Time is flying

A week ago

It peeked around the corner

A fuzzy splodge of time

A week before

It was almost non existent.

Today it’s almost gone

It’s tide going out.

Soon to be forgotten

Again

Times arrow flys forward

But it’s flight feathers

Burn like a comet

Behind it.

Www.Weekago?

Driving in fog

I drove up into fog

Cloud coming down to greet me

November fog and mist banks.

Cold dank cloud

Overall grim and frightening

One huge hound

At the side of the road

Waiting to pounce

If you slow down…..

She

She’s lovely, she’s sweet.

She sticks her claws in my knees

Says hello, it’s very cute

But those claws are a brute

Holey trousers, ripped shins,

Make me weep, ouch and eek!

I love her dearly, so much more

But I think my knees don’t need he paw!

Cats paws (poem)

His paws are huge

Like a leopard or lion

Stretched out in a tree

Curled up like a kitten

I see him sleeping

Paws twitch, ears alert

Full of purrs

Running like a cheetah

Through a forest

Of dreams…..

Oh for summer

I want to time travel

Back to Cornwall

Back to happy days

Laughing and crying

With happiness.

Warm sunshine

And late sunsets

Beautiful countryside

Gentle breezes

Walking across fields

Passing cows and horses

Before the sadness.

Upset last night…

My eyes flood with tidal waves of tears.

Storm clouds have darkened my brows.

Salt tears course down my cheeks.

Time has flown, she is gone.

My sister – my twin.

Written and drawn at 4am. Things just got to me again and it seemed a good way of expressing myself.

Going…

Yellow, gold and brown

All the leaves fall down

Fallen in a mound

As the wind whirls round

Rain streaks the windows

As the wild storm blows

Hail mixed into icy rain

Knocks more leaves down again

Time has ended for them now

Rotten, crumbled, so they go.

Under seven trees

Under seven trees,

Branches entwined

Roots tangled

One organism

Whole

Someone planned them

Years ago

Someone pulled them

Into a hide or tent

Someone cared for them

Now they are a wonder

In Trentham Park.

Brown

Brown is boring

Brown’s like grey

Such a shame

Is there no way

To be exciting

On a cold wet day

It looks so drab.

But a shaft of sunlight

Brightener of all

Lifts it to Golden brown

Or the colour of copper kettles

Bronzed or even brassy

Makes me happy

Brown can be sassy

Four am view

Looking out at four am

Through steamed window

The view is obscured

By a dying plant

(sadly too cold)

A cat doorstop

Cat food

A wind up radio

And a cow creamer.

Very random.

Too tired to rhyme.
