Exhausted

I’m like a cat

Exhausted and tired

I want to curl up

Close my eyes

But I have a sore paw

(foot)

And I’m limping on crutches

I think I need the vet!

Some tender loving care

To return to health

Save my nine lives

Till later. X

X marks a spot?

No thanks!

X marks no spot

For me.

I have a choice

Now….

Delete the app

Or call for the bird

To be returned.

I’m still going twittering

Not X-ing

Not X-citing

Maybe X-it causing?

Impositon

Without consultation.

X-tremely annoying!

Treacle tart treat

You were a star!

You filled my tummy

You were yummy

At lunchtime

You gave me a boost

You loosed

Energy

Sweet and

Tasty.

Lunch today

Cheese on oatcakes

Yummy tubes

Of oaty goodness.

Made of batter

Made with oats

On a griddle

Served sizzling hot

Melted cheese

And hp sauce

Make a snack

Or a meal.

Delicious with jam too

Staffordshire oatcakes

For me or you!

Childhood memory?

My teachers nails as she dragged them down the blackboard always got our attention!

Screech…

Scratch…

Searing the air

To my ears!

Watch out

Teachers about!

Find your place

In your book

Get your work done?

Or detention!

100 lines

“I will listen to teacher”

Or screeeee ch!

Wet cat!

He’s just come in

Soaking wet

Sopping, dripping

Like an otter

His coat sparkles

With water droplets

Now a wash, licking up

A bowl of water almost

In his coat.

How long will his tongue

Take to towel himself dry?

Farewell little Bluebird,

You will never tweet again

X marks the spot where you sat

Crossed out by a new logo

Time to say goodbye X

Grass, glass, gleam

Green….

Glint, clink, clash

With red!

Swirl, twirl, filaments

Shiny, glint

Reflected

Absorbing, refracting

Sphere, sheer, encased

Plant like

Solid

Bubbles, blown

Green glass

Paperweight

You never know

When you reflect

What you will get?

What’s in a name?

I keep meeting her name

I see someone

They have her name

Each one a gut wrench

Bullet to my heart

Didn’t know how many

People I know

Had her name.

She’s gone,

But I’m reminded

Constantly

Surge of sadness

Bumps into my mind

Almost daily.

Goodbye forever

Twin.
