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.

It’s just emotion

A feeling
In your mind
You’re dealing
with, of a kind
a part of healing
one might find

its just emotion

mood is an emotion
a sort of sensation
strong feeling or commotion
could be elation
sentiment or devotion
within ones own station

its just emotion

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!

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!

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! 💓

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!

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!

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

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!

I dream of a bright blue azure sea
on a hot sunny day
Feeling the warmth of the sun
and the touch of the waves
the salty taste of the sea
covering my body so gently
As I bask in the water
Floating peacefully!

Those beautiful lions show so much love to each other like sunshine and warmth!
They support each other with their love,
A mother ape feeding her young despite her strength she’s so gentle to her baby!
She cares about her family,
An elephant gives birth to her baby and she waits patiently for her baby to get up and feed,
She knows that’s what she has to do because her love is true!

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!

Purple Flowers
On the bowers
The colour made up of red and blue
A beautiful smell and Awesome hue
A colour of passion
A kind of fashion
A purple pleasure
To admire at leisure!

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!

I danced to the music
In the moonlit sky
the fireflies danced with me
as the night drew nigh
the air was fresh and cool
the firepit was burning logs for fuel
the bats were flying across the garden
the owls screeching I have to pardon
the feeling was of freedom
in the beautiful garden of Eden!

The origins of life
Now was it Darwinism or Adam and Eve or could it be an alien who left us to breed?
Any which way we evolved !
Even if we came from a seed!
The real question is did we come from the ashes?
And in time do we go back to the ashes?
And how did we form down from our nose and eye lashes?
The big question is the origins of life?
Where did we come from and where do we go?
I simply can’t tell you because I just don’t know!

Pick me up
Make me smile
Laugh with me
For a while
Make me happy
Don’t be sad
Think of all the good times we have had!

How very very sad!
From the news that we have had!

We’ve lost a Prince,
And Duke of Edinburgh
A good and special man,
He was loved by all
who knew him,
A wonderful wonderful character ,
And the loveliest of man!

I do believe there’s something disturbing the ether! I do implore! Could it be next door ? I think they’re smoking a ******?

I’m beat
The heat
But Can’t complain
Beats the rain
Feeling drained
I’m zapped
I need ice
That would be nice
And To chill
Literally at will
But that sun is hot
The air is steamy warm
Just like in Mexico
When we used to go!
But at least there
They had storms
ThT clear the air!
So I’ll jump in the jacuzzi
When I’m not feeling so woozy!

The frost was glistening on the ground
this morning
like lots of little coloured stars all around
the air was very cold
it was silent, there was not a sound
Icy cold but the sun was shining
after our walk we were homeward bound
to warm and cuddle up all cosy
Back to bed with my hound!

Positivity

The world could be a better place!
Smile at someone with a happy face ,
Be kind and full of grace,
To Love one another would be a good base,
Consider others who you have to face,
Meet them with a kind embrace,
cheer them up if that’s the case,
Slow down and reduce your pace,
Remember we are all the human race.

One day
just any day
Far into the future I pray
I’ll flyaway
far away
And leave my love here yesterday

ill be an angel in the sky
I’m meaning  the time when I die
But Please don’t cry
Just watch me fly
Into the sky
High above high

To the stars
The moon or mars
Floating on the clouds
Wearing shrouds

But I’ll miss you
And I’ll wait for you
I’ll be Sitting on a star
Far above far!

Just find me
I’ll be there
Waiting  to share
Eternity with you

The piano should curb his drinking,
his necktie needs to wake,
Combo come back you're making a really big mistake,
The juke box, well just keep your fluids away
or the juke box won't live to see another day.
The carpet needs a cleaner,
And the spotlight needs a dusting,
The telephone should stop smokin'
Unless he needs a bustin'
And give the balcony a break !

I hear an owl out there
It’s hooting loud and clear
I guess it’s only hunting
I guess that’s why it’s here
I’d love to be able to see it
And take a picture snap
But it’s so very very dark
And my photography is crap !

The moon shines down onto the lake
Your smile takes away my every ache
The honey bee buzzes collecting pollen from the flowers
I sat watching them for hours and hours!

The rain falls down upon the deep green leaves
And as you look into my desiring eyes
The beautiful birds sing with glee
As you float in my dream as far as I can see!

Please don’t ever leave me
If you do I will miss you
And one day you'll find me in heaven
And we’ll be together for all eternity !

Sunrise over the sea
Horizon between sea to sky
Let’s our spirit free
To be able to see
The sheer beauty
Of the sun, deep red and orangey
The feeling is so beautiful
Of the wonderful image
Coming from the sky
Spirits rise
Delight to the eyes
Feelings good
At sunrise !

As the day turns to night
I fall asleep
I dream of things
Like angels with wings
Of innocent beauty
Doing their tireless duty
Our Guardian  Angels
Keeping us safe
I do believe
I do have faith
It’s A Guardian  Angels duty
Along with their beauty
caring for us Whenever they can!

Everything on earth is moving
Including you and me
It’s time that keeps molecules together
As far as I can see
Solid ground beneath our feet is all an illusion to you and me
That’s how it has to be
But when it all crumbles or erupts
Like a volcano or an earth quake
The particles you can see
Diffuse and even shatter
And we get hidden in the walls
There’s may be a parallel universe
Moving in a different time and space!
Sadly we have to face!
So much for the human race!

My poetry and prose is coming back
Way hey
It’s raining hard I need a Mack
Way hey
It’s gone so dark it’s turning black
Way hey
If it keeps on raining I’ll start to quack
Way hey!

Your love of which is my desire
lifts me up and takes me higher
It Makes me feel I'm floating on a magic carpet
Plays with my head makes me feel woozy
In a good sort of way without being *****
And all my senses go astray
Like its just another day
A perfect day, I would say!
With your love!

I am so tired
My brain is unwired
The neurones are not firing
I need rewiring
I need plugging in
Just like an AI
But I wonder why?

Nows the time
to love one another
A hug and a kiss doesn’t go amiss,
To cherish each other’s lives,
To lose someone near is something we fear,
To support each other,
Be there and show you care,
To be Patient with each other,
And Tolerate at this time,
To consider each other,
Meet half way it will save the day!
To help each other,
Do what you can forget what you can’t.
Lives too short, love one another as you ought!
It’s time to forget the anger you get!
And go forward with love and peace in your heart,
Make your world a better place,
And those around you too,
To yourself be true!
Nows the time.

The celestial profecy is a beautiful thing

The celestial profecy is a beautiful thing
To see such enlightenment
Could just make you sing
It lightens life up
No matter what your belief
It makes you feel brighter
And gives you relief!

Eyes wide open
Take a Deep breath
Feel the beauty
In life and in death
Bright vivid colours
Beautiful things
That’s celestial profecy
That’s what it brings!

Yesterday
What a splendid day
The sun was out to play
So there I lay
In the garden as I may
Oh but did I pay
Too long, I did stay

I caught the sun
My face is red
Excuse the pun
A burning head
The deed is done
I'm off to bed!

What a cold and frosty morning

The sun is shining
It’s early in the day
It’s a frosty morning
In my bed I’d like to stay!

But out we go
The dog and me
And as we know
She takes me!

We trundle round the block
There’s quite a few of other walkers
Not the crisps variety, nor even stalkers
The dogs all walk their owners!

But it’s fresh
It’s bright
Im nesh
And It’s now light!

And when we return
I’m back to bed
It’s my turn
Once she’s fed.

By Theresa Hartley-Mace

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!

A winter Beach

I Went to the beach in winter
Clambered over the pebbles
Down to the sand
And it couldn’t wait to come up to meet me
It was rough and bounding
Like a big bouncy dog
I jumped up the side
Like a big floating log
Then the waves rolled back
And I just bolted up to the pebbles
To a safer retreat
Watching the sea and its beauty
Is a real treat
To me!

Dad you were to me
A good father
Although you are not here with us now
you're sitting on a star
with mum there by your side
we'll never forget you
And we still love you dearly!

A Bacardi and coke
Not so bespoke
But nice with ice
I really wanted a
*** and black
Now that, I could hack
Twice as nice
Again with ice
I barely ever drink
But here’s what I think
I couldn’t sleep
I needed a treat
It fit the crave
So here’s a wave
I’m off to sleep!
