I heard a growl beside me
Shadows by my side I see
The dog started barking
Has something stared sparking

I felt a draft of air on my arm
I know they’ve done no harm
It felt theres something near
A ghost or ghoul I fear

I checked around
But there wasn’t any sound
Everything was quiet and calm
Whatever, it is, it’s done no harm!

Ghosts never scare me
but goosebumps I could see
There was something quite strange
Around me, or in my space or range!

Ghosts are welcome here
I do not  have a fear
We’re happy to just share
I haven't got a care!

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!

She grew up in Poverty
She was Sad lonely brat
Told me about her childhood
But wasn’t just that

The horrific stories
She has told
Make your hair stand on end
Lo and behold

But she grew up strong
And fought the good fight
But was it still wrong
To end up a lady of the night

At least she got by
Lucky not to die
But her sad stories
They did make me cry!

The birds and the bees and the butterflies in the trees
The willow hangs over the garden !
It so enormous that,
It’s magnificence I have to pardon!

The trees in the field
Are huge and old
So I am  told
And so I can see
From their enormity
Are beholden to their beauty !

It’s the simple pleasures in life that keep us going, that I am knowing!
The Early morning  fresh perfume smell of flowers in the early hours,
That peaceful, calmness and quietness on a Sunday morning, when the day is dawning,
Whilst walking the dog, I’m in a fog,
Time to ponder, to think, through that black ink,
And this all makes me feel, the real deal,
It’s the beautiful things that keep us going and simple pleasures, the seeds are sowing,
The plants are growing,
Makes me appreciate my life, despite any toil despite any strife!

It’s 03.30 in the morning
The air is fresh but not too cool just right for the night outside!
It’s hot inside.
The fan is going !
The air is flowing!
No air con!
Not got one!
And everyone and everything is sleeping but Moose and me!
She is wide awake and there’s no telling her!
I tried, believe me !
But she kept tap, tap, tapping me until I got up!
But It’s time to sleep!
It’s quiet except for the very odd car passing by and my belly making noises!
Sam the cat passed by on top of the fence walking back and to, like a centurion on guard!
Sam finally came in followed by Moose!
I thought, great back to bed! But oh no, no she’s off out to the back again having a ****** snack!
Snack now sorted and she’s having a chew!
Nows the time I need the loo!
Well it’s five past four!
And what is more I need to sleep!
So back to bed!  
I need my bed to rest my tired and weary head!
And you know Moo is back in bed before me!
Hmmm I see!
That said it’s all gone quiet!
That’s fine,
Sleepy time and I won’t be up before nine!

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!

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 see it in your eyes
There’s no surprise
The glow from your soul
And the love on the whole
Is deep within
Just let us in!

No one is born bad
I know that you’re sad
It’s the damage from without
That caused the doubt
but now you are changing
Into a beautiful soul
With love in your heart
And good on the whole!

Oh

Oh the ☀️ sun is out today
But tomorrow they actually say
It’s forecasted to☔️ rain

Oh if the rain comes down
Tomorrow
I won’t be wallowing in sorrow
The plants will get a drink

Oh but it’s never really that simple now
We really have to vow
It’s more likely to be a storm

Oh the temperatures will drop
The rain will need a mop
And we’ll need to wrap up warm

Oh so when will the sun be back?
If never I couldn’t hack
I’d give Mother Nature the sack!
Oh!

One
One word
You may have overheard
One life
You May have caused some strife
One soul
You could have met your goal
One minute
You may have been in it!

One smile
You could go the extra mile
One love
A life you could improve
One word
Could make you better heard
One kiss
It wouldn’t go amiss
One shove
You could rise above!

no peace
No rest
No respect
No love
No life
No care
No help
No good
No hope
No world
Gone

Low
So what do you know!!!!!
I’m feeling so low!
I’m only human so there you go!
Just like anyone else friend or foe,
We all have feelings in tow,
Things happen in life,
Causing so much strife,
So come on with the pick up!
Chocolate and cheese, oh yup!
A glass of fine wine or a cup,
of coffee laced with spirit to sip!
So I’ve just gotta say
I’ve got to get real!
And just deal
With how I feel
Face my problems front on
Let the Gitts know they haven’t won!

The sun is out
And with no doubt
The sun is powerful today
It’s hot hot hot
But do you know what
A siesta this afternoon I’d say
Just cool down with a glass of ice
Pour in the water
That’s so nice
Walked the dog at 6 am
Before the ground got too hot
The dog, the guest dog and the two cats
Who also aren’t ours are all asleep
Keeping cool from the heat!

Why do plants have to die
My Christmas tree
Is No longer with me
Its pines have turned red
I think it is dead
The lavender bush
Its branches all wizened not lush
Like it used to be
I don't know what happened
But its happened to me
It could have been the blast of the sun
Too hot, well it was for me
Then all the rain
It just didn't drain
And drowned my babies you see!

They got me up at five
I didn’t feel quite alive
The dog went out for a wee
The cat threw up on me
Then I made a cup of tea!
And now I’m very sleepy!
Back to bed for me!

It might be raining

It might be raining but it’s a beautiful day
The plants get watered
So what can I say!

My affirmation as I state
I’m grateful for all I have
The love from my man
The love from Moose, my baby
The things I have
The things I love
Especially God above!

And I am worthy
I believe I really am!
I need to win the lottery
Really , if I can!!!!!
I can wish
I can pray
The big prize would be nice
On any kind of day
I’d make everyone around me happy
I’d help those less fortunate
And those indeed in need!

But I guess everyone else wishes the same
For that I can not blame

I’m grateful
I’m worthy
That’s all that I can say!

“Tales of love and life
Spoken by gentle candlelight
subtle shadows dance
In candles flicker
Gin in hand
Future lives are planned! ”

Off to the field with Moose
So she can run around loose
She met a little friend, a fellow terrier
And ran around together
Sniffing each other’s derrière
Cos that’s what dogs do
She had so much fun
She didn’t half run
Until it was time to go
Back on the lead I know
We trotted back home quite slow
And then back to status quo!

I woke up to the rain
I felt it in my bones
I feel it in my brain

The rain is here to stay
Yet another day of rain
And thunder forecast today

The plants have already been fed
Too much rain now
They’ll End up drowned or dead

Too much of anything isn’t Very good
So they say
And from where I’m stood

Bring back the sun
To warm my bones and brain
And give the plants some fun

It’s so hot right now
Sweat rolling down my brow
Can’t complain
We have had rain
But it’s hot again

Oh how nice
It is to have a glass of ice
Ice packs under my arms
Ice packs in my palms

Can’t complain
Had some rain again
Thunder followed To be fair
But it hasn’t really cleared the air

We always desire the sun
But now I desire the cold
Iceland here I come
I’m still hot despite the ice packs that I still hold!

As I walk down the road,
Quickly, quickly as fast as I can,
I should have ran!
Sweat pouring down my brow,
Getting so hot right now!
Breathing faster,
This I will master,
Steps increasing,
The calories releasing,
Getting there,
Breathing out hot air,
A heart rate increase,
But arrived and all in one piece!
I'm there!!!

Chocolate I like a lot
Nuts especially mixed or hot
Popcorn with butter and salt
Chunks of cheese yes please
An olive or two will also do!

On the  other side of the moon
What is there on the other side of the moon?
Is it hot or is it cold?
What is there?
I do behold
Is there another human race?
That we eventually
Have to face?
Are there plants ?
And Are there trees?
Do they have summer?
And a winter freeze?
Or is it somewhere we all go
When we leave this planet?
Do we really, want to know?

On a positive note in May in lockdown 2020

Waking up to a sunny day can’t be a better May I’d say!
We’re still alive and live to see another day, despite what’s going on.
It’s now May and the grass is green, the willow tree and blossom are in bloom,
Thank goodness for a garden it’s like another room!
We don’t know how long this lockdown will go on for but it’s to keep us safe, so keep your faith !
Stay safe and well.
And we’ll be here another day
to tell,
The tale of the entity
Of lockdown in 2020
Written in May
On a lovely day!

Why
Why do you cry?
When life can be good
Work at it hard
I know you could
Fight the good fight
Get your head out of the mud
Get out there
Don’t stay where you’re stood
Try a little harder
You know that you should
Help yourself and achieve
Then life will be good!

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 !

True and lasting love
Starts with friendship
And a blessing above
The friendship is so strong
Friends start to bond
Then soul mates are formed
romance loved and unharmed
Romance into commitment
Deep and lasting love
Is the true nature of love!

Right for spite
Left for love
Ears burning
Who cares what they say!

Stomach churning
Belly burning
Acid reflux
Drink some milk it will help!

Head turning
With a spin
Dizziness
Rest, relax, Its all within!

Yawning
Warning
You're tired
Go to sleep!

You're lovely
Your unconditioned love
Is just wonderful
You make me feel so loved!

You're so cuddly
Your cuddle is so nice
Its delightful
You make me feel so warm!

You're here with me
You're such good company
You're awesome
You make me feel so good!

Everyone and every living thing in this universe
Matters in life,
Everyone no matter who or what in this verse
Needs love,
We all need each other
And need to live in harmony!

Everyone should just stop for a minute to think or even bother,
And feel the love
Like the trees do,
The butterflies and bees do
And the flowers and seas do!

We are all alive
And a long time dead!
Be kind to each other
Watch what you say and think what you said,
Only speak  of good or just don't bother,
Think twice, and be nice to the living,
Consider your friend, stranger, sister, brother,
By being kind, thoughtful, loving and giving !

The wind is like
An angry tyke
Rattling and shaking Everything as it goes
Dashing down Allie ways
In its temper like throws
Knocking over anything in its path
Travelling along in its wrath
And when it is done
Everywhere windswept when it’s gone!

Wind Inspired

I feel the wind upon my face,
It’s blowing like a gale in space,
It’s cold and harsh,
It hits you like a hammer!
I’m waiting for the sun to shine
It’s trying it’s best to break through the clouds in time,
When Will it come out and play again?
The trees are waving
Furiously in the wind,
My fear is if they fracture,
Their lovely branches,
of green and luscious leaves !
Need hiding from the vicious wind ! And very naughty nature!

Now I’m getting old
I’m getting old and grey and need more sleep,
I nod in the chair, as I drop my book,
Now half read, as I dream of a more youthful look,
My eyes were once smooth, now the shadows are deep,
I need more sleep!

But he used to love my moments of grace,
And my youth that was, was so true,
But my man loves me as I am believe me do,
And accepted my ageing changing face,
As I slowly age with simple grace!

Yes, yes
to success
Tried and Did it
Got there, eyes lit
Excited
delighted
Success
Yes

Up early in the morning
Peaceful and quite
As the day was dawning
Squirrels running down the road
Birds singing in the trees
Bit of sun and a gentle breeze
The sky was blue
As the aeroplanes fly by up high
In a cloud free sky
It’s going to be a beautiful day

Butterflies in a natural garden
Birds tweeting and competing
The flowers are blooming
The garden is green
It’s lovely to be seen
Such beautiful nature
As it blooms and grows
And the grass still grows!

There’s one thing about nature
We would all just agree
Is it’s  beauty ,
It just does it for me!

Take my hand and
hold me
Take me for what I am and
Love me
Because all I want just now
Is You and me
stay with me now
Just For me
And I’ll stay with you!

Hold me
Love me
You and me
Just For me

Take my hand
Take me for what I am
Because all I want is you
Stay with me now
And I’ll stay with you.

Oh my
What happens when we die
No one really knows
Do our souls float up to the sky
Passing the clouds so high
Making a journey above and beyond
Up to the heavens
Hearing beautiful song
Do we get to those golden gates
To register all our fates
Then are we free to roam
Coming back down to our home
Visiting loved ones if we could
Or doing ghostly hauntings Sounds good
Then leave to follow the light
Back to where there’s no day and night
And join the angels in the sky
Is this what happens when we die?

Life is so precious
Life can be short
life is for living
And so we should ought
Time to build bridges
And put behind us fights we have fought
Be tolerant and patient
Remember good things were taught
Life is so special
And life is so short

Waiting
Debating
Equating
Not knowing
Wondering
Worrying
Will it be good
Or will it be bad
Will it be happy
Will it be sad
The unknown
Being in limbo
what will it be
The result
The conclusion
A delusion
Bad news
Good news
Just Waiting!

Young sweet dreams
A kiss a cuddle on an icey cold night
Sat on a bench
Too young to be right

Stars were shining
But it was so cold
The fire in them after wining and dining
Kept them warm

Time would tell
With this young pair
But the fate was they fell in love
To their parents despair

They married had children
As young as they were
They didn’t look into the future
Life wasn’t fair

They finally split
Because he was a ***
He’d had an affair !
