You’ve just gotta find it
It’s there
That's a good feeling
And share

You never let me down
You’re there
That’s a good feeling
Now share

You make me feel happy
We’re there
That’s a good feeling
Now share.

Just for you

Look at the beautiful green trees and leaves,
They make you smile so I believe ,
And when the sun begins to shine,
Open your eyes you’ll feel divine!
Laugh a little at the chirpy birds,
We wonder what chirps mean in words?
The flowers are all pretty and bright!
Until the nights comes and is no longer light!
Never feel alone!
There’s always the telephone!
Laugh a little!
Smile a little!
You are alive!
You will survive!
I love you! ♥️

Laughter
Of course they say
Laughter is good
Good for the soul
Good for the heart
Laugh out loud
Laugh in a crowd
Laugh anywhere
You are allowed
Laughter is lovely
Laughter is fun
Laughter is juveley
Excuse the pun
Laughter keeps you alive
Laughter helps us survive!
Laugh a little
Laugh a lot
Laughter is Brittle
Laughter is spread
Laughter is contagious
So it’s been said
One laughs then another
Until you cry
Doubled up laughing
Teardrops drops from the eye
Good for your soul
I can not deny!

Life's too short and precious,
Do we really try to enjoy
the beauty of life were given?
Like a walk outside when its cold as ice
the sun is shining its so very nice,
You feel so invigorated and so alive
it helps us to carry on and survive,
Like looking up at the stars
on a dark clear night and the beauty
and peacefulness is a sheer delight,
Like enjoying the silence
when all is still
its better than taking any pill,
Like appreciating the wonders of the world
giving us so much pleasure and peace,
Makes the love in our hearts simply just increase!

Life is beautiful
The creativity of creatures is amazing
from the insects to the birds to the fish and mammals of the world
The colours and the hues
Big and small
I love them all
Life is amazing
We’ve just got to use our senses
To appreciate what there is
From sight, smell, sound
In the air, on the ground
Everywhere and all around
Life is beautiful!

I haven’t done much poetry lately
Too much going on
A sick husband and a very poorly friend
I need to care for whilst they are there for
Because life is fickle life is frail
We’re not immortal we can fail
Nothing lasts forever
It’s like a feather
It floats, it’s fragile,
But for a while
We can live
And we can smile!
Make the most
And run that mile!

Life’s not easy
Or Bright and breezy
Cuddly and squeezey
Life’s more sneezy
Hard to pleasey
Often teazey
Constantly wheezey

Life’s quite hard
Often barred
Shown the red card
On your guard
Easily jarred
Some are tarred
Or up the yard!

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!

Listen to the birds
Tonight They’re exchanging lots of words,
With their beautiful bird song
As the sun slowly goes down and the night is not long
And as the air quickly cools
And the sky gently drools
After a lovely sunny day
And as the night comes near
The bats will appear
Flying tree to tree
Across and in front of me
Then the owl starts to hoot
And it’s baby owlet so cute
starts crying
It needs a feed before it leaves the nest and start flying
Hearing the birds
I have no other words
Other than how beautiful it sure is to listen and hear at this time of year.

From pink to purple to blue
To green to red
The little lights are a delight
Flashing on and off
Just those little lights
Brighten up our dark dark nights!

Little noises that they make!
But they do not wake
When they are all curled up asleep
probably when they’re sleeping deep
The cat wheezes and sometimes snores
You hear her through the open doors
The dog has what I suppose are dreams
And cutely yelps it seems
Her little legs twitching
She’s running or she’s itching
But still she stays asleep
And still she doesn’t peep!
Those beautiful little noises
Are like a bunch of red roses!

Baby animals
And little tots
I have lots of soft spots
They’re so cuddly
They’re so cute
soft and gentle
Sweet Innocence
Their smell is a delight
Cuddle when they cry at night
Feed when the need feeding
Love when they need love
Appreciate whilst they’re so little
As they all grow up overnight!

I woke up this morning
To another day dawning
I Looked at that sky
With a sad tainted eye
Is it going to rain ?
Or are we gonna die?
dark closing in as day goes by
It’s so incredibly grey
Another wet windy day
The wind is roaring
Like an angry voray
It’s now pouring!
What can I just say?

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!

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!

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!

Love is
toleration
Give and take
Patience
Share the cake
embrace
Kiss and cuddle
Sharing
Half each
caring
Look out for each other!

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! 💓

Everyone and every living thing in this universe
Matters in life,
Everyone no matter who or what in this verse
Needs love,
We all need each other
And need to live in harmony!

Everyone should just stop for a minute to think or even bother,
And feel the love
Like the trees do,
The butterflies and bees do
And the flowers and seas do!

We are all alive
And a long time dead!
Be kind to each other
Watch what you say and think what you said,
Only speak  of good or just don't bother,
Think twice, and be nice to the living,
Consider your friend, stranger, sister, brother,
By being kind, thoughtful, loving and giving !

When I’m dead and gone
“I want to come back as a dog in your house”
Is what my man would say
Comfortable warm and cosy
Walked, fed and loved every single day
Cuddles, kisses and lots of games to play!

Low
So what do you know!!!!!
I’m feeling so low!
I’m only human so there you go!
Just like anyone else friend or foe,
We all have feelings in tow,
Things happen in life,
Causing so much strife,
So come on with the pick up!
Chocolate and cheese, oh yup!
A glass of fine wine or a cup,
of coffee laced with spirit to sip!
So I’ve just gotta say
I’ve got to get real!
And just deal
With how I feel
Face my problems front on
Let the Gitts know they haven’t won!

Lure
Lure you’re a star I’d say
Even though you’re far away
You give me hope
Which helps me cope
And Encouragement to write my poetry
You are
A poetry buddy
And a lovely friend
With thanks and love
I surely send!

May ......
May the owl give you wisdom,
May the magpie give you luck,
May the dove give you love and peace,
May the flowers give you perfume,
May the trees give you shelter,
May life give you what you wish!

I see it in your eyes
There’s no surprise
The glow from your soul
And the love on the whole
Is deep within
Just let us in!

No one is born bad
I know that you’re sad
It’s the damage from without
That caused the doubt
but now you are changing
Into a beautiful soul
With love in your heart
And good on the whole!

I thought I saw a shooting star
I made a wish
Then I saw more

I thought oh wow
A shooting star
Then I saw more

I kept wishing
Upon that o shooting star
Then I saw more

And someone told me
It was a meteorite shower
Anyway that’s ok
What a wonderful site
Then I saw more!

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!

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!

Money
It’s not that funny
It buys bread and honey
And when it’s sunny
It’s free
You soak it up
You see
Money though
As you probably know
Slips through our fingers
The debt still lingers!

Moose you make me smile!
What did we do within you?
A pretty little blonde with lots of style
We couldn’t do without you
Best thing we have ever done
Is getting you!
Moose we sure love you!

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!

From a tiny seed
Came a plant indeed
An apple tree
maybe two
Each day they grew
It started with the pip
Popped up
And popped off
The stalks grew
The leaves popped out
The little plants
Began to sprout
Apple trees are on their way
To grow and mature every day
Until they’re mature
To produce their fruit
And give me more and more
My apple trees I do adore!

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

My dreams
It seems
Can be
Wierd and wonderful
Crazy but cool
All mixed up
As a general rule

I dream of unfinished buildings
Crazy hotels
Parking the car
Somewhere bizarre
going to a restaurant with no food
As a foodie that's not so good

but best of all is when I dream
of lying on a beach
on a private island
Eating ice cream!
Sunning myself and smiling!

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...........!

My favourite food
Is so good
Like smoked salmon and scrambled eggs
A treat

But I also like my fruit and veg
And blackberries off the hedge

A nice big crumpet with butter on
I’m gone
Into oblivion
So delicious

Then the naughtiest come
They fill my tum
Cake and chocolate
Yum yum yum!

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!

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!

All curled up in a ball fast asleep
Cute and cuddly dont you peep
I hear your deep breathing next to me
I think you're dreaming is what I see
As cute little whimpers, I can hear
your little legs start to move my little dear
still asleep my little one
chasing cats or rabbits , now they're gone
all in your dreams whilst you sleep
Cute and cuddly don't you peep!

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 love the way you look at me
And the way you snug up to me
You are so special to me
Especially when you cuddle me

I love the way you wimpier
When you have a dream
And your little legs are moving
When you’re fast asleep

And when you jump up
When I leave the room
And when I’m trying to brush up
You run off with my broom

I love the way you listen to me
Your head goes side to side
And when I say walkies
You’re ready by my side

My nemesis is chocolate
I’m Stoic about my size
You should see how much I ate
My belly’s smaller than my eyes!

Does it really matter
Do I really care

I love a drink of gin
Topped up with ginger ale
It doesn’t make you thin
But here I tell the tale

Does it really matter
Do I really care

I love all of the naughties
But I eat my veg and fruit
And hot buttered toasties
And a glass of Prosecco bruit

Does it really matter
Do I really care

My nemesis is being big
I love my food so much
In fact I’m quite a pig
I know I am of such

Does it really matter
Do I really care!

Why do plants have to die
My Christmas tree
Is No longer with me
Its pines have turned red
I think it is dead
The lavender bush
Its branches all wizened not lush
Like it used to be
I don't know what happened
But its happened to me
It could have been the blast of the sun
Too hot, well it was for me
Then all the rain
It just didn't drain
And drowned my babies you see!

My poetry
It is my breakfast
It is my lunch
It is my tea
It is my dinner
It is my supper
It is me
My poetry

Poetry is the food of life!

Someone told me once
that I should write for me
in my poetry

But I really want
to write for others to make them happy
in my poetry

So here in this poem
you will surely see
in my poetry

Laugh out loud
laugh a lot
at my poetry!
