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 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.

I'm so inspired from others beautiful prose,
such awesome descriptions they have given
the words they pose
makes life worth living
brightens up even the darkest, dull day
the love in the words they are certainly giving!
please all keep writing is all I pray!

I was brought up and lived
in the dead centre of town,
Not where the shops were
No, by the cemetery, oh my,
Over the wall,
the coffins were laid,
And over the wall sometimes we played!

We'd visit the grave of George Formby,
A very famous man with his ukulele,
And chased around the graveyard just having fun,
Then climb back over the wall,
Before we got caught,
By my dad and my  mam!

The Wind
Is howling
Like a wolf
The rain
is coming down
in buckets
It's streaming
Down the road
Its cold
Its damp
But why oh why?
It is July!

Passion to me
Is the colour of purple
With romance
It should be
And to dance
Romantically
Like a tango
Giving it all
Having a ball
Standing tall
Having the gall
To be
Passionate with me!

Gorgeous eyes
Windows of the soul
A deep black hole
The colour of coal
Pretty colour iris
green and blue
And speckles of brown
Like a gem
Bright and wide
Clear and kind
Gorgeous eyes

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!

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!

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!

The body is a vessel
The heart is the engine
The mind, you will find is who we really are
The skin is for protection
The bones are for *******
The blood is the fuel
That keeps the body alive!

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!

I pray the day I rise up from the dead
In my glory I stand
Tiara Upon my head
And with a pen in my hand

I’ve never been able to sing and play
No good having a guitar of mine
From coming into to life and my dying day
Poetry has been my line

So ready for the end
To writing poetry and prose I send
And all the poems I’ve penned
For the angels my poems I lend!

There are so many beautiful people
Beautiful people with beautiful souls
Beautiful thoughts and beautiful words
With beautiful plans and beautiful goals
Beautiful people who write beautiful poetry!

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!

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.

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!

Its a quiet day
in the distance not far away
I hear a dog bark
Now silence again
A delight, so quiet
A car passes by
And now its gone
Its quiet again
Peace perfect peace
time for a snooze
and let the tension
just ooze away
on a peaceful
and lovely quiet day!

A chocolate bar
No make it two
A Nutella jar
Shops own will do
A chocolate cake
Or brownies, make it a few
Chocolate muffins to make
Now comes the Gin
Of course it’s a sin
Try some dry ginger
It works like a ninja
Ice cream won’t go a miss
I’ll take two of this
Give me chocolate truffle ice creams
And I’ll give you a kiss!
Shopping done let’s go on the...........!

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!

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!

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

Back in the room

The sun
The sea
The sky
The beach
How I would like to reach

The wind
the rain
The hail
the snow
No matter whatever the weather!

The autumn
The winter
The spring
The summer
Sometimes all rolled up in one!

The willow
The holly
The bamboo
The birch
Back in the garden

The apples
The oranges
The bananas
A bowl of fruit
Back in the room!!!

Avon
I’ve been bathing in Avon
With bubbles and creams
A lovely haven
My best dreams
Lavender and cocoa butter
To smoothie out my skin
I have soaked outside to within
I’m so relaxed now without the gin!

The mighty red sky
Like blood
Up above high
At the break of morning
As the day was dawning
A weather warning !

I see the moon glistening through the trees
What a beautiful sight
And it’s still actually night
It’s five in the morning
Before the day starts dawning
Everyone and everything is sleeping
It’s quiet, it’s dark, and today it’s wet
Well that’s the scene that I have set
I need more sleep
Or I’ll be in a heap
So back to bed to rest my weary head!

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!

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!

The sadness in your eyes,
I really don't despise,
When you're really low,
I really truly know,
You say I don't understand,
But my darling somehow, and
Someway I really do!
you think I haven't got a clue,
But I see it is the things you do!
And now you're feeling sad,
Things are really not that bad!

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!

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

Poetry
Flowetry flow
Knowetry  know
Goetry go
Just wordetry words

Just words
In an etry way

In life we chose what road we want to take
Life is how and what you make
There are some pains and then the ache
You can eat and have your cake
And even if you have to fake
Your feeling for another’s sake
Life is your choosing make no mistake!

Love is that chemistry
Two souls as one
Like floating on a lake, a beautiful swan
Two drops of rain come together as one
That's love!

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!

When I first met you
I fell in through the door
It was at a conference
And I was on the floor
But you were there for me
And that’s what I adore
You picked me up quite fiscally
Which made me love you more!!!!

True love is two souls as one
The last piece of a jigsaw complete
Two sharing a heart beat
Two minds together
Strong and secure
Wanting each other
More and more


Between the two souls
The chemistry has to be
Completely right
Loving and Caring for each other
Day and night
until eternity
An infinite delight!

True love!

Oblivion, no anticipation
a slip and a fall
a loud crack
says it all
pain off the scale
to no pain at all
screams inside
no sound
unbelievable
beyond belief
no relief
wet, white face
hands like ice
sick to the teeth
silence breaks
screams
swear words heard
oblivious to the world
I'm not here
I'm somewhere else
I don't swear
its someone else!

Tripped
on the dog bowl
water on the floor
slipped and fell
legs in the air
crack
broke my leg
On Easter Sunday of all days,
and my sons 40th birthday!
Oh what a day!

Oh how I love you
But when we disagree
Or you don’t listen to me
I just despair
I know that you care
But I walk away
To cool down and cry
I get over it because our love is strong
So all I ask
Is a simple task
Just listen!

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!

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!

Deep depression, what does it mean?
A black cloud hanging over you
A sadness that is obscene
Where’s the light at the end of the tunnel ?
You can not see now, its just in between

Everyone is sad sometimes, especially bad times
The darkness crawls in
The mood goes downhill
It’s hard to break that cloud!

but there is a light at the end of the tunnel
You've only got to follow the light
To get better and feel right
And blast that black cloud away
Tomorrow is another day!

Pick yourself up
Anyway you can
Smile and think of the good things in life
Laugh at the funny things
Say something nice
And love yourself, be nice,

Melt the ice,
Eat the sweet
Drink the wine
Live your life
Don't let them get you down
Pull yourself up
You'll get there
We do care
Just share!

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!
