Clouds

Posted on January 26, 2023 Posted in Fine Art, UncategorizedTagged Art, Clouds, Fine Art, illuminated, Light, Painting, Poem, Poetry, Spode Reflected, WindowLeave a comment

I do like a nice cloud

Fluffy and full

Ready to rain

Ponds to fill still,

I like that cumulus

Or maybe a cirrus

Lenticular clouds

Spectacular layers.

Light shines through them

Illuminates your dreams

That silver lining

Will cheer you still.

Levitating cat?

Posted on January 25, 2023 Posted in Cat, UncategorizedTagged Black and white cat, Box, Cat, Chair, Fun, Levitate, Lying down, Photo, Poem, Poetry, Rhyme, Sleep, Tuxedo catLeave a comment

Front paws on a chair

Back legs on a box

Sagging between

Or levitating above.

Comfy you say?

But what if he sleeps.

Will he fall off?

How can he stay.

Stuck on a space

That doesn’t support

While a foot away

A comfy sofa!

Boring tv

Posted on January 22, 2023 Posted in UncategorizedTagged celebrities, Dislikes, goggle box, hate, idols, Poem, Poetry, Programme, Sad, Thinking, TVLeave a comment

I hate game shows

Quiz shows

Ice skating shows.

I dislike celebrities

Making cakes

Making music

diving and dancing

I can’t stand

Pop idol

Big brother

Goggle box.

Am I alone?

I guess hate is wrong

The wrong word

But the TV is not always good

We are drowning in crud.

Tea

Posted on January 20, 2023 Posted in Fine Art, UncategorizedTagged Acrylic on canvas, Art, Drink, Fine Art, Painting, Poem, Poetry, Rhyme, Tea, tea pot, tea time2 Comments

Tea for who?

Tea for you

With scones and jam

Or sandwich of ham?

Straight from the pot

It’s nice and hot

A fresh dark brew

Don’t let it stew!

Blue and white china

Nothing can be finer

From Stoke-on-Trent

To a friend, sent

A birthday gift

For them to lift

And then to pour

With milk and more.

Magenta?

Posted on January 19, 2023 Posted in UncategorizedTagged Beautiful, Dahlia, delicate, Gardening, Plants, Poem, Poetry, Pompom dahlia, RhymeLeave a comment

Magenta or pink

What do you think?

A pompom dahlia

Beauty not failure

A garden delight

A lovely sight

Meditation in mauve?

I must be in love!

Comfort-cat

He couldn’t be more comfortable

Like a bug in a rug

A chick in a nest

A coiled warm snake

A dog in a vest

A bear in its den.

A goldfish in its bowl

A bee in its hive.

He’s happy to have his belly rubbed.

A comfort-cat enjoying life.

Great purrs-onality!

Bookcase

Posted on January 15, 2023January 15, 2023 Posted in UncategorizedTagged appalling, bookcase, Books, Collection, Fun, grammar, Poem, Poetry, Rhyme, Silly, WordsLeave a comment

A lifetime of collection

A wide selection

Stacked in a case

Of wood, a place

To keep your mind

You thoughts find

Sections of thought

Over the years, you bought

But still despite it all

My grammar is still appall

ING!

Staring cats

Posted on January 14, 2023 Posted in Cat, Sketching, UncategorizedTagged Black and white cat, Cat, Eyes, Looking, noticing, Poem, Poetry, Staring, Tuxedo cat, View, wildLeave a comment

Hours of staring

Looking, viewing

Taking time to see

What is moving

Running, twitching

What could it really be?

Cat is looking

Viewing, staring

Through the window wide

Keep the door closed

Keep him inside

Well away from the wild….

Statue?

Posted on January 12, 2023 Posted in UncategorizedTagged fairy folk, Fun, Garden, Grey, Life, Poem, Poetry, Quiet, Statue, stilled, Tangled, TiedLeave a comment

Statue covered in ivy

Blackberry twined around

Fairy or tree sprite?

Grown over and stilled

A grey statue instead of

A living spirit of love.

The overgrowth expands

Tying down more fairy folk

Silencing their songs.

Tangled and held…

Doodles

Posted on January 9, 2023 Posted in Sketching, UncategorizedTagged Art, Black ink pen, Creativity, Design, Doodles, Drawing, Feelings, Felt pens, Life, Poem, Poetry, Sketching5 Comments

Sometimes my pen drifts

Across the paper

Black pen and colour

Shading over the lines

Faces and a donkey?

Why not play

Create a design

Learn and develop

Experience and experiment.
