On a sad side
What this world needs now is love sweet love
Consideration compromise and care
There’s too much fighting and killing out there
Why can’t they use their brains
And work it all out
There’s no need for fighting
I’m in no doubt
A compromise
Meeting half way
Agree amicably
Is surely the way
Surely the precious lives that are lost
Is an enormous human waste and cost
Innocent lives are tumbled and tossed
There’s no respect for life on this earth
Christmas is a happy happy time
Time to enjoy A tipple or two
mulled wine Will do
Turkey as a tradition Or a goose or a duck
Depends on  who’ll cook
Presents by the Christmas tree
For everyone you and me
Singing Christmas songs
Sat by the fire with roasted chestnuts in tongs
Thinking of all the good things gone by!
She never did tell
That all things weren’t well
She always looked good
Even in a coat with a hood
But behind those closed doors
Were lots of floors
It wasn’t how it seemed
Although she just beamed
And after a time
Out came the crime
Battered and beat
She just couldn’t eat
She Looked so thin
So we took her in
Where she felt safe
and away from harm
Fed her trifle
Kept her warm
Now she’s to face the storm
Bless her
I know she will win!

It’s Christmas
Christmas is coming ever so fast
The problem here it never does last
it’s a time to be together for family
And friends
Time to tie up all those loose ends
Those who are alone
We should give them a home
Then help them on their way
To a brighter better day
Christmas is a time of great happiness and cheer
So let’s all just make it especially this year!
Happy Christmas everyone with lots and lots of love and hugs and kisses from me ❤️

I’m lost
I’m lost
The cost
(Miles on the electric car)
I’m cold

It’s dark
I park
(Getting stressed)
I stop, I rest

Sat in the car
Not far
Near by
( so sat nav says)
Oh my days
But where’s
The place

I bang at a door
And ask
Great
They know
I go

And there
A beautiful place
I face
It sure was worth the wait !

The Dark
I so dislike the dark
Because I can’t see
If I can’t see
Im lost

Domestic abuse
No one knows what goes on behind closed doors
What some people go through for years and years
It brings me to tears

When it’s a friend
You want to rescue them
Take them under your wing

But it’s not enough to just care
Specialist care is what’s needed there
Professional help

You can only advise
To be wise
And hope they find their way
And pray!
What we need
Is a little sun
To make us smile
To warm our hearts

A little snow
On the tree tops
And rooves
To set the scene

Holly trees
Full of red berries
And Christmas trees
With pretty lights

The Christmas spirit
On Christmas night
Lovely pressys under the tree
Christmas songs for you and me
The best things in life are free
I think maybe a song
A hug I send to you from me
So you keep on going strong
A smile may be
And a happy song
These are all just free
And to know that you belong
With all the love from me
I’ll sing a happy song!
the best things in life are free!

The Wind in the west
The west got it worst
The wind was really cursed
Damage and destruction
A threat to life they say
Seventy miles per hour
And that was yesterday !
Dec 8 · 239
Weather warning
There’s a weather warning out
The wind is going to clout
They say it’s the west
But it came unto the east
It has a name, the beast !

Well the rain came down
Luckily we didn’t drown
Heavy though it was

Then the wind attacked our garden
Turning over furniture
Moving Buddha quite a way
And that was only yesterday

I hate to know what next
What will it do today?
The wind makes me quite nervy
Everything topsy turvey
Indoors I think I’ll stay !
Dec 8 · 46
Let the wind go free
My husband says
Stop eating those sprouts
It’s windy enough outside
Without gusts of wind inside

He goes on to say
Hello brown
Are you coming down
The rest room is this way

And he asks
What’s that odour
I do for tell
It’s the cat

A silent killer
An angry gust
Boy the cat
Must eat some rust
Sorry to be so rude this poem is quite crude but hope it gets some laughs

Only love
Be careful what you say and give
Only love
Be careful what you do and give
Only love
Be careful how you react and give
Only love
Be careful what you wish for and give
Only love
Be careful what you think and give
Only love

Sleepy
My eyes are sore
I need to sleep
And dream a dream
Oh so deep
I close my eyes
It’s so quiet
As I drift
Into slumber
And sleep!

Inspired
The wind blows hard today,  blasting the trees!
And the rain is here to stay, washing the ground!
It’s like Mother Nature is angry and trying to blow us all away, like a hurricane, I’d say,
But amidst it all, the grass is greener and the trees wave their leafy green arms,
The sky is bright with thick white clouds
And play their part like a massive shrowd!
The evergreens are celestial,
And the Meadow grass grows far and green,
Which sets the scene of the rich green colour
In the meadow garden!

Love and peace
It costs nothing
To love
It takes nothing
To have peace
It achieves nothing
To destruct
The wind and the rain
Is going to cause chaos today
So the weather people say
Danger to life
For those I pray
Floods
Broken trees
With all that’s going on in the world
This we don’t need
Mother Nature must be angry
At how we abuse the world
Why can’t they stop all this fighting
Is all Mother Nature pleads
We should live and cherish our world
It is a beautiful place
What the world needs now
Is LOVE!
I can’t believe in this advanced technological world that people are still fighting and killing! There is no need! Negotiate compromise and work it all out! Use their brains they were born with! It’s just an excuse to be  destructive
Dec 7 · 27
Wind
It’s a dark dark morning
And the wind is blowing a gale
Too many sprouts my husband says
He said I’ll blow him away!

Squirrel
I filled the bird seed carrier today
But hey
I put the coconut half out to hang
On the feeder
What a little bleeder
A squirrel took it away

Love is powerful
Love is powerful
Love is great
Love gets rid of anger and hate
Love is ours to give
Love will help us live
Love is all we really need
Love one and all and love indeed
Love gets rid of all the hate
Love will put the world in a better state!
Our world our planet worries me there’s so much destruction!
The world needs love! ❤️
I love you all 🌹
Nov 27 · 37
Or What?
What is this world coming to?
Fighting, killing and destruction is not the answer!
Surely there could be some compromise
To come up and rise
Above the death and destruction

Mother Nature is fighting back
Volcanic eruption
Floods and all
Do you hear her call?

The world needs to calm down
The world needs love
The world needs respect
Or what?

Little by little the world will destruct
If we all don’t respect one another
And love one another
And respect the earth we stand on
And love and cherish our world!

Or what?

Love one another
And respect our world!
Or what?
It’s horrendous all the fighting killing and destruction surely with our advances there could be some compromise and unity and peace! Love is powefull  and should be shared we should help each other share with each other and calm the beast ! Compassion and compromise
Let there be peace or the world we know will cease!

I believe
I believe
In God Almighty
I believe
In prayer
I believe
In love
I believe
He’s there
I believe
I believe there is some higher force power but I also believe in being positive and prayer ! my best friend is a very strong believer and prays  to God and has faith and it has kept her going through stage 4 cancer , the strength she has is amazing! I only wish my prayers be answered to win big on the lottery so I can help the homeless and other charities and people who need help ! Incidentally if anyone needs help I am a qualified hypnotherapist and do it for free and have a BSc in Psychology so message me if you want to talk ! Love to all! 💗🌹💗

Money
Money
It’s not that funny
It buys bread and honey
And when it’s sunny
It’s free
You soak it up
You see
Money though
As you probably know
Slips through our fingers
The debt still lingers!

The Snow time
The snow has come
Just when I needed it
Beautiful, white, thick snow on snow
Staying home you know !
Time out , time off
Time in
Snow
is so beautiful
Don’t go
For a little while
While I look at you
And smile
Through the window
At the glistening white
Large pretty snowflakes
They’re the best!
Day and at night
It looks a delight!
Nov 20 · 34
Testing
Life’s just a test
We don’t all get it right
But is it a quest?
And do we have to fight ?

I believe we are tested
We do our bestest
We chose our path
No don’t fight,  just compromise !
Nov 20 · 33
In jest
My husband makes fun when I say no one wins the lottery they’re all actors
And That’s what I believe
Until I see it  I just won’t believe it!

My kids say I’m a hoarder
My shoulders are broader
I’ll clear up one day

My friends say I try to help everyone and neglect myself and my health
Maybe I should listen to
Them

So I might tidy up
Have a rest
And hopefully win the lottery
But Is it all in jest ??????

Sorrow
When someone has sorrow
And needs to just borrow
A hug from the heart
Well that’s just a start!

Give hugs And support from the heart!

Stressss
They say stress , oh yes
is what we do to ourselves
self inflicted
And that you can be in control
don’t let it get you!
Tell it to go!
You are in charge you know!!!

Stress is a feeling
That gets you up
And  helps you get going
But stress can mess
With your emotions
Your mind
So try to be kind
To your body and mind
Send the stress away
Before you turn grey!

Flowing
The poetry in me is flowing
About things I’m knowing
The emotions
The stresses
And Peoples life’s messes!

Domestic Abuse
She lay there
On the bed
She looked like a corpse
Battered and bruised
Yet again

He sat down beside her
And into her face
He said she was his
And this is the case

He strangled her softly
As she lay there
Unconscious
He planned to **** her
If she didn’t submit

He wasn’t going to share her
In this world or the next
But did he really care?
He’s a ****** I swear!
Inspired by a recent friends horrific abuse!

Oh how I like poetry
Poetry is an art
Straight from the heart
Expressing our feelings
thoughts and appealings
Painting that picture
With words on the paper
Like
Giving off a vapour
Of a scented candle
And
Taking a deep breath
When you’re able
So
Get down those words
Talk about the birds
Or
Life as it is
Life as it was
Poetry is perfect
For R&R
It’s there when you need it
You don’t have to go far!
Oh how I love poetry just so relaxing!

This world
Our world right now
Is suffering
Disasters
Wars
Politics

What can we say
Here’s another day

Our world right now
Is struggling
In nature
In nurture

What can we say
Here’s another day

Our world right now
Is dying
Slaughtered by warmongers
And mismanaged by politics

What can I say
Here’s another day

Stop fighting and killing start listening to each other, come to a compromise and respect one and all!

What can I say
Here’s another day

This world will be ending because it’s now bending and heading for a fall!
From Mother Nature with disasters to managing the ruling of the world and all!

What can I say
Here’s another day!
Not sure if this is pc????

In need, indeed
And when a friend is truly in need
You take them in and under your wing
Now they’re freed
From the harm
Somewhere safe
Somewhere calm
But beneath it all
They need care and someone to call
Special kind of Support but that’s not all
Emotionally and ****** but it all takes time!

I wish to stay
I don’t want to leave
This beautiful place
It’s peaceful and relaxing
But I’ve got to face
After our holiday
It’s back to base

Back to reality
Back to home
Back to work
From whence I roam

I wish
Do dreams come true?
For some they do?
After our holiday
It’s back to base
Back to base I have to face!

Back to reality
Back to home
Back to work
From whence I roam
Inspired by this perfect holiday house in Mawnan Smith Cornwall! Just perfect! I want to stay forever here!

I am and was
At 40 life began
Went surfing and bought a supra sports car
The fast and furious one
At 45 I remarried a wonderful man
Still together like birds of a feather
At 50 we stayed at Rick Steins , I’m a fan
At 55 I bought a bungalow, yeh I know!
At 60 we had a party to celebrate
To get this far and not be late
At 65 I’m still alive,
I am !

The Passing
I arrived just in time
He was on his way
In his wife’s arms
I wrapped my arms around them both
She was in a panic not knowing
I told her he was going
and was on his way
He finally passed away
it was such a sad day
Happy I could be there
To give my love and care
I used to be a cancer care nurse and this situation was quite common, very emotional, ! A lot of sadness! Bless!

Way Hey
My poetry and prose is coming back
Way hey
It’s raining hard I need a Mack
Way hey
It’s gone so dark it’s turning black
Way hey
If it keeps on raining I’ll start to quack
Way hey!

My Throne
I’m writing poetry on my throne
You didn’t really want to know that
It’s quiet here
Infact the silence is hissing
Oh that’s my tinnitus
The bulb has blown
So it’s dark
It’s peaceful
It’s cool
It’s quiet
Nice!
He he I really do have a throne, it was from our re enactments days our friend gave it to us when they moved house! I love it!

The sky at night
And in the darkness all alone, I sit outside on the garden seat looking up at the stars,
Wondering what’s out there,
We know about the milkyway and mars,
And I can name but a few twinkly stars
Pluto, Saturn, Uranus, Jupiter of course mars
There’s satellites, of that we know
And the odd aircraft  flying low
But what about the UFO
Or things out there that we will never know ?

Dark so dark
This morning it was dark , so dark
Not a sound abound not even a lark
I looked out but there was nothing to see
The black velvet darkness
was there in front of me
Like if I’d closed my eyes
and gone to sleep !
Think it was the contrast of seeing the hunter moon on previous nights , it just looked exceptionally dark!
Oct 20 · 26
The Hunters Moon
The Hunters moon was amazing
It lit up the sky
It had me gazing
I wished I could fly
But I wouldn’t try
My heart was racing
Looking up high
In that beautiful sky
Just simply amazing !

It’s celestial
There’s so much green in our garden
From the willow tree to the bamboo
The apple tree , the holly bushes and the tomato plant
Not to forget the butterfly tree
It’s all celestial to me!

Love you
When I’m dead and gone
“I want to come back as a dog in your house”
Is what my man would say
Comfortable warm and cosy
Walked, fed and loved every single day
Cuddles, kisses and lots of games to play!
Oct 17 · 31
To my special friend
You’re in my thoughts and prayers
I love you so very much my friend
We’ve known each other for many years
I know it’s near the end
I’m holding back my tears
Remembering our memories I send
Don’t hold on to the fears
And although I can not mend
I’ll be there to wipe your tears!
My very special friend has stage 4 cancer so she’s terminally ill!

Not Knowing
Not knowing
It’s the not knowing that is scary
Sometimes it’s best not knowing
Am I being lairy?
Is it better knowing ?
I guess choice can just vary
To what we need to know
What we want to know
And what we will never know!
Not knowing!
Oct 17 · 39
Dying and Gone
Life is not immortal
Life ends and we leave through the portal
But we all want to hold on
We miss all those who have gone
And departed from this world

It’s a frightening concept
But we have to accept
We don’t know what’s out there
Belief helps to bear
Our fate and our fear !
Oct 17 · 56
Sleep is a need
I need sleep
We all need sleep
Sleep is wonderful
Dreaming is better
Look at the story
The narrative of life
We sleep and dream
Of things unseen
All mixed up
With a bit of this a bit of that and the a bit of the other
Sleep is a need
And we all need sleep!
Oct 17 · 211
Life is limited
I haven’t done much poetry lately
Too much going on
A sick husband and a very poorly friend
I need to care for whilst they are there for
Because life is fickle life is frail
We’re not immortal we can fail
Nothing lasts forever
It’s like a feather
It floats, it’s fragile,
But for a while
We can live
And we can smile!
Make the most
And run that mile!

The Moon at five
I see the moon glistening through the trees
What a beautiful sight
And it’s still actually night
It’s five in the morning
Before the day starts dawning
Everyone and everything is sleeping
It’s quiet, it’s dark, and today it’s wet
Well that’s the scene that I have set
I need more sleep
Or I’ll be in a heap
So back to bed to rest my weary head!
What a beautiful moon it was glistening and sparkling through the trees
