I’m always tired
I need to sleep
Except when I have a monster drink
I’m hyper hyper
Wide awake
And when that tasty melon flavoured monster drink wares off
I’m always tired
I need to sleep!

I hate the sound of bouncing *****
Sirens going and unwelcome calls
Naughty kids causing damage to fences and even walls
I hate to hear people shouting and rowing
Fighting and balling

All I want is a bit of peace
Please just let the fighting cease!

I thank thee for the sun
It brightens up the darkest day
I thank thee for the rain
It feeds  trees plants and flowers in our terrain
I’m grateful for it all
The wind may call
We have it all in our summer

But in the winter
I thank thee for the snow
Because you know
I love it so

An Autumn breeze is so nice
When the golden leaves just show
And when they drop
A carpet of golden leaves will grow

But spring is beautiful
When the little lambs are born
Bouncing in the fields
Together but never fore-lawn

The sun shines
And takes the pain away
Brightens up a dull dark day
Warms the cockles of your heart
With a bright blue sky
And no clouds in the way
I think it’s gonna be a lovely day!

A chopped  up apple
A small satsuma
A glass of iced water
Is my idea of bliss
On a hot summer day

When you have time on your hands and need to do the mundane things like paint the wall, brushing the astroturf cleaning cupboards,
You just don’t wanna do it!
So just ***** it!
When the washing that’s just dried needs ironing you don’t feel like it, sod it I don’t care! It’s just too hot out there!
So off to bed where it’s cool
With a glass of sparkling water
and I know I ought to
Go to sleep!
So I write poetry!

Up at 4 am walking the dog,
Just walking because I don’t jog,
Feed the cats when I get in
Back home to bed
with a cuppa and toasted bread
Back to sleep
Usually deep
Up again about 11
That sleep was really heaven
House work to do
Washing cleaning too
Make some lunch or call it brunch
Tidy up
Get out a dish and cup
My other half arises
There’s no surprises
Chair all ready, cup of tea
A dish of porridge
But that not for me
I’ll have salmon and scrambled egg
We discuss the weather
Then he does the Alexa quiz just as ever
Usually gets it right
He’s clever you know alright!
But on the days I work
Up at 4 just like before
Get ready for work
That’s the score
Leave at half past four
Off I go
Back the next night
Tired and ready to sleep
No problem it’s just once a week!
That’s me!

Up at sunrise
Nice and cool
The air is fresh
suns like a jewel
Bright and beautiful
Rising high
Up there in a morning sky
And as the day begins
The heat increases
As the sun shines bright
it’s hot today
And was through the night
Bring out the ice
And The fans that’s nice
Maybe a cold shower
It may help for an hour
Keeping cool
When it’s hot hot hot!

Do they really hate this world and planet so much
That they need to destroy and destruct
Hurt and ****
Do they think they own the world
Because they never will
So just stop the ****
It’s not Gods will
God is powerful
God is strong
They need to see they are wrong
It will all be taken away from them
What’s the point
Surely all they are doing is destructing the world , which is a planet and our world
The world can be and is a beautiful place
With beautiful people
All they want is just to deface
What’s it all for
They’ll never live forever
There will never be any good from fighting and killing destroying and destruction
But if they can come to a compromise and stop, and save this world and planet
And see what a beautiful place it can be!
Let there be peace in this beautiful world!
Live together in peace and harmony!
Love one another
Maybe then they won’t see hell on earth
They’re not immortal or immune
It’ll affect them too and quite soon!

Let us have peace
Just never let it cease
Let us have love
It comes from God above
Let us have support
For each other we ought
Let us have joy
Stop those who just destroy

All this fighting and killing should stop
This day and age there is no need
Why can’t they just from the top
Discuss, compromise agree to disagree is all we plead
We don’t like to see people bleed
It’s all about greed
They’ll never succeed
Let the innocent be freed!
Stop this unnecessary fighting
Or you’ll all be hit with lightening!
All we want is peace
Let now the fighting cease!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

To all the poets in the world
Keep on writing
Keep that pen going
Share what you’re knowing
Write to your delight
Day and night
Enjoy
Give joy
Keep it flowing
Keep on going
Write the good right
Use insight
Just write ok
Until the break of day!

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!

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!

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

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?

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
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
