With a cold sea breeze,
I started to freeze,
My feet getting wet,
A few dogs we met,
The waves were crashing
The sea was smashing,
Beach holiday?
Not today!
Back inside
By the fireside.
To get warm
Away from the storm.
A few more…

Room at the Inn
So, that’s two adults?
There is a donkey parking space.
Breakfast in the Nativity Restaurant.
Double bed, en-suite.
No smoking or vaping,
No visitors from afar allowed.
No ‘angelic hosts’ parties allowed.
Visur or Masterboard?
What do you mean ‘a child will be born’?
No we don’t do Frankincense or Myhrr facials.
Gold, well yes as an exception we will accept it.
You want how many towels, and hot water?
I’m sorry but your wife looks unwell.
We are not a maternity unit.
Sorry, we reserve the right to cancel your reservation.
The hospital is that way.
Merry Christmas.
Winter Solstice
Today, 22.12.2019, is the Winter Solstice.
Which is why I have posted a picture of a marrow or cucumber plant trying to grow on my windowledge.
What? Why? Because the solstice is when the longest night in the Northern hemisphere happens. And the plant? Because its an annual plant as far as I know. But its from a random seed my hubby put in an indoor plant’s pot a few months ago. It’s even flowered a few times. What does it prove? That we must have our kitchen lights on a lot, that we obviously keep our heating too warm.
Solstice, an ancient cerimony happens,
Druids celebrate the return of the sun.
Long nights start shortening again.
The night begins to dwindle.
Sun rejoices in its mastery.
The world spins and tips round the sun.
Canted at an angle,
South lands have their longest day.
Slowly, over months, they swap.
Till first day and night equalise.
Then Summer sun revolves into view.
Till once again Autumn equinox flies past,
and Winter comes around again.
Colour/color
Zing, pow, wow, words
Colour, fields, world
Splashing, crashing, dashing
Down new ways and old.
Bold, hidden, subtle, explosions.
Harsh or soft.
Voom va voo.
Give me 54321…..
Lift off!
Colour or color
don’t care how you spell it..
Just share it!
Fish
Shimmering silver and gold,
Flicker in the sunshine,
catching erratic mayflies.
Slipping down the stream,
glinting and glimmering,
Sun and shade stripes of branches,
camouflaged and hidden
above the pebbled bed.
Leaping and jumping
flying fish for a second
mid air,
then like raindrops falling,
back into the crystal clear,
cold, brisk, water…
Sky swan
Well it’s a Swan,
No its a dragon?
Can’t you see its tail.
Welsh dragon?
Maybe…
One front leg raised up,
Waiting to greet its friend
The Unicorn.
Dalek
when I was a child
I watched Dr Who
I hid behind the settee,
I was scared of Daleks
Monsters scared me
The Icemen
The cybermen
Fighting in space
And on Earth..
Dr Who
Sci fi hero…!
This model Dalek was at Froghall Station a couple of years ago, if not more. It was wonderful to see. It was radio controlled. In the original series they were operated by men pedalling inside them and moving the weapons by hand. Nowadays they can climb steps in the modern series by hovering above them. But not in the 1960’s. I watched this classic TV series from the start. I wish I could time travel back then.

Middle word poem
Sometimes I just try to write random poems using the middle word of the suggested words on my screen… It can be interesting, or just plain weird. Here goes…..
X and I will try and get it done for you,

after the rest of the week,
after the rest of the….
I need to get my head round,
the back of the building,
and get the detail and shading correct
on the way to the airport
to get the computer set up.
So I can take over the role
of the rest of the team,
at the end of the week
after the rest of the week,
after the rest of the week……
I need to get my Xperia by Sony today
and tomorrow from 10 till 4.
Tomorrow morning,
and the rest of the week
after the rest of the week…..
I will try and get it done
for the Brampton tomorrow morning
and the rest of the week
after the rest of the week…..
(the rest of the week seems quite important in this one)
Daylight
Sun rising,
Light streams,
Illumination,
Bright dreams.
Light shining,
Night flees.
Dawn breaks,
Cold breeze.
Skies and Mirrors
Skies and mirrors,
sun and snow.
Branch and leaf,
Christmas views.
Winter shining
light and star,
Moonlit glowing
Glimmer far.
Powdered frosts
Mackerel skies,
Blue and white,
Black, green and grey.
Reflected world
Earth settled,
serene
seen
See.
