of white
Some trees are bare
Like the weeping willow

By candle light
The evening draws in
Taking day to night
As the light starts to dim

The sound of silence
Hisses like a snake
Without violence
Night inevitably draws in

The evergreens now look black
The green has gone
The darkness is on its way
End of day has come!
Feb 12 · 64
Get there
I whittle
I whine
I’m stressed
It’s the sign

I need
To get control
This stress of mine
Let it roll

What will be
Will be
Need to sort it out
You see

Need to be strong
I’m not wrong
I’ll get there
To be fair!

Self Assembly
When you’re working up to the ultimate moment
And you’re coming to the ******
And then it happens
the earth moves
Shaking
Waking up the dead
Seeing colours in your head
The ultimate excitement
Fireworks in your brain
You’ve done it
You’ve made it
Self assembly is done!

My valentine
When we first met
How comfortable we were together
The closer We could get
We felt the warmth between us
I’m so glad that we met
Our heats and souls entwined
Together in our little net
We are together as one
Our lives are set
As  we live on!

Here and now
Here and now,
This minute in time
This second
I feel the cool air on my face
Blowing gently
I hear the wind
I feel the wind
And the damp atmosphere
Which surrounds me

Here now
This minute in time
I see the sky of grey
It’s a miserable day
The rain now spitting at me
As if to say
Go away

Here and now
Going home
To dryer climes
In front of a warm fire
Drinking coffee with cream
And a slice of strawberry cheesecake
What a dream
Here and now!

Cold Wind

Freezing my fingers and my toes

Without you
You awake from your aided sleep
Respirator blowing
Alarms were going
They’re so annoying
I ask how you’re feeling
And you’re ok today
Better than yesterday
Better than the day before
I tell you I love you more
You apologise for the last few days
They are just a haze
But you know it’s really ok
You tell me you love me
And you couldn’t do without me
I stay because you’re my soul mate
You’re my world , my everything
So no matter what I’m here for you
Don’t ever go or leave this world
Or I’ll be lost without you!
I never doubt you
You’re my rock
You keep me going
You have faith in me
Whatever I do and where ever I’m going
Knowing
You are here with me!
I would find it very difficult to live without you!
Like the song
“I can’t live if living is without you! “
Too true!
I just love you!

Waiting
Sat
At where ever it may be
Sitting
Whiling the time away
Waiting
Patiently as time goes by
Resting
Calm and complacent
Waiting

Freeeezzzing
It’s freezing out there today
Nought degrees is what they say
Wrapped up warm hat, coat and wellies on
For a little walk with my Moose so sweet
Making it short so frost doesn’t bite her feet
We agreed time to go back
The cold we just could just not hack
My toes were froze
And so was my nose
Her bare feet on the thick sparkly white frost
Made her move more quickly like a ghost
Onwards home
Into the warm
Hat on head
But back to bed!
Moose is my baby ( dog)  Bijon cross with a poodle

Sooooo cold
Feel the air around your hair
The cold and damp atmosphere
When winter comes the temperature drops
But that’s not really all
The rain comes down
Certain to drown
In flooded fields and roads
The snow you know
Is white and so icey cold
Feel the the surface of where you sat
Where your arms are resting
It’s cold and damp and testing
A blanket is there for you to share
And warm right up together there
Snuggle up it’s warm and so inviting!

The moon and venus
The moon and Venus are out tonight
Both shining bright at just about midnight
A rarity to be able to see
Happens once or twice in year for you and  me
As time sneaks by
the moon In the sky
Slowly recedes
As it proceeds
Around the world
And Venus is curled
Just up to the left
Of the moon in its cleft
What an amazing sight
As they both shine so bright!
As they go on their way into the night!
Feb 2 · 94
Sun and Moon
I swear if the sun and the moon weren’t there life would be bare,

If the birds in the trees didn’t sing to please
The silence would be cutting
If the sun failed to come out
It would certainly be quite gutting

Our world relies
On whats out there
in the skies
The light
The sun
How dark how bright
The stars in sight
The clouds
The sun rise
The sun set
The thunder
The lightening
The rain
The snow
The water helps things grow!


I swear if the sun and the moon weren’t there life would be bare!

Poets long gone
Byron lives on
but died around 1822
a young man of around thirty five
Only just started his life
His poetry was quite alive
He lived at Newstead Abby
A fortunate place to be
As far as I can see
But traveled far and wide so they said or have I lied?
A fortune soul but with a life of toil
Died in his youth
Is I guess the truth!
But his roof
Upon his tortuous head
Is a place of beauty!
So it is seen and said!
Feb 2 · 56
Make me
Make me smile
And I’ll run that mile
Make me laugh
And I’ll dance that path!
Make me sick
You better move quick
Make me cry
I might just die
Make me sad
You might feel bad!



I swear if the sun and the moon weren’t there life would be bare

Optimistically me
My optimism keeps me going
Knowing
It’ll all come crashing down
Sometimes

Pessimism has no place
In my world
Of simple grace
Disappointments I have to face

Sometimes I fall down
Then I pick me up
The vitamins help
With a half full cup
Newstead Abbey was dull and drab
The other day when we paid a visit !
The trees were bear and spindly there,
The flowers all gone, there was not a one,
It looked sad and lonely,
If only, it was summer again, when the place looks alive with flowers and trees and the birds and the bees , when they are happy to please!
The poor place has been beaten and bashed by the wind and the rain ,
I hope it all comes back again !
Hopefully summer will be here soon to heal the wounds of the winter attack !
Beauty and colour will all come back!
Byron would turn in his grave
if he saw how sad his beloved home looks now in this miserable cold and sorrowful winter weather!

Good Night
In the middle of the night
An owl hoots
In the middle of the night
The bat eats fruits
In the middle of the night
The squirrel hides his nuts
In the middle of the night
the foxes are out no doubt
In the middle of the night
The badger returns
In the middle of the night
The pheasants are in the ferns
In the middle of the night
It’s dark and cold
In the middle of the night
A great big warm duvet I hold
Good night!
