Nearly May
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’ll be there when I can
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 !

The Seasons are changing
The seasons are changing
The air was cool this morning
But the sun began to shine
It’s coming Spring now
And it is really quite divine
The subtle smell of scent
From the flowers and trees so fine
Was really quite endearing
Spring its way
I think this is the sign!

It’s snowing again
The snow is coming down
in massive snow flakes
To a ground of wet sleet
As the birds are on the table
Because they need to eat!

Garden of Eden
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!

Snuggle up
Come snuggle up with me tonight
And I can stroke your velvet hair
Together we will be alright
We will breathe in the air that we share
We’ll snug up nice and tight
And sleep all snug through the night!

Love is so Powerful
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! 💓

Emotions
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

What we need is Christmas
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

A penny
They say
‘Find a penny’
‘Pick it up’
‘Then all daylong you’ll have good luck’

I found a penny
Placed on my bed
I don’t know how it got there
I thank the entity who left it
For them I really care

I hold the penny in my hand
I will not let it go
Until I find who left it
For that I’d like to know!

What a lovely gesture from I don’t know who
Someone really loves me and whoever I love too!
It’s strange but wonderful I came back from walking my baby ( dog) Moose, my husband was fast asleep and there on the bed was a penny,  a nice shiny copper penny!
I will cherish it because that alone I am grateful
How lovely!
Whoever left it
I love you !

Mortality
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!

The Bucket list
When I retire
All this I desire
Lots of walks in the park
Cruise on the sea
Cold water swim
Afternoon tea
write a book from within
Fun trips with my family
meet up more with friends
Visit different places
And see what life sends
Not much I desire
But I’m still a live wire
Let’s hope life takes me higher!
Because I am a flyer!

As a child
As a child
I thought there were tigers under my bed
Ghosties round the room
A dragon at the window
A puppy on my head

We used to walk to the twiggery
and bring my mum a gift
we had a duck with ducklings follow us
And a water rat, oh drat

My mum sent us
to take them all right back
We put the cat in the pram
and caught a dragon fly

mum couldn't cope with it
so she took Prince ******, aye
especially school holidays
my poor mum she did sigh!

Dreaming the dream
Dreaming is an awesome thing
Astro dreams are the thing
To go just anywhere
Anyhow
Anytime
Any place
Then come back
And remember
You’ve dreamed a dream!

I love you all
I love the natural things in life
I love all the good things in life
I love when you pick me up when I fall
I love when you make me laugh but that’s not all
I love that you are tall
I love that I am small
I love to hear your voice when you call
I love you all

Tired
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?

Purple flowers
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!

Here and now
Here and now,
This minute in time
This second
I feel the cool air on my face
Blowing gently
I hear the wind
I feel the wind
And the damp atmosphere
Which surrounds me

Here now
This minute in time
I see the sky of grey
It’s a miserable day
The rain now spitting at me
As if to say
Go away

Here and now
Going home
To dryer climes
In front of a warm fire
Drinking coffee with cream
And a slice of strawberry cheesecake
What a dream
Here and now!

Sleep
I close my eyes
And I see shadows of what was before me
And now it’s black
Don’t look back

The black is like velvet
I touch it’s soft pile
And I smile
It’s all in the minds eye

I relax
I enjoy the escape
It’s all in the imagination
Now try
Enjoy, now sleep!

Nows the time!
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.

Theresa Hartley-Mace
In the light of the corona virus I wrote this poem!

Domestic abuse
No one knows what goes on behind closed doors
What some people go through for years and years
It brings me to tears

When it’s a friend
You want to rescue them
Take them under your wing

But it’s not enough to just care
Specialist care is what’s needed there
Professional help

You can only advise
To be wise
And hope they find their way
And pray!

I’m beat!
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!
I stopped to hear
something so very dear,
birds singing in the trees!
It was sure to please!
Champagne to my ears!
The sound brought me to tears,
Happy tears.
It was so uplifting and something so wonderful!
To hear those birds sing so sincere and so very dutiful!

Pick me up
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!

Alright To Write
To write is a privilege
A wonderful thing
When others can read
The words just proceed
To a story old and new
About just anything you do
Anything you see
A Descriptive delightful
Keep on writing
just write!

Alright!

you've put a spell on me
You've put a spell on me
Im entranced can't you see
you are now in my heart
Even though were far apart
you've captured my soul
you've enlightened my life
you've made the sky so blue
And the bright sun shine through
even the leaves in the trees are bright
especially at night
when I think of you in my dreams
and remember you in my prayers
imagine beyond my tears
but will you wait? but it could be years
but now I can never have you in my wildest dreams
you cant be mine
at this time
you see
I'm not free!
Its just not meant to be!

Love and peace
It costs nothing
To love
It takes nothing
To have peace
It achieves nothing
To destruct
The water is warm and bubbly
I feel the Jets of air hit upon my skin
So gently rippling as they go
Massaging my skin and every part of me
With drops of rain falling down on me
The air is cool as I sink down into the warmth of the hot tub warming my bones
And I’m in throws of relaxation and pure elation! It may be raining out there but do I really care?

SNOW
Snow
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
The snow slows everything down
There’s such beauty all around
Peaceful and quiet
Bright and so white
The white ****** snow is a sheer delight!
Doesn’t matter day or night!
It lights the sky
So bright to the eye!
Little white flakes falling
Different sizes and shapes
Put on your coats and capes
Your wellies and your drapes
And make a snowman ⛄️
Before it melts!
I do love the snow! I remember such fun as a child each year making snowmen and having cold wet hand so much fun and so beautiful but cold so cold!
Poetry
Flowetry flow

Just words
In an etry way

A dying moth
He flew in out of the hot, hot sun
All tethered and worn
to sit upon the white cool wall
From evening until dawn
he slept there for a day
A beautiful moth was he
in the morning there he lay
so peacefully and still upon the floor
it looked like he had passed away
his life drained all in awe
but there was but a bit of life left
comfortable he was made
until  his life began to fade
and then he had gone
He and nature are now as one!
Ah this moth bless him was beautiful ! More like a little butterfly! I looked after him at his final moments until he peacefully passed!

A sheer delight
The snow comes down in delightful pretty snow flakes
A visual pleasure it makes
And visually digesting the view
With beautiful music playing
To cerebrally amaze the neurones in the brain
Wielding the warmth of the open log fire
Would be many a persons desire
Taking in the exuberant beauty that is seen, heard and felt
It Can make your heart melt
And gets the senses to light up a fire
And enjoy it all, in a heartfelt desire.
I was inspired by a TV programme about an amazing hotel in the Alps near Germany!

Happy day
I’m feeling quite elated
My spirits have been lifted
I’m On a natural high
The sun is out and smiling
it’s going to be a lovely day
Every thing seems rosey
But you know what they say
With a rose comes thorns
But they won’t burst my bubble
Today I will be happy
No matter what they say
No thorns will get in my way,
I will have a very happy day!

Life - luck of the draw
Life can be cruel
Life can be kind
But that’s the rule
Some may find
Some are so lucky
They have everything
Others seem to suffer
At what ever life will bring
Life’s unfair
Some just dare
Some just do
Some just worry their lives away
Hoping that there’s some good one day!
For them too!

The beauty of animals
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!

A quick totty
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!
Daft I know! I seem to be hyper tonight! Twas the red bull this am when I was feeling rather tired! Took a long time to work!!!!! Drat!

Dream of the sea
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!

Lunch time
Lunch
I’m being bad,
This is what I’ve had,
A crispy crunchy delicious croissant soft and fresh inside,
A delicious treat for the mouth and eyes, I don’t despise !
That’s no surprise ,
Why not
I’m a foodie
Just been eating Baklava
Oh how exquisite a sheer delight to the taste buds
Tastes good,
I’ve got orange smarties
Hey ** my hearties!
They won’t survive for much longer!
Don’t care
Don’t have to be stronger!
No self control
I just relax and let them go!!!!!

Sun and Moon
I swear if the sun and the moon weren’t there life would be bare,

If the birds in the trees didn’t sing to please
The silence would be cutting
If the sun failed to come out
It would certainly be quite gutting

Our world relies
On whats out there
in the skies
The light
The sun
How dark how bright
The stars in sight
The clouds
The sun rise
The sun set
The thunder
The lightening
The rain
The snow
The water helps things grow!


I swear if the sun and the moon weren’t there life would be bare!

The Origins of Life
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!

Pray
That someday
There will be kindness and compassion

Red Sky in the morning
Well what a gorgeous sky this morning
It looks like the reflection of a field of beautiful tulips
It’s streaky red above my head
And down below
The pavement has a little glow
It’s is a little damp
From the morning due
Little tiny drops of water on each little blade of grass
But alas
The air is cool but fresh
There’s No one about but a few cars passing by
Peace perfect peace
It’s Sunday morning as the night draws nigh!
What a wonderful red sky!

A Spiritual visit
I smell a fragrance
Familiar to me
There’s no one around
Except just for me
It’s quiet
It’s dark
It’s calm
I feel a gentle tickle on my arm
But there’s no one there
I can not see
I think it’s a spirit
Trying to talk to me
Someone gone before
But now just passing by!
It’s strange this did happen years ago! And sometime later I heard my God Mother had died around about then and no one had told me! until ages later!

I love
I love Monet
And I love art
It’s fills my heart

I love the stars in the sky
That’s where I’ll go when I die

I love the trees
For me they please

I love the smell of a pink rose
It cheers my nose

I love snow
It’s beautiful you know

I love ground coffee
Chocolate and toffee

I love life
I’m a mother and a wife

And I love you
And all the good that you do!

Needs must!
Nothing is perfect in life
Except you!
Needs must be done
So off again I run
Ones work has to be done!

Just a couple of days away
But I will miss you anyway
You might just pine
Because you’re mine
But won’t be long
So just stay strong!

Feeling bad

A Robin red breast
We had a robin visit us this morning
His breast was so red
He had a pretty little head
He was eating the seeds
I put out for all bird breeds
It’s lovely to see
The birds flying free
Enjoying the food
We put out for their brood
And they sing their thank yous
With their colours and hues
Sat in the trees
Easy to please!

Always grim
Always grim
In pain
Won’t take your pills
Migraine
Other pains
You say you don’t want to be here !
What can I do but comfort you?
Always grim?
What can I do, When I love someone like you?
You’re stubborn you won’t accept help!
You’re grumpy and your mind is set!
But bless none the less you’ve got a good soul and heart!

Everything on Earth
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!
