So tired
Why
So tired
Need
To sleep
Can’t
Keep awake
I fall
Asleep
So deep
I snore
And sleep
A little more!

Write more
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!

Tree respect
I ask
How difficult
A task
It would be
To grow a tree

Did you know
A tree has needs
Like you and me

And their roots
connect
I believe that’s
Correct

And they can live
Many years
Watching us all
Come and go

A tree
Is so special
Special
To me!

Dolphins
Dolphins
are beautiful creatures
Their skin
feels smooth and firm
They’re strong
They’re clever
They’re fun
They play
They talk
To each other
Dolphins
are beautiful creatures!

It’s hard
When we’re apart
Our souls are as one
youre always in my heart
You keep me going
When life is slowing
But when you’re no there
I worry because I care
Leaving you alone
Only talking on the phone
One day I’ll retire
And we can be together

Turn around
Turn around
Don’t walk away
Stay for another day
Don’t let go
You are loved You know
Fight the good fight
And stay
Turn around
My friend has stage 4 cancer and I feel she slowly going on her way I just want her to stay just for another day

My little lhapapoo
All curled up in a ball fast asleep
Cute and cuddly dont you peep
I hear your deep breathing next to me
I think you're dreaming is what I see
As cute little whimpers, I can hear
your little legs start to move my little dear
still asleep my little one
chasing cats or rabbits , now they're gone
all in your dreams whilst you sleep
Cute and cuddly don't you peep!

Up with a start
Sunday morning
Up with a start
The cat jumped on me
Nearly stopped my heart
The dog barked with shock
Good heavens it’s only 7 o’clock
Not time to rise just yet
A bit more sleep to get!

My mum
Tears of salt
Stream down my face
As I open my Imaginary vault
I do it all with the upmost grace
As I look at my wonderful mother
Her face
The picture of mum my sister and brother
black and white
Mum died not that long ago, I love her so
I miss her
I miss our laughs
I miss her humour
I miss her fun
she was a wonderful mum!

Needs
Needs
I’m dry
Wet my mouth
I cry
Wipe my eyes
I bleed
Patch me up
I fall
Pick me up
I am hungry
Feed me
I’m lost
Find me
I am here
Just need me!

It is my breakfast

Good Morning
The cool air
Feels like water to my toes
The sun it out
And brings out the sparkle in Every living thing
The trees, the leaves and the grass
Are being showcased by the sun
The garden is quietly alive with a gentle breeze
Today I think is going to please
it’s going to be a lovely day
I feel it in my bones!
Yet it’s so peaceful and quiet
So calm and relaxed
As everything slowly wakes
The day is dawning
And here it is
A very good morning!
54 · Sep 2020
Hello
Hello from me to all of you
One of the things on my bucket list
I'd really like to do
Is to meet you all I would insist
We'd have a ball and read our poetry too!
Hello Poetry is absolutely awesome! Thank you so so much!

SMILE
Smile it makes one feel the love
Miracles are made of love
It s a special thing is love
Love is all we need
Every smile shows some love!

You lift me up
You lift me up
With your half filled cup
You make me feel
like the real deal
You put your happy face on
You tell me jokes just for fun
Through your eyes the sun shines
As we eat tomatoes off the vines
As we watch the sun set
And the rain comes down and we get wet
But most of all we’re together
And that you know I don’t regret!

It’s the circle of life
It’s The circle of life

Every living thing is born
On this planet
And every living thing will die
On this planet
We know it’s the circle of life!

An apple pip grows into a tree,
Some giving us apples to eat,
Some sour some sweet
It may live for a while but eventually die,
The animals in the wild are born to live their lives but eventually die,
Our pets come as kittens and pups into our world,
But eventually die
Although we cry
It’s the circle of life

We all come into this world
Be it a bug or a slug or some kind of creature
It’s the circle of life!

Lure
Lure
Lure you’re a star I’d say
Even though you’re far away
You give me hope
Which helps me cope
And Encouragement to write my poetry
You are
A poetry buddy
And a lovely friend
With thanks and love
I surely send!

Small Mercies
Small mercies!
But the sun still shines,
and we still have sunrise,
better yet, we have sunset,
but its good to be alive!

Your love
Your love lifts me up
Ever since you were a pup
Unconditional love
A beautiful love
Your love is lifting me higher
In front of a beautiful fire
Where night turns to day
I only have to say
Give me a love
And you’re there!

Time goes too fast
Why does time go so very fast
When you’re having fun it just doesn’t last
When the sun is shining and the air is clear
Down comes the rain oh yes it’s here
When that cake you’re eating tastes so good
It gone within minutes as I know it should
When I think back twenty years
Of my youth it brings me tears
And I think forward in only ten years
I have my upmost fears
I’ll be in my seventies!

Waking up after lockdown!
Waking up after lockdown
Life was getting a bit like, can I say ‘groundhog day’?
Where everything was the same each day,
The monotony was getting painful and boring,
And life didn’t seem to be worth living!
And then suddenly lockdown was lifted!
There’s a world out there!
Places to go!
People to see!
Still some restrictions but staying safe!
But what a change in life?
Enjoyment had gone but it’s back again!
Life is for living,
Life is for fun,
Off out right now for coffee and cake,
Meeting a friend now I am awake!

The waiting room
Sat.....
Waiting and wandering
Time is ticking
The pendulum swings
Bouncing on the springs
Someone calls a name
Next please!
Up now standing
Off we go!

-VE to +VE
With every Rose
Cometh a thorn
Quite true I suppose
As it goes

Nothing but nothing
In life is perfect
And can we say it is worth it?
I guess, I guess,  I should say yes!

They say
Good Luck follows bad luck
Statistics say, To win the lottery
You’re more likely to be hit by lightening

The lesson here
Is the power of positivity
Cup Half full,
Optimism is not dull
Just pick yourself up and try again!
We all get down sometime! But we’ve just gotta pull ourselves back up!

Bones
Bones
Bones can break
Bones can mend
Bones don't bend!

Bones in our body
Keep us in place
without our bones
our bodies would flop
straight to the ground we're likely to drop!

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????

We’re only human!
We’re all the same
We’re only human
No one to blame
We’re only human
Equal in our fathers eyes
We’re only human
Colour and creed are irrelevant
We’re only human
we have but one life
We’re only human
Past is past
We’re only human
Love for now
We’re only human
Love, be kind and live for now
We’re only human
There’s a brighter future for us to see
We’re only human!
Did you know we’re the only species that preys on our own ! Perhaps animals know more than we do! ‘‘Tis them who are intelligent!!!! Who are we?????? Animal stick together and support each other!

My Body Guard
You are my bodyguard !
It isn’t hard
My confident !
To make me feel Safe and secure and so content,
My one and only!
I love you more
My rock!
And more
My soul mate!
Each and every day
Please don’t go
Please stay forever
That’s what I pray!

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!

Behind closed doors
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!

My sun!
Hey the sun is out today!
I didn’t even have to pray!

It lifts me up,
It makes me feel good
Charges my batteries,
Makes me feel alive!

If the sun shone everyday
I’d be in heaven may I say!

It lifts me up,
It makes me feel good
Charges my batteries,
Makes me feel alive!

The sun is so great
I bathe in it, my fate!

It lifts me up
It makes me feel good
Charges my batteries
Makes me feel alive!

The sun lifts me up,
It makes me feel good in every single way!

It lifts me up
It makes me feel good
Charges my batteries
Makes me feel good!

It’s makes me feel
Better than I’ve ever been
Better than any other day!
It lifts me up,
Makes me feel good!
Could be a song?

Dreaming
Close your eyes
And go to sleep
Feel your spirit rise
Take yourself deep
into the skies
Take a leap
Where your body flies
Don’t you peep

Now you’re dreaming
Fast asleep and very calm
So it’s seeming
Floating the clouds with outstretched arms
A sheer delight You’re beaming
Hearing angels sing their psalms
Now the sun is streaming
Your body warms!

And down you come
To a gentle sleep
Out of Rem where
You were only dreaming!
51 · Jul 2020
Zapped
Exhausted
Zapped
Drained
Two steps forward
One step back
Walking through treacle
Time to chill
Time to sleep!

Feelings and Thoughts
Feelings and thoughts
Thoughts and feelings
Good thoughts and bad
Best that you had
Be mindful, be thoughtful be true to yourself
Consider others but look after your health
Negativity *****
Positivity hooks
Don’t make assumptions or assume something bad
Because if you do you will end up sad
Stay positive and happy
Or just remain sappy
And love yourself
As you would anyone else!
Were all the same
No ones to blame!

My Body gaurd
Six feet two
Build like a brick wall
But that’s not all
A heart to melt you!

He’s so kind
In the early days
We wined and dined
And had Fantastic holidays to Mexico!

So happy together
Thought it would be forever
But now my body guard
Has fallen hard!

He’s a poorly man
But I do what I can
I give him my upmost love
I take care of his every need
I love him and care
I try to be there
As much as I can
Because he is such a very good man!

Nothing lasts forever
We all eventually have to go
But I’m holding on tight
Because he’s such a delight
I always think things will be alright
We’ll always be together
It would have been forever
As I thought
But that was all thrawt!
Nothing ever stays the same
Things come and go to pass
Life is but a game
But In it’s own shape and mass!
Theres an Inevitably
to what’s going to happen
What will be will be

The Sun
Is it a sin
To want those rays on my skin
Feeling the heat
Nothing can beat
Basking in the sun
Soaking it up
And when I’m done
Turn over
Soak up some more
I just adore
The sun!
50 · Oct 2020
Thank you
It’s warm and cosy
Soft and smooth
Colours are pretty
Like a golden yellow
Is the blanket around me

The feathers of a duck
Sometimes get stuck through my pillow
It’s soft and gentle where I rest my head
The comforts a delight, and feels so mellow!

I appreciate lifes beautiful treats and treasures!
Of comfort and warmth and all its measures
And thankful for all I have and hold
From the Very new to the very old!

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!
50 · Jul 2020
Just for you
Just for you

Look at the beautiful green trees and leaves,
They make you smile so I believe ,
And when the sun begins to shine,
Open your eyes you’ll feel divine!
Laugh a little at the chirpy birds,
We wonder what chirps mean in words?
The flowers are all pretty and bright!
Until the nights comes and is no longer light!
Never feel alone!
There’s always the telephone!
Laugh a little!
Smile a little!
You are alive!
You will survive!
I love you! ♥️

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!

Inner peace
Find yourself a quiet place
To sit down and chill
somewhere safe within
to relax as you will!

Take a deep breathe in
and breathe it out slowly
Relax, calm and peaceful be
have some inner peace for yourself just wholly!

The thing to do next is in what you will see
Close your eyes
and look inside your lids
It will be no surprise, when you close your eyes,

You might just be seeing black
or you may see some colours
Oh I take that one back
You may also see shapes!

Keep breathing in and out
keep very quiet
And do not shout
now what you should do,

is take yourself to a place in your mind
what you will chose I don't haven't a clue
somewhere safe
somewhere for you!

Go to the place of your inner peace
Where wonderful things will never cease
Be kind to yourself
And look after your health

Relax now and let it be.
I give you inner peace to you from me.

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 ?

Hey!
Hey
When I’m old and grey
That isn’t that far away
They won’t be putting me in a home
I’ve decided I will roam!

So off on a cruise, back to back,
Take in the views, eat and snack,
Sit in the sun, have so much fun
Enjoy the shows, anything goes!
I’ll have the time of my life,
Before I die,
There will be no strife,
so don’t even cry!
I’m making the most!
Before I’m a ghost
And enjoy my life whilst I am alive!

Life’s up and downs
They say stress is under our control
But life’s ups and downs
Spin you round and round
Making you dizzy
Making it harder to play
So press the button
Tell it to stop
Sit right down
Before you drop
Think just for a minute
Of calmness and peace
Take five
Will help you survive
The stress
That makes the mess
Of your life
Stress now Be gone
Now that you’re free just carry on!

More Sleep
My eyes sting
I need some sleep
I’ll close my eyes
And off to the deep
Dark world of dreams
Nothing is what it seems
But it’s Where I am free
to explore
I snore
I sleep
So deep
I want more
More sleep!

We Pray
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!
