Cats and clutter

I took these photos within minutes of each other. This is my painting chair where I prop up my canvases while painting at home. I’m between paintings at the moment so the cats often sit on it. The house is full of “stuff” that Mey or may not be used as subject matter. Hence this poem!

Cats and clutter, clutter and cats.

Do the two go together

Like mittens and bats?

Like bread and butter

Like lamb and spring

Grapes and wine

Cheese and bread?

We all live differently

Each to his own

Cats and clutter are in my home!

Sad face

Digital drawing, done quickly after watching an art challenge programme on TV. I used ArtRage oils free app. Then I decided to write a poem to verbally illustrate it.

Sad Face

Eyes unfocused

Thinking of a sad place

Ready to weep,

Memories to keep

Warmly wrapped in love.

Sad face

Can you ever be

Happy again?

Lost in a reverie

Of memory

Sad face

Long face

Long may you seek

Peace.

Stray cat

You like our garden, stray cat,

You like my kitty cats food.

You like sitting on my

Soon to be erected shed!

You drink out of the pond,

Walk on wet concrete

And leave your 🐾 paw prints

Eat from picnic sandwiches

Sit on the benches

And deck chairs

Climb the trees

Chase the birds

Act like you own the place?

But then go home!

Pancakes

We found this company who cater for parties and events. They catered for my partners birthday a couple of years ago. Came up on Facebook memories. I decided to write this poem x

Found this photo

Two years old

Pimpin pancakes

Hot or cold

Super tasty

Fruit or veg

Making batter

With an edge.

Bananas, apples

Whatever you like

Add some syrup

And a flake.

Nice to eat

Good to taste

Can’t be beat

There’s no waste!

Molecules

Molecules spin

Atoms twist,

Protons crackle

Neutrons buzz

Electrons fizz

Quarks charm

Muons jitter

Neutrinos just don’t bother…….

Aries the Ram

Looking at you,

Head tilted.

Ready to charge you,

Run at you.

Butt you.

Start of April,

A constellation

Up in the sky

Aries the Ram

Force of nature.

Hard headed

April showers

Hit your head with hail.

Wind whips round

Like a Ram

Bashes you

Thumps you.

Weather and stars

Adventure and growth.

Am I the only one who thinks we need a bit of peace? A bit of friendship between races and religions?

Peace

Give us peace

Give us love

Share gentleness

Fairness

Harmony,

Happiness,

Equality.

Don’t fight and worry

Don’t be angry

Turn the other cheek

Be at Peace.

Life is too short

To be at war.

The world is full of words

Talk is cheap

Grey green gold gossip

Muddy, murky muttering

Sharp staccato shouting.

Pink pretty pouting purring,

Cracked cramped cackles.

Light lilting, laughing lullabies…

Singing or sonorous sound scapes

Violent verbosity

Quiet qualities of queen’s English.

Extravagant evangelising.

Whispered wailing.

Yes words are cheap and cheerful or cheerless.

I phoned you

I phoned you

You didn’t answer

I phoned you

I left a message.

I rang you

There was no answer

I tried and tried

Unknown number

I rang again

There is no service for this number.

No whisper, no sound

No contact

No sign

No signal

Brrrrrrrrr…………. . ……….
