So Tired
Dear mind
I know you’re not unkind
But sometimes
You have to unwind
And so you will find
Down comes the blind
As you shut your shutters
And your head mutters
Let me sleep
Let me rest
My weary head
I’m off to bed!

A beautiful sky
Five in the morning
Is the best time
When I’m yawning
To sit outside
And look up to the stars
Pluto Venus mercury mars
And all the other pretty stars
Twinkle down at me
It’s so beautiful and I’m lucky to see
The mysteries of the sky
And all the things that we can see!
I’m grateful of!
Then when the Dawn starts to come
And the sun is rising
The sky is a beautiful colour
And the clouds are amazing
It paints a picture of delight
When morning comes and goes the night!
Early morning
And so so dark
Winter time
Has made its mark
Much less light
Down comes the night
And in the morning
It takes more time dawning!

Darkness and light
Early morning
And so so dark
Winter time
Has made its mark
Much less light
Down comes the night
And in the morning
It takes more time dawning!

Those stars?
Oh the stars are out tonight
As usual a lovely sight
I could sit and watch for hours
But the neck becomes so  tight

I see what maybe an aircraft
Like a dot in the sky
Flying quite fast
As it goes by

Or could that be a drone
As I sit, observe and watch fly
I light the sky up with my phone
And hope it’s not some alien craft

Sixty six
Now I’m 66
An OAP
I can do old lady tricks
Like jumping the queue
Like old ladies do
Like being rude
And getting away with it
Even crude
And naughty tricks
They say mud sticks
But not when you’re old
So I am told!
Two dogs
Ones a guest for a few days
Two cats
Neither are ours, not phased!

Poo on the floor ( guest) last night
Alright
I cleaned and disinfected
It’s gone
This morning
*** all over the kitchen floor ( guest)
Thank goodness it’s ceramic tiles
Wiped up and disinfected
I’m done

Cats turn, I discern,
Puke all over the floor by the living room door
Thank goodness we have a laminate floor
What’s more I do adore that laminate floor
Cleaned up disinfected
I’m done
And it’s only breakfast time
I’m right put off
But
We love them
I’m done

This morning
I brushed the dogs
I brushed the cats
I cleaned the floor
I fed the cats at 5 am
Walked the dog
Home again when
Fed the dogs
Sat down
I’m done!

Later
I’ll scrub the floors
Wipe the doors
But for now
I’m done!

Tomorrow
What’s ahead?
What’s afoot tomorrow ?

Will it be happy
Or Will it be sad
Will it be good
Or will it be bad

What’s ahead?
What’s afoot tomorrow ?

What will we do
What will we don’t
What will it be
Tomorrow

What’s ahead?
What’s afoot tomorrow ?

What will we might
When gone is the night
What will it be
Tomorrow!

What’s ahead
What’s afoot tomorrow ?

Sometimes
Life throws us things
We don’t expect
Sometimes

They make us feel sad
Sometimes

They are not so bad
Sometimes

They’re good
Sometimes

Sometimes
Devastating beyond belief
Causing disbelief
But nothing lasts forever

Sometimes it’s our position
To forgive
And reposition
Or changing our decision

No one knows what is beyond
And how things turn out so wrong
Or something changes for the good
Sometimes
I wrote this in response to a friend who recently had some shocking news!

The beauty of the sky
Where are the stars tonight
The sky is covered with cloud
I hear aircraft in flight
And they sound pretty loud

I miss seeing the beautiful stars
It’s a lovely feeling
Because they’re ours
Something for us all, and so appealing

Sight is a beautiful thing
So much pleasure it can bring
Especially looking up to the sky
Someday I’ll go when I die!
The wind is blowing
So hard that it’s throwing
All kinds of things around
Some landing on the ground
Like fences, and branches from trees
It’s rushing
It’s gushing
It’s pushing
It’s fighting,
it’s blighting
It’s biting

I’m scared
I’m scared
Aren’t you?
What’s this world coming to?

I love you all
I love you all
And hope you love me
Because in this world
Which has been bashed and hurled
It needs us all to love each other
To love and appreciate this world
Which we were given implicitly
From the almighty with his love
Stop destruction stop the killing
Stop the devastation
Spread love over the world
Wouldn’t it be good to have some peace
Please let the fighting and killing cease!
Sep 15 · 482
Love let live
Love
Let us live
There ‘s a future
To give
Let love be
To live in harmony
A beautiful world
It could really be
If love was out there
Because love is free!
Sep 15 · 31
Peace please
If we all stand together
And ask for peace!
Will this fighting and killing cease?

Write a poem
And offer it up
Pray to our God almighty
For peace in this troubled world
Save the hallelujah to the end
When The almighty angels send

If we all stand together
And ask for peace!
Will this fighting and killing cease?
Sep 15 · 33
Let’s all pray
Let’s all pray
Before comes the day
Of another war
Let’s hope not, I do implore
We ask our almighty
In his deity
Stop this madness
Stop the badness
Bring us peace
Once more
Protect us all
Is what we call
Save us now
As we bow
And ask for peace
Once more
God Almighty we do adore!

Oh that wind
Oh that wind
Is harsh and cruel
Takes no captives
Is no fool
Blows you out
Takes the fences
Takes the bins
Take whatever
The wind just wins!
Sep 15 · 47
Every waking hour
Every waking hour of the day
We pray
To save the day

No more war
We do explore
What’s before
Please no more

Every waking hour of the day
We pray
To save the day

Why can’t we all cease-fully
Live together peacefully
Enjoy this precious life
Without so much strife

Every waking hour of the day
We pray
To save the day

Give love to one another
If no one should bother
Tell your friend and your lover
A Better life to discover!

Every waking hour of the day
We pray
To save the day

Every waking hour of the day
We pray
To save the day!

This Morning
This morning the wind is ferocious
The weather precocious
******* flying around
Bins down on the ground
Doors slamming
The weather damming
There was a warning
But wasn’t for the morning
It started last night
Loose things in flight
This morning

Good Advice
People say life’s not like that
And you’ll see they’re right
Nothing is perfect
Take the rough with the smooth
Do your best
Life is a test!

But to get along in life
You have to earn respect
Give respect
Be honest and kind
Love one another
Just as you want to be loved!

When help is needed
Give help where it’s due
Look after each other
Life is short
The years are few
If you only knew!

Without you
Without you
What would I do  
Without you
No longer under your wing
Without you
What would life bring
Without you
I’d no longer want to dance and sing
Without you
I’ll still wear your ring
Without you
No rock to lean on
Without you
You’ve stolen my heart
Without you
I’d need a new start
Without you
I don’t want to part
Without you

Last night
Last night

I saw a shooting star last night
Sitting on the Garden seat
It was a truly was an amazing sight
What wonderful treat

Only To find today
it wasn’t a shooting star
It was a meteorite from a far
into the night and
It broke up into little pieces
And those pieces landed in Scotland !
An rare earth event
Came and went!

Wet wet wet washing
A sunny morning
Out goes the washing
Sun shining
Giving off a warm glow
Of a beautiful day
The warmth of Sun rays
One of those washing days!
Then but oh then
Opened up the heavens
The rain came down, then more
Oh And then more
Wet is the washing
I do implore
Oh no and more!
It all fell to the floor!
Everyone needs love
And everyone needs to love
Everyone need someone
and someone needs everyone
Humans can’t survive alone
Everyone needs someone
Someone and everyone
Needs someone to love!
Aug 28 · 219
No Matter what
No matter what you do
No matter what you say
Even when I haven’t a clue
I love you anyway

No matter where you are
No matter how far away
I’ll drive there in my car
Every single day

No matter what you ask
No matter what you need
I will meet the task
For our love to just succeed !

Me - meek and mild!
As a child
I was meek and mild
But we used to play in the triggery!

It was at the end of our road
called Peacock Avenue,
Which was tree lined and really nice!
And we used to live right next to the dead centre, The cemetery

We’d bring lotsa pressys back for Mum
Like a duck and ducklings
A newt
A rather large dragon fly
Various cats
Until she said no more

She’d say take that back now
In a bit of a fluster
We didn’t know
she was really not that keen on nature!

Spirits
In the dark of night the spirits roam,
They’ve been away,
Now they’ve come home ,
The candles flicker ,
And the moon is bright ,
Feathers drop from a height ,
Silhouette shapes are seen on the wall,
The spirits know just who to call!
Aug 19 · 69
A spirit in our midst
The lit candle shines so brightly
But that’s not all
the flame stretches up so slightly

a spirit is in our midst
Who it is I do not know

Do you get the gist
The candle has been kissed

I wonder just who it is
A spirit in our midst !

Depression
Every one gets low sometimes
No one knows how another feels
Unless they can describe it easily
And handling it well it slowly goes
But for some who suffer clinically
The depression just grows panically
The mood is low, no where to go,
The cloud comes down as they drown
That’s where they need some help
To help them cope
Medication one would hope
Counselling can do
A bit for you
Then there’s CBT, light therapy
And other treatments out there
And talking to someone who will care
Patience is the key
It’s hard to be the other ones
To see them suffer
When this ghost train comes!

On my own
I used to walk for miles on the cliff side alone
Looking at the sea and stepping over adders on the pathways on my own
Watching the buzzards above me sailing on the therms
It was quintessentially very quiet with not a soul about
I wondered what lived in the bushes
Could it be the Bodmin beast because he can run and travel far
My mind would wonder out there yonder
And sometimes fear would come quite near
But the beauty of the open air and being there
Would replace my fears I’d had for years!
This was remarkable and somewhat beautiful
But alone I was missing something in my life
Humans need other humans to keep them alive
And then without looking I found my love
He made my life complete!
Silently, silently Go in peace,
Feel the beautiful air Upon your face!
Walking in a forest of woodland and green,
There’s so much beauty to be felt and seen,
Such beauty you really can not replace
Breathe, breathe in the air and embrace
A scene, Where the air is fresh and clean
in this beautiful woodland space!

Respect
I questioned why criminals aren’t punished
And this is what they say,
I was told they only have their freedom taken away ,
For we are not to judge they say
We have to respect one another
No matter what they’ve done!
Will they ever learn
To respect us too
I haven’t got a clue!
But some do!

I worked in a prison as a nurse
No it wasn’t really a curse
I showed my respect
Didn’t ask what they had done
We all got on delightfully
In fact it really was quite fun!
Aug 19 · 30
Hope
There’s hope in the air !
Because I put it out to prayer!
I asked the almighty to listen to my worries,
I talk to the elders ,
And leave it with them ,
I have faith ,
I have hope,
That’s the only way I can cope!
I am Christian and my husband is a Pagan!
And between us we try to make things work,
We light the candles,
We set the cauldron ,
We pray that another day
Will give us hope
To help us cope
I love so many things about paganism
But I believe in the almighty
Putting them together
I can see much more brightly!

Ten am!
It’s only ten am, but then!
And I have already walked the dog,
Fed the cats, And fed the dog!
Had a shower that was a wow(er)
Lovely dovely, nice and clean,
Been shopping , I’m dropping, not stopping
Made a stew, Pugh , tastes good too,
Made an apple and blackberry crumble
I hear my tummy rumble,
Had some toast , with lovely butter
The dog had half, I have to mutter,
And some coffee, iced cold but  good for me,
Made my husband a cup of tea,
While he sleeps in front of me
And now I’m back to bed to rest my weary head and have it said
I’ll have another sleep
Before I end up in a heap!

Woe is us!
So why is life just full of woes
Problems come and a problem grows
Doesn’t help the ethos here
In fact both of us we just shed a tear
Sorting problems can take a while
But when it’s done we might just smile!
Our energy company said we didn’t exist 2 years ago , since then they tried charging us £7k which we don’t owe ! Now they’re trying to charge £500 a month ! We are 2 older age adults in a 3 bed bungalow, don’t have lights on at night , use candles, very careful what we use!
I keep saying they’re trying to charge us for the school nearby! It’s so incredibly stressful! They refused to put a new meter in like the ombudsman told them to! So it goes on ! Nightmare!

My garden
The butterfly
The bee
Live here with me
In my natural garden
I’m sitting on the decking
Feeling the lovely breeze
Watching the nature
Sure does it please
The robin has just visited the fat *****
For a munch
Wasn’t breakfast must be brunch
The holly has lots of green berries
And honeysuckle is growing a treat
The bamboos taken over
But it is very sweet
The weeping Willow has spread far and wide
Great to play, a place to hide
The grass has grown
But the path does lead
To the man cave and the shed
Hiding behind the greenery!
From here it is such lovely scenery!
And the budleigha is in form
With beautiful colours of purple and cerise
A treat for the eye to see
Hope they increase!

He is
He’s a pagan
He’s a wizard
He’s my star
He makes me feel good
He’s my rock
He’s my world
He’s my everything
We are both on our second marriage, I only wish I’d met him sooner! This year is our 20th wedding anniversary! He’s 72 and has end stage heart failure and respiratory failure but he’s been my rock and bodyguard and makes me feel so good about myself! I’m so lucky to have him!

The Doggie walk
We walked and walked this morning
All around the block
That’s me and my Moo
We met lots of other doggies
She had to say hello to them all
That’s why our walk is more like a crawl
She loves to say hello
To everyone one that passes
Lots of cocker poos but none were actually lassies
Moo is like a cocker poo but she’s a Bijon  frise poodle cross or Heinz 57
Or that’s what is said she was!
But she is really heaven!

Nice
I once got a birthday card
That was so precidiuos and precise
It said if no one saw me eat
there were no calories in it, that’s neat,
It told me if I was given a chocolate bar
Again it was calorie free, ha ha!

A storm is brewing
The sky is white with cloud
Like a covering of a shroud
The trees look dark green
Not bright when the sun has been
Every thing is still in the garden
Tis still and staid and star done
Oh Mother Nature I beg your pardon
Is there a storm coming our way?
I asked Alexa and she said not today
But I feel spots of rain
It’s just too calm
Calm before the storm they say!
I think it’s on its way!

A natural garden
The garden is a haven
For butterflies and bees
For wild flowers and trees
The birds come by
For a piece of pie
And the squirrel comes
With or without chums
For the suet *****
And the pretty plump robin calls
Sharing the *****
If the squirrel’s not taken them all
The weeping Willow has grown
it’s like a big green gown
The bamboo has gone rife
It’s all come to life
In my natural garden!
The kids where I live
Just don’t care
They smash things up
And leave their writing there
They don’t respect authority
They don’t respect property
They don’t respect anything
The litter they leave
Is somewhat to grieve
I wish they’d grow up
And just leave!
Noisey cars!
They think they’re sporty,
They think they’re cool,
Silly boys,
You don’t fool,
The noise,
Need to get their exhaust fixed,
Hey but they're not hurting anyone,
Unless they drive fast!
And run someone over,
Dam and blast!
It’s just the noise,
The peace it just destroys!

Where is the sun today?
Oh where has that sun gone today?
The clouds are grey!
But the airs ok!
I was hoping to go out to play!
With the sun on my skin.
On the sun lounger I’d lay
So where is the sun today?

Grief
Don’t give me grief
Find yourself a wreath
I wanted to be green
But instead I am red
They drive me senseless
With what they do
I just hope it turns around on them too
Karma I believe
And I hope they receive
And hopefully they will get their just deserts
Especially so , just where it hurts!
Sorry the naughty kids where I live, in the past smashed my fence, the police said don’t confront them they’ll knife me! Believe me they’re really naughty! All I can do is hope they get their just desserts!
Shame there’s no discipline for them!
I wrote this poem a while ago !

A heat wave
It’s a heat wave
But I’m brave
Turned the jacuzzi down to thirty
Nice and cold
Oh I’m bold
I got in
Like a fruitful sin
And immersed myself
In the cool water
With the jets going well
And the sun beaming down
It felt so good
It felt so cool
It felt so nice
As sun plays a dual
It’s hot
So hot hot hot
We shouldn’t moan
It’s summer is it not?

In the hedge row
In the hedge row
Lovely juicy blackberries grow
The nettles are unforgiving
But push them aside
And find where the blackberries hide!

A nice apple and blackberry crumble
Is worth crossing a bumble bee
But go careful
Pick them careful, where he can’t see!
Make a spell
But only for the good
If you tell
It’ll be a dud
A wishing well
Would be very good
Drop the bay leaf in
And wish away
Light a candle every day
Get a cauldron
Pop in the rice
Drip the bay leaf oil in
Smells rather nice
make a good spell
For the best
Then you can make your one bequest!
This is just an amazing quest!
I just love it!
