Grey clouds,
what can I make from you?
A curled up husky..
Neanderthal men?
A man’s head in profile
with long hair and beard?
A horses head…
A llamas face.
My random mind
makes things appear
from nothing more
Than water vapour,
and clouds.

Profile
Profile
You looked out in May
So proud and keen
Your profile reflected in glass
In the window.
Sure you would keep safe.
The sky would not fall…
Now you have dissolved,
Lost your identity.
Impaled on shards of humanity.
Sifted and sprinkled
With covid 19.
Stay safe they said
As you disappeared.

Leaf
Red and yellow
grey concrete
water washed
and slippery.
Leaf
warning tells me
beware wet leaves..
I just see beauty.
Relaxing cat
Quiet, peaceful, resting cat.
watching TV
With me.
Quiet, gentle, happy cat.
sleeping deeply,
Sleeping beauty.
Quiet, tired, needs a nap,
finding comfort,
giving support,
Quiet peaceful, happy cat.
Playing
Cat is chasing my knitting wool
Wrapped round its paws,
Across the room,
Fast like a famous footballer,
Knocking the ball
Back and forth.
Under the table,
Through the gap in the chairs,
Into a box…
She dribbles
She Scores!
She would beat any goalie!
Want longer lashes?
Oh my balding eyes
I don’t have long lashes,
or thick eyebrows.
But strangely
I don’t want them.
I’m happy with my lot.
Sticking gunk on my face
making my eyebrows arch..?
No, not for me,
it costs too much.
And I would poke myself,
In the eye….
The owl and the pussycat
The owl and the pussycat went to sea
And found they couldn’t swim
They had to call the coastguard out,
The captains name was Jim.
He told them to get in his boat
It was a pretty sight,
An owl, a cat and one old stoat
With souwester and pipe.
Limerick challenge…
I just wrote this at Easter Chiltons blog, where the prompt was to use the word nose on some part of the limerick…
I hope you think this is funny! 😂
Aged
Have I matured,
or aged?
Is my skin like parchment,
smooth and soft?
Or crumpled and full
of wrinkles?
Do I need ‘plumping up’
or ironing flat?
My age is my story,
my experience and thoughts.
Worn or rested.
Life takes its toll,
and continues on,
giving and taking.
Life has magic
and cruelty.
Give it chance
to take you
on your own special journey.
