In a spin
My head whirls
Twists
Turns
Round and round
No way back
Just forwards
In time
The clock has ticked
Time goes fast
We have to follow
My spinning mind
Watches
Tick tick tock
The clock
Spinning
Down
In a spin
Tag: Poem
Gone, not gone?
My heart hurts
I miss you so much
I stroke your shadow
In my imagination
The way you purred
And pranced
Jumped high
Balanced like a gymnast
My podgy puddy cat
Leaned back and looked up
Paw high
Reaching
Waiting to nuzzle my hand
My memories
My dreams
You are still there.
Like Schrodinger’s Cat
Gone, not gone?
Lingering
Drinks?
Coloured drinks glasses
For…..
Fruit juice
Or……
Apple
And…..
Orange
Maybe
Lemonade?
All look good
In these
Lovely beakers.
Clematis
Beautiful
Lilac purple
Pattern plays
On my mind.
No one knows
How lovely
You are.
Growing quietly
in my garden
Bestowing lovely
Unfolding petals
In my heart.
My soul.
Sea
A year ago I was at home
A year ago I wasn’t by the sea.
Eighteen months ago
I was home…
I wasn’t by the sea.
No storms, no showers
No tides, no beaches
No lapping waters.
Bereft of waves
Tide out
Gone.
Hanging baskets
Two hanging baskets, one below the other, have gone mad this year!
A column of plants
Chlorophyll filled
Turning a house
Into a garden.
Green with splashes
Of colours, gaudy
Reminds me of
The sculptor
Gaudi!
A mosaic of flowers
Crushed together,
Late summer skills
Gardening thrills!
Strawberries and cream
Strawberries and cream
A delightful dish
Summers dream
Taste of bliss.
Sweet and lovely
Soft and silky
Red and white
Dessert delight!
Two pens
Holding two pens
I draw a face.
Hard to control,
The pens wobble
Tighter grip now
Try again…
The face emerges
The offset pens
Give it a blurred look.
An ancient roman
Apparently appears.
Purple
A mix of red and blue
This colour can impress
A historical royal hue
An expensive shade
Until a method
Of manufacturing
Artificial purple
Came into view
Made by mistake
When making Quinine.
Rain
Grey sky
Big raindrops
Walking through puddles
Toes damp
Coat let’s in water
Through the seams
Glasses steam up
Rain hood blocks
The view
Up and down streets
Supermarket to warm up
Walking with shopping
Plod on
Through the rain.
