In an anxious world
Stop and Try take a deep breath
as you count to ten
Block those anxious thoughts from your mind
Say the words calm, relax, and peace
Take time out and rest
Go somewhere quiet and somewhere safe
Get comfortable in a place
Take slow deep breathes and calm
Close your eyes and rest your arms
Look inside your eyes and see colours or just black velvety
This anxiety you will crack
Just don’t worry you’ll come back
Relax and rest it’s not a test
Take your imagination to a nice safe place
A beautiful beach with soft white sand and the sun shining through with a gentle breeze or a gorgeous garden where it’s always warm and sunny where you can smell the roses and the beautiful flowers where you can sit on a bench and relax for hours
Or a forest full of beautiful trees and the sunlight shining through
Whatever you want
You just do!
Visualise and take time to enjoy
Make this your safe place
When there’s trouble
You have to face
Do it with grace !
Get yourself to your safe place!
Close your eyes
Hypnotise!

Early rise
On a dark dark day
Stars in the skies
But a sky so black and grey

A freezing morn
As breaks the dawn
As a new day is born
Ice on the lawn

Snow on its way
So they say
Tomorrow and today
And there it will lay

It’s so cold out there
Good to stay inside
You can smell the air
So go snug up and hide

The bees are buzzing
Honey have you heard
The grass is greener
On the other side

The birds visit
For their seed and fatfood
And there’s a squirrel
Who likes his coconut halves

The sky is red at night
This is shepherd’s delight
It’s peaceful and quiet
In the natural world!

Sleep
Beautiful sleep
Deep
Deeper than deep
Dreams
Beautiful dreams
While I sleep
In a beautiful sleep

Another world
Another place
Another time
I’d have pictures of Monet on my wall
A massive room where I can dance
I’d have it all!
I’d have a ball,
I’d stand tall!

Tomorrow is another day
Another year
We would say
It would appear
New Year’s Day

Another year is born
The old year gone
Not forgot and not forelawn
And now its done!

We can’t go back
But onward forward
Down the track
Away and off ward

A New year is blooming
Time is just zooming
To a bright new year
And now it’s here!
It would appear!

It’s mine
I have long desired
It was meant to be
Just for me
It’s mine

It’s mine
But that’s fine
It’s mine
None else’s
But just for me

It’s mine!

I’d like to skinny dip in a warm open sea
I’d do that  just for me
I’d like to sit in the snow
In a hot tub you know
I’d like to hug all the trees
In the sun lit forest oh please
I’d like to go where the sun shines
And soak it up with a glass of Sauternes wine
That would be divine
I’d like to go cold water swimming
I think it might be slimming
I’d like to dare and do something brave
I’d like to dance on the dance floor
Like never before
I’d just like to!

The clock is ticking
Soon the Omaze draw
Some lucky person
Will get the key to the door
It’s the one that we want
And we want it just more

Let’s hope we’re lucky
I beg, I implore
To win the brilliant
Omaze draw!
Because I want it more!

This morning I woke up early , I’m on it,
With a bee in my bonnet
Working through my washing pile
As it diminishes I have to smile
Dishes next, empty the dish washer
And put them away so much posher
The tumble dryer is wild by now
The clothes are even drying wow
I’ve cleaned the pots and pans
The sandwich maker, the air fryer and fans
The kitchen floor
And what’s more
It’s all clean
It won’t stay like that
It’s all there in my dreams!

I love poetry
I want to write more
Writing is just
Something I adore
A few lines
Maybe more
Can be less
But yes
Oh bless
Can be short
Could be tort
With rhythm and rhyme
No matter what
It’s just divine!
And all just self taught!

The words are a wonderful
When we positively pray
Say it Anytime
Night time or day
Say it in A poem, or  a line
We’ve just got to pray
Whatever we want or desire
You’ve just got to say
Prayers aren’t always answered
But maybe in another way
So don’t give up hope
There’s always another day!

Perfect peace
Don’t let it cease
Silence is golden
Only to beholden
Time to relax
Time to unwind
Time to snooze
Without the *****!

The holly bush has a few red berries left
Where the robins visit from their nest
And enjoy the suet ***** and the dried up worms I’ve left

The squirrel has gone no where to be seen and has taken the coconut half
To feed his family I guess!

Oh yes but it’s quiet, peaceful and still in our winter garden!

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!

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 !

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 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 !

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 !

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

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!

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!

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!

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!

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 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!

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 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!

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 !

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 ??????

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!
