Riding the Storm
The air feels heavy with foreboding as colour leaches out of the daylight greyness turns coppery and progresses to near darkness Lightening flares and strobes across the sky as thunder … Continue reading Riding the Storm
Butterfly or Moth updated
Butterfly or Moth,
Beautiful markings plight it’s troth,
The one gets applauded, the other disdained,
Yet each is beautiful, if we view unrestrained,
The day and the night,
Each has a part, if we use our foresight,
Butterfly or Moth, just look and see,
A beautiful creature born to be free.
Butterfly or Moth,
Which do you see?
When you look at people,
When you look at me,
Are your judgements valid,
More than skin deep?
Do you look, beneath the surface,
Your judgement to meet.
Butterfly or Moth,
Beautiful markings plight it’s troth,
The one gets applauded the other disdained,
Yet each is beautiful, if we view unrestrained.
The sun
The sun rises, the sun sets
A constant in our days lest
we forget
Blue sky or cloudy grey
The sun is shining adding
warmth in the day
Summer or winter the
sun is there
Adding the light for us to share
The sun rises, the sun sets
A constant in our days lest
we forget

It started with a sniffle
It started with a sniffle
Then a little cough
Snuffles on my pillows
I didn’t give a toss
Suddenly I seemed much warmer
Then chills, up and down my spine
My nose started dripping
My mind was in decline
Then the mucus fairy
Waved her little wand
My chest filled up with mucus
Like filling up a pond
It seems my major airways
Had become a water trap
I started coughing noisily
Couldn’t shift the crap
I found I couldn’t lay down
And even sitting up
My chest made this weird music
Like screech, whistle, dup dup.
My sniffle is a water fall
My cough spasmodic gunk
I feel pretty miserable
I look more goth than punk
I wonder how to tempt
That sweet fairy into the light
I just would like to catch her
Share some of my delight!!
Winter
December feels just like spring
Weather warm no cold swing
Dark and damp the winter nights
Gloomy days a few are bright
Rain and gales the weather gives
No crisp cold frost the warmth forbids
The season marches further on
Christmas creeps up hit that gong
Presents bought and cards a wing
Mood adjusts to the festive swing
Towns and cities, houses too
Covered in lights of every hue
Friends give a a glimpse of other lives
Christmas in another guise
Ce!ebrating with summer days
Not for them the winter haze
Crisp blue skies and sparkly seas
Sunshine, sea blue sky warm breeze
But grey or blue, north or south
There is the touch of a friend as greetings bounce
Brings a smile to warm the heart
Because friendship is a really great art
Its always summer somewhere
And during the winter season be aware
It can always be summer in your heart.
