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

The field is full of pheasants
All running around
There’s the runners and
The males and females
Abound in the long dry grass

I try to take a picture
But no, alas, they have class,
They’re hiding in the long dry grass
No pictures to be had
somehow it made me sad

It was a rare old sight
End of the day
Coming night
No gun just a camera
They probably thought I’d shoot

It really was a hoot!

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!

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!

This world is beautiful
But could be a better place
With love for one another
We’ve really got to face

There is no need for fighting
There is another way
Just Stop the bad back biting
And we will see another day !

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

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!

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 !

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!

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!

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!

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!

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 !

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!

You came into this world
After many long hours of labour
A beautiful little face
Looking up at me
What you saw first was me
Your granny
You cried a healthy cry
Telling us you are alive
And the first thing you heard was me
Your granny!
I’d seen babies born before
But this baby
I surely do adore!
Because I am your granny!

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.

Perfect peace
Don’t let it cease
Silence is golden
Only to beholden
Time to relax
Time to unwind
Time to snooze
Without the *****!

It starts with the kids
The little darlings need to be taught
Respect
Consideration
Right and wrong
To love one another
Compromise
About kindness
About caring
About love
And above all
Faith, Hope and charity
Give them clarity
To do good
Then they’ll be equipped
For a good happy healthy life!

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!

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 !

When you’re working up to the ultimate moment
And you’re coming to the ******
And then it happens
the earth moves
Shaking
Waking up the dead
Seeing colours in your head
The ultimate excitement
Fireworks in your brain
You’ve done it
You’ve made it
Self assembly is done!

Love is the epitome of all that is good
Life is the epitome of what we could
Living is the epitome of a lesson
Learning is an epitome of life!

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!

The bamboo tree is waving at me
The wind is getting worse
It’s swinging side to side
As if it has a curse
And then it stops quite still
The rain comes down at will
And now he’s getting wet
The wind comes back with force
He swings around of course
His branches shudder and shake
I hope that wind will break

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!

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!

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!

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!

I whittle
I whine
I’m stressed
It’s the sign

I need
To get control
This stress of mine
Let it roll

What will be
Will be
Need to sort it out
You see

Need to be strong
I’m not wrong
I’ll get there
To be fair!

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!

I am a morning person
But there’s a morning person and a morning person
I’m the one who comes later
Five o’clock in the morning is a bit stiff!
Do you get my jiff?
Well I am at that time
Stiff as a board
It takes an hour to loosen up
With a strong hot coffee cup
And a cake,
A cake will help me wake,
A muffin to you
But that will do!
So once I have woken
Raring to go
Take the dog out for her walk
She loves it you know!
And when We get back
My whip I do crack!
Not really!
Dog now asleep!
The little creep!
I clean the kitchen
Do the bins
Put the washing in
For all my sins
Clean the floor
Wash the door
Fill up the dish washer,
And what’s more?
Oh what would I do without you!!!!!
Well that’s my morning !
As I said I’m a morning person
So now I’m back to bed!!!!!!
The rest of the day
Has gone astray!

Today is the day
It’s Valentine’s Day
The love that we feel
Is certainly real
As we give our love to each other
Husband wife friend and lover

Today is the day
It’s Valentine’s Day
To say to each other
I love you
I always think of you
Especially today

It’s Valentine’s Day !

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!

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!

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!
