Renewed

I was sad to see winter

I want life to be renewed

Green and gold leaves

Pink blossom

Blue sky with fluffy clouds

Pour on a wash of yellow

Daffodils and tulips

Give me Spring!

Now.

Hot

I am not cold tonight

I’m hot

Spicy food got me

I feel heated up

My blood boils

Thirst grabs my throat.

A bit of spice attacks

Makes me blaze

Too much flavour

I like some spices

But chilli does not make me chilly

It makes me hot

Burning mouth

Need water

Less next time

Please

Sleep

I close my eyes and wish

For sleep to kiss my cheek

Caress my tired neck

And let me rest my mind.

Instead I lie awake

Uncomfortable and sad

If I could ignore the world

Lose my thoughts

I would be glad.

Night ticks into day

Light blooms in my eyes

I want real sleep to stay

To end my tired gloom.

Still there….

The tall chimney tapers

High up in the air

Birds soar around its slender height.

Blustery and white

Clouds scud across the blue

A memorial to ancient potters

Who wheezed in its smoky shadow.

Coughed clay into spittoons

Made and created beauty

Paid little

Working hard

In their race to death.

Imagined sky

Those clouds aren’t real!

Not cirrus or cumulus

Not lenticular or mackerel

You played with the photo

Didn’t you?

Messing about with the sky

Those clouds up high

Could be on Jupiter

Or Mars!

But not here!

Get that clear!

Six months…

Six months since I lost you

Six months of sorrow

I don’t remember every day

But milestones on the way

Remind me of a voice lost

A physical presence gone.

When I feel down the loss is greater

I dispare that your life is over.

I still pray for you at night

And I wish with all my might

That you were still here

Even if you were not near

Sister, twin, friend

My love to you

I send.

Cat

Which animal would you compare yourself to and why?

If I could I’d be a cat

Eight meals a day

But still not fat

Treats on demand

From my owners hand

A bed in each room

For me to groom

And fall asleep

Warm and comfortable

Under the table

Or on the windowledge

Watching nature

Then outside

To chase leaves

And hide.

No answer

Oh you rascal!

I can’t move..

Pinned down

By my cat!

On my legs

Just out of reach

Inscrutable stare

Always there

When I wake up!

Now I’m stuck

But you’re so cute

I forgive you

You’re neat

And sweet!

Sunset glow

Behind the glass

Beyond the tree

And house of brick

Lies the hill.

Behind that hill

And valley wide

Sits the horizon

Where the sun rides.

It sinks below

And it’s last rays

Illuminates

A golden glow

On the glass

In brilliant ways.
