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!!!!!

Beautiful
You are so beautiful
As beautiful as a summers day
Your love is unconditional
You are a sunny ray
You are so beautiful from right within to out
You’ll always be our baby in every kind of way indeed there is no doubt
We will love you forever
Love you from right inside and definitely will without

A Covid Quiet Christmas
Well it’s been a nice quiet covid Christmas
My man and me Moose and Sam
But alas
The cooker broke
Yes no joke
So good that we had a worktop spare!
So I managed to cook the Turkey there!
So it’s been a Christmas time
With lovely food,
And drink, not like the usual I think,
Cream liqueur
I just adore
That much Turkey lurkey,
Makes me feel so perky
I’m beginning to look like one!
Turkey dinner was nice
Turkey sandwiches were good
Turkey curry is next
And with all that I’m quite perplexed!
Christmas with covid!
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
This was prior to my broken leg in April! Around March time!

Electric
We are all run by electricity
And electricity never dies
The neurones fire away
And we see another day
So when we die
Our electricity lives on
Could it be we fly
To that place up in the sky?

Guardian Angel
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
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!

Middle of the night
Its the middle of the night!
But that's alright
I'm not tired
My brain is wired
The neurones fired
I want to write
in the middle of the night!

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!

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!

Cold Wind
The cold strong wind blows
Freezing my fingers and my toes

Sunburn
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!
He,  he just a silly little ditty! Sunburn not too bad, got the after sun out! My husband said I had a red face!

Poor little bird
Her days were numbered
The poor little bird
A tussle in the tree
And off flew a hawk
The poor little bird
Plopped down on the ground
In jumped the cat
Bird in mouth
But Gently held
As I took her from him
And held her gently in my hand
Lying still and forelorn
I thought she was hurt
So I gently stroked her wings
And just by surprise
Off she flew
Safe once again
And hopefully good as new!

Come with me
Take my hand
Come with me
To a place or land
Where we want to be!

Sunrise over the sea
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 !

Eternity with you
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

Positivity
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.
love to all, be positive

A presence
I feel the presence
Of a spiritual being
Maybe an angel
Is that what I’m seeking

A smell of perfume
And a gentle gust of cold air
Standing up are goosebumps and
On my arms, my hair

I know he or she means no harm
May be someone close to me
Because I feel so calm
Who or what could it be?

Time to sleep
It’s time to go to bed
It’s time to sleep
And rest my weary head
A sleep so deep

And dream about
Things the day
Has Left out
like games we play

So sleep now
So deep now
Good night
Turn off the light!

And sleep!

You
You
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 !
Inspired by Imran thank you 💕🌺💕

Today
This morning I woke up early , I’m on it,
With a bee in my bonnet
Working through my washing pile
As it diminishes I have to smile
Dishes next, empty the dish washer
And put them away so much posher
The tumble dryer is wild by now
The clothes are even drying wow
I’ve cleaned the pots and pans
The sandwich maker, the air fryer and fans
The kitchen floor
And what’s more
It’s all clean
It won’t stay like that
It’s all there in my dreams!

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!

My Granny
My Granny
May Malone
Was a lovely lady
Sadly she was alone
Grandpa died when I was ten
I remember his grave stone
All that time back then
Granny was such a brilliant cook
She didn’t have to use a recipe book
She cooked straight from the heart
To her it was a simple art
Mushed up cabbage was simply delicious
But the sheep brain butties I was suspicious
Thought it was cottage cheese
I said no thanks, oh please!
My mum did laugh
I spat it out with upmost wrath
She thought it was funny
I washed out my mouth
Then grabbed some honey
We had such fun way back then
And fun with grandpa before I was ten!

A Winter Beach
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!

The Snow time
The snow has come
Just when I needed it
Beautiful, white, thick snow on snow
Staying home you know !
Time out , time off
Time in
Snow
is so beautiful
Don’t go
For a little while
While I look at you
And smile
Through the window
At the glistening white
Large pretty snowflakes
They’re the best!
Day and at night
It looks a delight!
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!

A tree in a street
J’aime l’arbre Dans la rue
I love the tree in the street
It’s a weeping willow
And it’s very sweet
It’s leaves are so green
It’s Branches hang
And what I mean
The willow sang
It’s a weeping willow!

The strong wind
Strong Winds forecast for tomorrow
Like a hard strong gust waiting to bust
Tie down your latches
or doors and your thatches
Lay low,
stay in don’t go
Out in the blustery wind
Make sure everything is pinned
Because the wind is a demon
Waiting to beam on
Everything in its way
It’s tomorrow they say
It’s angry it’s nasty
How long will it last y
We just don’t know
It’s not a friend, it’s a foe!
The damages it does
Is what bothers us
The danger
What’s stranger
Is we just don’t know
Where it will go
Up down across or all over
From Scotland to Dover
Fast as it comes
It goes
Leaving destruction behind
It’s just simply unkind and entwined
Blowing us all away front back sides and behind!

I can hear an owl
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 !

Midnight coming
Quick off to bed now
Midnight is coming
It’s five to Twelve
It’ll soon be another day
Tonight is nearly gone
Tomorrow is nearly here
As midnight chimes
A new day is dawning
Middle of the night
Now early morning!

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!

At Nineteen
At nineteen I remember my dad saying to me as I got out of the wedding car,
You’re too young you really are,
Don’t do this!
But I thought it had gone too far!
At the alter I laughed
No one knew why
Except me
I just wanted to run, to flee
I should have done
But the church was full
And I couldn’t do it
The embarrassment threw it!
So I married him!
A big mistake
But I got two wonderful children and grand daughters out of the deal or ordeal
As I believe and really feel!
Close your eyes
Sit somewhere safe
Relax and unwind
taking in slow deep breathes
you can see inside your eyelids
and hear what's going on
and as you go a little deeper
imagine you're in the sun
feel the warmth all over
now you're having fun
as you relax and unwind
as the day is done
you will surely find
peace, perfect, peace
and a very healthy mind
In the name of hypnotherapy
I love being hypnotised!
I love hypnotherapy its awesome! I hypnotise myself! It gives me peace and an  escape! Everyone can do it, its simply a deep, deep relaxed state. Its just lovely!

A beautiful sunrise
A beautiful sunrise
A beautiful sunrise in the morning
As the day is dawning
Red sky in the morning
‘Shepherds warning ‘
So they say
But what a beautiful day?
So I say
That red sky
Is like fire!
With passion and desire
It depicts a beautiful scene
So pretty, so serene!

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!

A Brand New Year
Tomorrow is another day
Another year
We would say
It would appear
New Year’s Day

Another year is born
The old year gone
Not forgot and not forelawn
And now its done!

We can’t go back
But onward forward
Down the track
Away and off ward

A New year is blooming
Time is just zooming
To a bright new year
And now it’s here!
It would appear!

Thunder
I like the sunshine
I like the rain
I even like the thunder
it sort of soothes my brain

I enjoy the light show
of the lightening as it strikes
Sheet lightening and fork lightening
but scary it is oh yikes

perhaps I have thunder
in my heart
and lightening in my soul
Thunder is only just a part

Thunder and lightening is the whole!

Anxiously waiting
Waiting
Waiting for that call
That you don’t really want
But you have to
When it’s someone you believe in
Someone you need to support
When a friend has been controlled
Bashed and beaten for years
Behind closed doors
No one was aware least me
They were a nice person outside
Social psychopath
And now its time
To give a statement
Anxiously waiting
And that’s  just the beginning!
And how it will go
I really don’t know!
85 · Jul 2020
All about me
All about me

It’s all about me
I used to live by the sea
But I miss it now you see

I miss the sound of the waves
Crashing against the rocks
I miss the kiss of the sunshine
Shining down on me

I miss the sand between my toes and a paddle in the sea
I miss the peace and quiet
And all that it could be

I miss the little stream
Trickling over the pebbles and rocks
I miss the sound of seagulls
Even in their flocks

I miss the wind blowing through my hair
Whilst walking on the beach
I miss the white horses but they are out of reach!
85 · Jul 2020
My Moose
My Moose

You make my heart miss a beat
Your soft coat I stroke, cos so sweet
You worry me when you don’t eat
You turn your head when I speak
When I say walkies you’re on your feet
My love for you is so Complete
When it’s hot you feel the Heat
Visitors come you greet and Meet
Everyone thinks you’re so Neat
You cuddle up upon the Seat
And I just love to give you a Treat!

I’m bad
Done my shopping this fine morning
But in my shopping there is a warning!
Chocolate!

Dark chocolate with raspberries
One with mint
One with orange
A Toblerone yes on it’s own
Cadbury milk as well
This is swell!
All in the fridge Nice and cool
For a chocolate binge
I may just drewel !
Naughty girl!
I’m bad!

Life's too short
Life’s too short
So we ought
Make the most
Grabbing while it’s there
Use it
Peruse it
Try a little more
Open up the  door
There’s more behind
Be kind
Unwind
Love a little
Achieve
Believe
In yourself
Look after your health
Improve your wealth
Life’s too short!

The Occular
The Occular
What an amazing thing
The Occular that technology should bring!
I whiled away my long lazy day
Watching the Occular
I started with National Geographic and looked at other things like dinosaurs!
How amazing, how surreal how real, how beautiful to see such awesome films so close yet far away. The beautiful animals were just amazing!
The Occular takes you away
Like dreams so vivid
Nice to spend your day!

Beautiful Trees
All trees are beautiful!
But those bearing fruit are beautiful, fruitful and dutiful!
But I love a tree that flowers like the cherry blossom tree,
I can sit and watch for hours all those pretty pink flowers
Hanging down and eventually dropping to the ground
without a single sound!
Trees are quiet, they see, and don't speak,
but their profound beauty says it all
They stand there masterful and some are so tall !
Looking down upon us all!

A single pebble
A single pebble
sitting there
all alone
without a care
big and beautiful
bold and bright
left by the sea
as nature might!
inspired by Mawgan Porth beach where I used to live between 1994-2010
Falling in love
Can make me blue
Especially falling in love with you
Its the music and the gin
tends to make me want to sin
but not usual in an ordinary day

It's when my heart calls out for you
I just don't know
why I do
Cos falling in love with you
Would be wrong
Like in Tom Waits song

You belong to someone else
but that's not why I want you
You stood out there
and caught my eye
I saw you look at me I'd die
To have you close to me.
Inspiration from Tom Waits song "I hope I don't fall in love with you"
83 · Oct 2020
Your love
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!
