Ground breaking
1926 banned by London's Piccadilly Hotel
The British public could not be convinced
Remaining popular throughout,
the 1920's bout
An outlet and total break,
from Social constraints of the past
Improvised African dance moves
A desire for novelty and exuberance
Charleston dance
Broadway hit
First performed in stage productions,
by Harlem roots
Jazz flutes

It was gentle
Refreshing but warm
It passed over my face
Head tilted back
It radiated all over my body,
reality without perspective in-fact
Summer breeze rustling through the trees

When born everyone is an artist
Creativity the right hemisphere
The left of hand use is also there
Cerebrum sits at the topmost,
part of the brain
It holds your memories
It enables you to imagine and think
The source of intellectual activities
Nature and Nurture,
your creative artist is from birth
Our brains can rewire
Our nervous system,
can change its activity
in response to intrinsic,
or extrinsic stimuli
Without this ability any brain,
not just the human brain,
would be unable to develop the gain
From infancy to adulthood,
or recover from brain injury if it stood
The Arts are in existence,
because Society's roots,
are from human stem shoots
This is where art and culture started
Human Culture for all
would never have been created
Maintaining the Arts
is paramount in all creative parts
So the baby to adult artist,
will have support when the inner artist calls,
the memory won't pause,
and the nervous system,
will keep it's modified connections,
without fictions needing to rewire the systems
No misdirections only artist's reflections

Some geeks study,
as it is life long
Expert or enthusiast
Intellectual pursuit
Memory hello Henry
Verbal comprehension,
words flow no retention
Reasoning,
not tainted by fake deepening
Analysis elements or structure,
investigation blinkers off
Stand up to the Nation,
it's ok to use the qualitative,
without hesitation
Problem-solving,
most people do not like resolving

Wherefore Art Thou,
nature's faithful creatures
Part of our Universe,
so our minds and body do not thirst
Putting holistic health first
Good morning, good afternoon
Parting is never sorrow,
one will say good morning,
until the afternoon tomorrow

so soothing about a brush
Art blush

Yellow sun,

Falling in love with nature,

I am going to paint
A flowing charge
Happiness and warmth will be ours

Wildflowers,
definitely some
Inside nature will reside

Bonfire-jumping
The highest jump
Predict the height,
of the year's crop insight
Songs and dancing
Yes until the sun sets
Tell tales
Search and find,
magic fern blossom,
strike midnight
Summer that's right
Greet the rising of the midsummer
Now wash your face,
with morning dew grace
Vesta,
goddess of hearth,
home and family
Float flower wreaths for she,
on the water of the river or lake

up to the Summer Solstice take
Power of the Sun,
transition from action,
to nourishment
Wholesome
Darkness to light,
the journey is bright

Bring yourself
Some will think that is all I have
This is your wealth,
governed by your health,
and if yourself and your health,
is what you have,
this is then a billionaire,

How do we tackle inequalities
We come together and say,
as a community,
you will not live in dismay
We provide for you,
showing you can get through
Break the norm
Find a way out from the storm
It picks you up
making you feel,
it's just you in the cup
and the spoon is whirling,
without a settled sup
Never look down and frown,
Society does it on purpose so you drown
Find a focus and say,
I choose to swim
People need help,
so they can pin their ambitions
Especially the young,
and those who don't understand,
the Societal drum
Aid them to play a beat,
knowing their community is on the street
It's not just you facing this world,
your voice is heard
Implement an outlet,
that you can share,
your passions and care
Some can give a lot in terms of time,
they have got
Others want to help
Life and time may not be dealt
An encouraging word,
a few minutes of interest that all deserve

Women
Inequality
No one likes
Rightness
No one likes
Orderliness
Ancient concepts of truth,
balance, order,
harmony, law,
morality, and justice,
touched the point,
and the pyramid floor
I will wear my ostrich feathers,
with truth
Regulate the stars, seasons,
and the actions of mortals
Order from chaos
From the moment of creation,
my art wings,
were authentically replicated
The key of the nile,
is ancient and sacred

Throw the negative salts
NaCl
Sprinkle your soul
Bury the poison,
deep in the hole

and innovation bello rings
Mutable,
you conclude each season,
and help to transition,
us into the next one with reason
Fixed,
you embody each season fully
Men know this
The elements serve you well
Your astrology has an impact,
on your holistic health,
from the birth time itself

I used my laptop even then
to gain some knowledge and study,
as the corridors were the only homage
Back then not even a vending machine
One or two shops
Definitely not twenty four hour slots
Parking space round the square,
as many times as the marathon lines
If none was found,
a street or two away
GOSH I would say
Parents, Carers and Hospital Staff,
asked for underground parking space,
but the local council,
could not facilitate this grace
So for years,
round and round the square,
even when wind and rain was there
Russell Square,
high street near
The other way,
book shops near Holborn Station rocks
This is how I spent intermittent times,
for nineteen years
Some stays long,
others shorter glorious song
Over the years,
on the same street,
book shops appeared,
healthy food shops,
and cafe stops
Finally vending machines appeared,
in the internal cafe corridors,
a saviour without leaving the cause
Out of the road and across,
a unique seven acre playground and park
Many times spent,
making sure holistic health could represent
When the patient was well
I would take him for a walk
One day,
the specialist wheelchair wheel came away
We were at the bottom of the street
A gentleman definitely stopped,
he had tools,
as he was having lunch in the cafe,
definitely he did not turn grey
He popped the rubber wheel cover back on
Let's continue,
as fresh air is needed to stay strong

I am going to call it bluebell wood
The sun will shine through the trees,
with a gentle breeze
Laying on the crisp and crinkled bark
When I open my eyes,
the sun will be beating down from the skies
My hand drops down,
it's the bluebells it has found
This is where I will spend my time,
writing nearly every line
A gentle sway,
the bluebells carry me anyway,
through the woods back to base
I will return,
to see the bluebells wake at dawn
I will be there when the sunlight
hits the woods,
and the bluebells warm
Colours glow,
with the electric blue and purple show,
using only nature's energy to grow
My eyes will be closed relaxing in the sun
but I will know it is bluebell wood,
as my dream setting,
only makes me feel good

Twenty six years
Long stay
Then life must change
Imagine that's all you have ever known,
in life everyone should be happy,
that should be shown
A few years later
You came along,
at times we both felt not strong
He does not judge
He sees you as you are
He does not listen,
to what others say by far
His own opinions of you,
is what enables him,
to see what is true
When there was no one there,
just love and care
The journey in a working life,
he stayed and never left
A lot of information he reads,
but he knows it supports the needs
He never complains,
only supporting the life reins
He has faced bereavement,
and great loss,
in the last few years
A father,
then grandfather,
both close together,
but we both empathised,
as we both faced a loss
of looking into a father's eyes,
while breath passes through,
their bodies and the skies
I will forever be thankful for you,
and I will love you,
even when I live my eternal life too

Life is full of drones
Unpiloted
They can be as small as your hand,
or large like an aircraft stand
These drones are aerial vehicles,
performing an impressive range of tasks
These crafts don't want to fly freely
They drain your mood really
Always smile
Be grateful for life
The people that are there,
are the ones that care
Don't ever let anyone,
affect your aerial craft
Keep it free,
from drones that are moody

King Charles
A smile
Yes I can say it's been seen,
many times along the way
A man who has faced life,
as best he can
Part of a Monarch
King Charles,
founded the Prince's Trust,
to help the community,
which was a must
Vulnerable young people,
get their lives on track
I have reviewed stories many times,
of how the Prince's Trust,
helped young people,
with personal development,
so they can grow and trust
Unemployed for whatever reasons,
they are in this void
Struggling in school,
and at risk of exclusion
The Prince's Trust,
does not hold onto illusion,
Inclusion
Young people will not just fit in
The Prince's Trust paves a way,
that inclusion means,
there is change for all
Which makes things better,
than they were before,
A new door,
where all will develop and grow,
equality, diversity
All of the above has come from within
No one is ever forced,
to found and support,
anything in the life course,
that's called compassion,
and empathy resource
Royalty instructs,
the Government to govern,
not to rule,
the Royal helping Jewel
Royalty themselves,
have lived and faced disability,
fully knowing Societal inequalities,
are experienced by all
not just the ones,
who walk within the Palace wall

There is nothing wrong
in rolling in cotton candy
It's pure
Nature's green sugar,
covers the earth and more
The flowers adore,
the sweetness of the earth
Water droplets glaze like honey,
shining when it is sunny
Even in frost and snow,
nature's icicle chrysalis,
adds a sweetness to the view
Nature's sugar is all year through,
and natural too

He was a great man
His family came first,
no matter the life plan
A loving grandfather,
with old fashioned values and rules
A respected man in England
and the Cypriot Cyprus land
There all of my adult life
Our family gatherings,
you certainly knew how to cook,
on the Turkish barbecue
I learnt all of my cooking from you
I know how to definitely,
make my own barbecue
Not many women I have met,
can burn the charcoal,
but Carol knows because the grandfather,
taught her goals
Watermelons when we visited the village
I can still see you carrying them,
one in each hand with no spillage,
as we returned to the main house,
from the visit to the village
Your grandson loved your flap cap,
it made him laugh,
even though blindness is in his path
My parents, you and your wife,
loved us all without conditions in life
My father passed before you,
but you always held me in your hand too
Tanrı ruhunu korusun
Rest in peace,
my love for you will never cease

A big clear room
All different colours lined up
Pick a tray
Any colour you wish to say
Stand back
Aim at the wall
Now hurl the paint,
so splashes fall
Another colour please
Bang a paint splash clang
Another tray
Yes there is a lot to say
Crash
Watch the paint splash
More
What colours are next off the floor
Primary colours are best
Bold
Let them out so you can rest
A white wall colour spectrum tall
It's giving you all the colours,
so you don't just express in deep blue
Go ahead,
pick up those colours before bed
You may feel like lead
Could you be smiling without dread
Happiness said
Green
Put yourself against the wall
Feel nature call
Lime mine
Forest green a life dream
Olive tone perhaps a moan
Emerald green
Cover me in Irish cream
When you want to express,
don't dash,
try the poetry paint splash
