A tree is alive Living a life
Do they feel pain and strife?

A tree can out live us all
Until they die or fall

A tree may have feelings
So give them a hug

Talk to your tree
Then you might see

The tree is growing bigger
And more beautiful
Happier
More fruitful

A tree is a living creature
It grows
It knows
But can it see?

Dreaming

We all dream
But don’t always remember
But dreams can be amazing
Or crazy as sin!

I seem to dream
Dreams that I’m in
Of weird and wonderful buildings
I don’t know where to begin!

But the best dream would be
Just floating in a beautiful blue sea
With a golden sandy beach
And a nice warm sun
And a gentle breeze
Just sounds so perfect
This, can I dream please?

Or being with nature
In a forest at night
With fireflies playing
Giving some light!

Dreaming is fun
Even an unpleasant one
Its just like a bedtime story
Great fun or gory!

I always wondered about those twinkley stars
Up in the sky between us and Mars
I truely really believe
When we die we sit upon a star
They say right now they may not exist
They’re dead and gone beyond the mist

But when you look up to the sky
You’ll see those stars all twinkling by
A universe out there up high
That I believe is there but why

The beauty we can see up there
Up in a midnight super sky
What is it I have to Pry
The wonder of the dark night sky!

I feel guilty when I leave you
It’s what I have to do
To go up on my way
I travel to work one day
The next day I return, coming back to you!
On ward Home I do!

I don’t like leaving you
Years to go are few
But as I’m not retired yet
The work is there and I am set
To full fill my working days
And then in time I’ll retire and laze!

And spend all my days with you!

My dreams
It seems
Can be
Wierd and wonderful
Crazy but cool
All mixed up
As a general rule

I dream of unfinished buildings
Crazy hotels
Parking the car
Somewhere bizarre
going to a restaurant with no food
As a foodie that's not so good

but best of all is when I dream
of lying on a beach
on a private island
Eating ice cream!
Sunning myself and smiling!

The poppy seeds are ready
And steady
To plant
And want
To grow
I know
Maybe slow
But
Are afoot
On their way
To live
And give
Such pleasure
A pretty poppy
To see
For you and for me!

You inspire me
With your emotive words of wisdom
You are the key
To my motivation
You help me see
The passion and the pain
Just let it be
Keep up your writing
And your positivity
To all who it is delighting
You surely hold the key!
With love to you from me!

Where does time do, I don’t really know?
It’s flown away like a bird in the wind!
Why does time not last?
It goes so very fast!
It’s now here!
And Then
It’s gone!
Passed!

A sandwich of delight!
You take a bite
And move it around your mouth  and chew
And as the butter,  the ham and the soft seeded bread hits your senses,
A whirlwind of texture,
A taste of delecture,
And then you swallow
and it is gone,
Ok I’ll just have another one!

I love Jack Frost
He’s cool
He’s kind
He’s cold
He’s Refined

He twinkles on the pavement
Glistening and listening
cold but fresh
But I’m not nesh!

I love Jack Frost
He’s cool
He’s kind
He’s cold
He’s refined!

He kills the bugs
That we don’t want
By freezing them
And seizing them away

I love lack frost
Jack Frost is welcome most any day!

Oh bless you
You light up my life
You’re my poetry partner
My inspiration
My elation

You keep me going
Keep me writing
Keep me flowing
In poetry motion
My devotion

Chocolate buttons
Chocolate cake
Chocolate dark
Chocolate light
Chocolate pudding
Chocolate chips
Chocolate dips
Chocolate crisps
Chocolate chews
Chocolate of any kind
That will do!

To write
Is a sheer delight

To see
Is a gift To me

To breathe
Is a relief

To be alive
Is an honour just To survive

Poetry is my love
With thanks to God above!

Credence
To believe is a beautiful thing
To have faith in God our king
Helps you through all you do
And for the many or just the few,
Who have credence too,
Helps them cope and gives them hope,
Helps them down the path of life,
Holds back the toll and strife,
Gives you something to believe in,
Helps you live within your skin,
And evade any mortal sin,
Then in life you will win!
Don’t throw your life into the bin,
Credence choice and now begin!

Violin music
So Heavenly
Puts me in a trance

Violin music
So moving
Makes me want to dance

Violin music
Masterful
Makes me think romance

Violin music
Invigorating
Makes me so euphoric

What a sound
From heaven to the ground !

The Snow
I know!
Snow is falling
The scene is calling
As I watch from my window seat
Having a cuppa and something to eat
The snow is deliciously delightful
The sky is an eye full
The silence it gives off is amazing
It brings a calm and cool atmosphere it’s dazing
That slows everything down
There’s such beauty all around
Peaceful and quiet
Bright and so white
A sheer delight!

The pain in my neck
The fatigue
I need a break

I keep on going
Never slowing
I keep it flowing

I need to slow
But I don’t know how
I go and I go

I sweat
From all the chocolate I ate
Another symptom I bet

I can’t sleep
My cough gets me up
When I sleep deep

I want to retire and write
Even in the middle of the night
It would be a sheer delight!!!!!!

Sunday morning
And the day is now dawning
Up in the snow with Moose
It’s dark and cold out there
And I surely know
The pavement is slippery
So I walk on the grass
Wondering if we should turn around and go back
But alas
We went to the field
And had a lovely big run
Moose’s best friend was there
And they sure did have some fun
They ran and ran playing chase
Having fun having a jump and a hop
Then we were off to the shop
To get a paper for my man
Back home for a cup of hot milk and a gammon and mustard sandwich
And Back to bed while I can!

Little noises that they make!
But they do not wake
When they are all curled up asleep
probably when they’re sleeping deep
The cat wheezes and sometimes snores
You hear her through the open doors
The dog has what I suppose are dreams
And cutely yelps it seems
Her little legs twitching
She’s running or she’s itching
But still she stays asleep
And still she doesn’t peep!
Those beautiful little noises
Are like a bunch of red roses!

My world
Your world
Toes curled
Heads swirled
Ever evolving
Changing, revolving
Sensitisation to your surroundings
Habituation to all that is around
Life’s experiences we all endure
And elation and what’s more
Life is life
The worlds your oyster
Our home, our cloister
This is our world!

I remember as a child
Dads green Land Rover how wild
Think it was mark one
But either way the hard seats hurt my ***
But I would have appreciated it now
Those days I wouldn’t have known how

I remember as a child
Dad taught us to paint
Start at the top
Straight strokes going down
Don’t scrub or go round
Up and down
Up and down

I remember as a child
Mum would say
If we were naughty that day
Wait til your father gets home

My parents were good
But as strict as they could
Without being cruel
Mum was no fool

I had a good upbringing
Mum was always singing
Dad worked so hard
When he off he was in his shed in the yard

Dad was making model train engines
I don’t know where they went
I would have loved to keep them
Cos that was my intent

Dad was a brilliant soul and dad
And mum was a brilliant heart and mum

Sadly they’re both gone to that place in the sky and together they’ll be until the day I die!

The wind gusts and roars
Banging at the doors
Tree branches swinging
What’s the wind bringing
Gates open with force
From a gush of course
The washing is off the line
Hey that’s mine
and it’s off down the road
I’m blowed!!!!!!

The sun rose through the trees
A splash of sparkling orange between the branches
Shining through with an opulent hue
Whilst the mist was rising in the field
Not seen this before, have you?

They say that a red sun in the morning
Is A shepherds warning
Despite it being beautiful to see
A sunset and a red sky
Is the best you can get, but why
They say sun rise and a red sky at night
Is a shepherds delight
Well it lights up the sky
And makes it All right!

I’ve known and loved you for so many years
We’ve had lots of laughter and some tears
We had so much fun Since our friend ship began
I’ll always love you and be there when I can !

Feel the air around your hair
The cold and damp atmosphere
When winter comes the temperature drops
But that’s not really all
The rain comes down
Certain to drown
In flooded fields and roads
The snow you know
Is white and so icey cold
Feel the the surface of where you sat
Where your arms are resting
It’s cold and damp and testing
A blanket is there for you to share
And warm right up together there
Snuggle up it’s warm and so inviting!

The cutting wind
Stings my face
Despite all that,
out walking is ace
Sod the weather
I do it with grace
I love to walk
No matter what
Rain or shine
What ever we’ve got
I’m out and about
Using the feet I’ve got
Keeping my blood flowing
And my face glowing!
I’m out every day
As long as I may!

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

I’ve been waiting and waiting
For the pink cherry blossom tree
To bloom for me
All the other blossom trees
Are a floral delight
Then just overnight
My blossom tree bloomed
Pretty pink flowers have at last loomed
late I know
But they’re beginning to show
What a beautiful sight
My cherry blossom delight!

What a treat
What a privilege

To release Beautiful Little Baby turtles
Without the hurdles
Into the sea
In the Gulf of Mexico
This was heaven to me!

Their tiny little flippers
Tickling my hand like the clippers
This beautiful little creature
Raring  to go to the sea
Made me feel So elated
On the beach in Mexico
One of the best times of my life
This was heaven to me!

What a treat
What a privilege!

Beautiful Grandaughters

You are to me,
The sun that shines!
The stars that twinkle !
Everything beautiful and much more,
I love you all dearly,
Even when you get up so early!
You’re so much fun,
You both swim like fishes,
When we have fun in the pool,
Your drawings and art,
Go straight to my heart,
And when you play hide and seek,
It’s fun to watch you
Now don’t you peek!
You are my little wishes,
Because you’re so cool!

I can dream for my own sake
Of strawberries and cream
Of a rich fruit cake
of all the things I could bake
But think of the figure
Because it’s getting bigger
The chocolate pud
Is not so good
As I am prone
To put on a stone!

Why does the sky have to cry
With tears falling
To the ground
As the sky does weep
In floods of tears
So it appears
As the floods get deep
then the clouds go to sleep
The floods then subside
And out comes the sun smiling
With laughter and fun
Drying up the tears
That were shed from the clouds
That they’d welled up for years
And they all put on a happy face
With sun shining
It’s a beautiful place.

I just love writing poetry
It’s a great thing to do
Putting down words
Fantasy or truth
It’s just like a piece of art
It depicts a picture
From the beginning to the end
And the words will just lend
As to what it will send
And the reader will interpret
How they want to do
So please read my poetry
Because I love you all too!

Love is so powerful
Love is a powerful word
Such a strong little word
Meaning a closeness
A feeling of ease
A special emotion
It can not be measured
It can not be bought
It grows and matures
And can open the doors!
To everyone’s heart! 💓

The morning light after the dark long night
And the fresh morning air blowing in my hair
Is a beautiful feeling
The pleasure I’m stealing
Up with the lark
And down to the park
Birds singing their hearts out
Such beauty without a doubt
A good start to the day
Better weather on its way
As the sun shines down on me
It’s beautiful to see
The flowers coming out
nature so devout
It’s another beautiful day
And it’s now nearly May!

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

People have died and are still dying
Of covid we're crying
But people are still dying of cancer
well there is no answer
It’s sad but true
No matter what we do
We’re not immortal
Sadly eventually we all have to go to the portal!
The portal of mortality!
