Alone

Hubby

You birthday was today

But there is no voice

No laughter

No sudden shout

Of annoyance or glee.

You were here, then gone

Lost in space

Not forgotten by me

But gone from the world

We always held hands

Grasping our dreams

Let’s go out

Take a trip?

Now I stay still

Remembering but not visiting

Still waiting

For your non return.

Anemometer

My Anemometer is spinning round

Twirling and twisting…

Maybe March winds have arrived?

The old saying goes

March is either in like a Lion and out Like a Lamb

Or vice versa…..

Today was gusty as a growling lion

Soon it’s paws might carry it

Across the land

Howling and Roaring.

Then gentle showers of April

Will come again…

Hello Spring.

Writing group prompt: A love poem?

You hold my heart in your hands.

Squeeze a little and my heart burns.

Squeeze a lot? Somersaults.

The thumping steadies.

I need blood pressure medication.

Once many years ago we met.

First sight love?

No, it took a while.

No dancing bliss.

I almost gave you a miss.

My first kiss? Shy.

Then you were my guy.

But once it started.

Love and happiness grew.

Blossomed in Spring.

Flowered in summer.

Was gentle in autumn.

But flew away and was lost in winter.

Now love and greif mix.

I can imagine no one else.

But you.

Cat

Which animal would you compare yourself to and why?

Ultimately I’d be a cat because I know them the best. I might have chosen tortoises, goldfish and stick insects, all animals I had as a child. But cars have been with me in one way or another for over 40 years (not the same one obviously).

Cats are loving, so am I,

Cats love sleeping, me too

Cats like playing, yeah to some extent

Cats like eating, no argument there….

Cats are graceful, well I can’t compete with them!
