A single pebble
sitting there
all alone
without a care
big and beautiful
bold and bright
left by the sea
as nature might!

Just look at the wind out there
it isn't half blowing a gale just now
but at least there's a blue sky
and fluffy white clouds
just floating by
the weeping willow
is swinging in tune to the wind
the leaves on the trees are rustling
as they blow in the breeze,
The bamboo is waving too,
But at least the sun is shining through
and the rain has gone for now
but as the branches bough
and the trees bend down low
the wind is quite ferocious just now!

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!

I’m fully a female
Voluptuous at that
With a 66 year old figure
Ok yes I ‘m fat
But do I care
As I’m happy with that
And despite all
I love handbags clothes and shoes
And shop in the mews
I like to look smart
And this is an art

At the Christmas market
And on a stall
We met a beautiful lady
But sadly that’s not all

Her sadness overflowed
Affected by the war
Her family still over there
And Her distress she did share

We bought some things for the Christmas tree
We gave her a big hug and kiss
And said we would pray for her
And her family of whom she miss

So God please help her and all her family
Protect them as they go
Help all those poor people
Burdened with the war

A cell
It splits
It grows
into a life
Who knows
Depends
On
What life
It will be
An animal or species or
A human like you and me!

A problem
Shared
is a problem
halved
Problems
to solve
problems
evolve
problems get solved
problems can come
problems can go
Share your problem
It helps, I know!

The beauty of her unconditioned love
she came from God above
She curles up on my knee
so snug and gently
she wont leave my side
I can not hide
my love for her is deep
she's now so sound asleep
like a baby lamb
like a mother and a child
so cuddly and cute
to stroke her soft white fur coat
feels beautiful to me
as she gently licks my hand
an ultimate pleasure you understand
A dog is for life
She is my life

I hear the air rushing
Through your mask
To your lungs
It’s a mean old task
Things said and unsung
I know you love me
And I have to be strong
I love you too
Because together we belong
I know I need to be patient
As I know you’re very ill
Sadly you’re not ancient
But I’m here for you until
The time You no longer need me
But I will need you still!
Losing you just isn’t right
I‘ll still hear you breathing through the night!
But when you’re gone
I’ll be the dying swan!

After a very hot day
lightening started flashing
Thunder started crashing
The rain came hammering down
The air started to cool
The plants and trees
Are all at ease
The rain is bouncing of the rooves
running down the little grooves
The lightening lights up the room
As the thunder crashes with a great big boom
And the thunder shouts as the clouds just
Crash into each other as the wind now gusts
Thrusting the trees
And washing the leaves
But oh what a lovely storm!

As Betjemen says,
"Poetry is the oil of life!"
A poem can be put across in many ways,
From stanza, prose and even sonnets,
It can depict most anything!
From simple verse to a song to sing,
Poetry gives pleasure to those who read
It gives out messages, yes indeed,
To those who wish to look that deep,
Some can even make you weep!

Central to my heart
I don’t want to be apart
Our dreams of love
We are just dreaming

My love for you is real
But can you not just feel
The love from inside of me

Central to my heart
I don’t want to be apart
Our dreams of love
We are just dreaming

So what is it
That’s in your heart
Do you really feel for me?

Central to my heart
I don’t want to be apart
Our dreams of love
We are just dreaming

So when you go to sleep
Is it me that’s on your mind
Or am I just dreaming

Central to my heart
I don’t want to be apart
Our dreams of love
We are just dreaming

Its five in the morning,
The day is just dawning,
The birds are singing in the trees,
Its Fresh, its Chilly, I sneeze!
The pollen count is up and out,
Hay fever now, I just don't doubt!

I’m now awake
For breakfast I had Christmas cake
For tea
It will be
Stew with Turkey for you and me!

The Christmas log is still in the cupboard
The seasonal cheesecake in the freezer
The cheesey biscuits not opened yet
we’ll save them for New year !
And once again we’ll have good cheer.

Is is quiet before the storm
Silent and calm
Because lately
Things are not quite stately
Stress yes stress and more stress
What a mess
I guess
Everything happens at once
It’s all nonse
No sense !

Life is so fragile
Like a petal from a rose
Life is so precious
Like those we love and know

In an anxious world
Stop and Try take a deep breath
as you count to ten
Block those anxious thoughts from your mind
Say the words calm, relax, and peace
Take time out and rest
Go somewhere quiet and somewhere safe
Get comfortable in a place
Take slow deep breathes and calm
Close your eyes and rest your arms
Look inside your eyes and see colours or just black velvety
This anxiety you will crack
Just don’t worry you’ll come back
Relax and rest it’s not a test
Take your imagination to a nice safe place
A beautiful beach with soft white sand and the sun shining through with a gentle breeze or a gorgeous garden where it’s always warm and sunny where you can smell the roses and the beautiful flowers where you can sit on a bench and relax for hours
Or a forest full of beautiful trees and the sunlight shining through
Whatever you want
You just do!
Visualise and take time to enjoy
Make this your safe place
When there’s trouble
You have to face
Do it with grace !
Get yourself to your safe place!
Close your eyes
Hypnotise!

The sun came out yesterday
What a splendid day,
There were birds and the bees and the butterflies in the trees
The pollen was up so I had to sneeze,
The grass had grown and was lush, thick and green,
What a really wonderful scene!

The flowers and plants were at their best
The sun came down from the West
And showed off all their beauty
Especially the viola it is such a cutie
Draping over its hanging basket
I wouldn't bust a gasket
It started off so straggly
Even quite raggedly
Now its bloomed beautifully
And I care for it dutifully!

But what a splendid day
The sun makes everything look so bright
It takes away the grey
Until the dark of night!
At the end of the day!

We are born and we eventually die
We are not immortal
Unless we find that portal
Stay with me

Sadly we lose
Those of whom we love
Unless we find that portal
Stay with me

Everyone will eventually die
We have to face this fact
Unless we find that portal
Stay with me!

A visit from celestial beings

I feel the soft cool Egyptian cotton sheet against my skin
As it slowly slides off my body like the trickle of water sliding down a Rose
Soft and gentle stroking my skin
My silk gown Is floating
And the orchestra played
A crescendo of beautiful music
The ultimate of course
As I ascend and levitate in the
Bouquet of night
With night flies at the window
And fairy wings flying
And as the dream comes to close
I descend slowly and gently
Onto the Egyptian cotton sheet
And turn over into a deeper deep sleep!

Cold tea
Again
Don’t like cold tea
Cold tea is not for me
It’s a nurse thing
Cold tea
Not me
We always have cold tea
As a nurse!

I love to sit out at night and watch the stars and the satellite
and wonder if there is another world out there,
A world like ours in a rich, rich green
where trees are are found and fill the ground
where birds are plentiful and sing so sweet
where flowers grow all year through
where there's equal amount of rain and shine
where the rain is warm and the world is free
where everyone and everything is happy
where there is peace and tranquillity
where there is love and care
where everyone looks after each other and everything
where everyone is able to sing
where there is kindness and love
and up above and all around
A land filled with that love is very very grand!

Art
Comes from the heart
That’s the beauty of art it
Comes in forms and features
From anything even creatures
Comes is writing
Helps with the lighting
Comes in pictures
Some famous some are riches
Comes in pics
Quite a mix
Comes in painting
Gets a rating
Comes in form
There’s no norm
Comes in places
Comes in faces
Comes in time
Comes in a glass of wine
Art
Is from the heart!

Words can be powerful
And mean what they say
But words that are used
Can only be in great honesty

Thank you for the words
And what they’re bringing
Put the words together
And you’ll hear someone singing

But words from fiction
Can only just be
Not really meant
To you and to me

Thank you for the words
And what they’re bringing
Put the words together
And you’ll hear someone singing

It started as a tiny plant
Green and lush
And I placed it by the garden shed
It bloomed and grew
To a massive size
A lovely feast for my eyes
It’s bigger than the shed
That said
It may have gone crazy but it’s a beautiful sight!
And for me a treasure and a delight!

The world could be a beautiful place
We’ve just got to look at what nature brings
The beautiful flowers trees and things
The meadows full of yellow flowers
I could sit and rest for hours
Back to nature we should go
And enjoy the beauty that we know!

Smiling and laughter
Is the best medicine to take
forget all the pills
for the pain and the ache
laugh out loud
And smile as you wake!

On furtive land they stand
the look in his eyes became quite furtive
she thinks this is in hand
they spend a furtive day together
walking through the heather
and rolling in the sand
avoiding notice or attention
their secret meeting, band
They'd sneaked away to play
at sixteen its a start
but they sure' d take it to heart
so young but they just, don't want to be apart!
Young love simply rules the heart!

Black ink
Sometimes I think
I’m wading through black ink
Never knowing
What’s in front of me
Or where I’m going
The darkness is not showing
Which way I should go
So I’ll take the path
Of least resistance
The path I think I know
Or merely where the ink takes me
For my life to grow and grow!

Love is powerful
Love is great
Love gets rid of anger and hate
Love is ours to give
Love will help us live
Love is all we really need
Love one and all and love indeed
Love gets rid of all the hate
Love will put the world in a better state!

The wisteria has grown
and is wrapping around the garden seat,
I can't wait until the warm summer evenings
to smell the lovely scent,
It reminds me of Cornwall
not that many years ago,
when I walked the beach road  
smelling wisteria as I go.

Back to work!
Oh no, oh no,
Gotta go!
Yes I know,
got used to being at home
back now on the roam
but it wasn't that bad
good time was had
but tired, so tired
Although my brain is back wired!
Good to be hired!

There’s no need for fighting and killing
And all this blood spilling
With an advanced world
Of technical advances and natures
There’s compromise
There’s consideration
There’s respect
There’s love
There’s peace
Or the world will just decease!

Succinctly yours
For those who abhors
Descriptive jargon
That I’d pardon
Not always aware of what they mean
Sometimes go by what is seen
One can be mistaken
a word that is faken
And one where the meaning is ambiguous
To words who we abhorred
Because the meaning is unknown
I’ve learnt a few as I’ve grown!

It’s warm and cosy
Soft and smooth
Colours are pretty
Like a golden yellow
Its my blanket!

My life is mine,
It’s my only life,
This is my life,
And my life is yours!

The love in my life
Of the life of mine,
Is you, is you, is you!

When I sleep
I will rest
But death I shall pause!

And the peace I have got
In my heart of course
Will be yours, yours, yours!

Romance can be
For all, you and me
Watching the sunset
Walking in the rain and getting wet
Floating together on the river boat
Him giving her his coat
watching the stars at night
Walking on a beach as lovers might
Whispering sweet nothings to each other
Kisses and cuddles under a cover
Going to sleep next to your lover!

From the tip of my fingers to the top of my nose,
My love for you grows and grows!

How much I really love you
And how much I really care
Nobody really knows
It’s between us I suppose!

From the top of my head
To the top of my toes
Everyone knows
I really love you
And I don’t just suppose!
I do actually know!

A little bit of sunshine
A little bit of rain
All mixed in with a little bit of rhyme
Add a little bit of music
It would be just divine
A little bit of peace
Would just do me fine
A little bit of laughter
Add a little bit of fun
All mixed together
Completed the recipe
And now it’s all done!
