Imagined sky

Those clouds aren’t real!

Not cirrus or cumulus

Not lenticular or mackerel

You played with the photo

Didn’t you?

Messing about with the sky

Those clouds up high

Could be on Jupiter

Or Mars!

But not here!

Get that clear!

Six months…

Six months since I lost you

Six months of sorrow

I don’t remember every day

But milestones on the way

Remind me of a voice lost

A physical presence gone.

When I feel down the loss is greater

I dispare that your life is over.

I still pray for you at night

And I wish with all my might

That you were still here

Even if you were not near

Sister, twin, friend

My love to you

I send.

Which animal would you compare yourself to and why?

If I could I’d be a cat

Eight meals a day

But still not fat

Treats on demand

From my owners hand

A bed in each room

For me to groom

And fall asleep

Warm and comfortable

Under the table

Or on the windowledge

Watching nature

Then outside

To chase leaves

And hide.

No answer

I’m not saying!

Oh you rascal!

I can’t move..

Pinned down

By my cat!

On my legs

Just out of reach

Inscrutable stare

Always there

When I wake up!

Now I’m stuck

But you’re so cute

I forgive you

You’re neat

And sweet!

Sunset glow

Behind the glass

Beyond the tree

And house of brick

Lies the hill.

Behind that hill

And valley wide

Sits the horizon

Where the sun rides.

It sinks below

And it’s last rays

Illuminates

A golden glow

On the glass

In brilliant ways.

Bring back bar charts!

Well I don’t like this swinging line

To other users it might be fine

But irritating I think it is

To see stats displayed like this

It gives me vertigo like I’ve drunk wine!

Oops! They are there! You have to slide the screen sideways!

Bucket list wish

Posted on March 4, 2023 Posted in Sketching, UncategorizedTagged Art, aurora borealis, bucket list, Colours, Drawing, Earth, Life, Light, Magnetic, Poem, Poetry, Sketching, SunLeave a comment

One day I want to see

Shimmering Northern lights

Lighting up the sky

The Aurora Borealis, bright.

Green or red or white…

Different colours, different elements

Curtains of particles

Flying on Earth’s magnetic field

Falling to land at the poles

Glowing glory

Suns power manifested in air

My bucket list wish.

Seen in England last week

But hidden by clouds….

Glass

Glass bright

Transparent

Light

Sparkle and shine

Malleable

Ground, sand

Melted silica

Moulded and pressed

Strong and brittle

Cast and blown

Overwhelmed

By its beauty

Old devices?

What do you do?

Stuff belongs to you

Full of metals

Thrown away

Digital devices

PC’s, Tablets, phones….

Lithium? Tantalum?

Rare earth metals

I don’t know

Dig up gold

Bury it in landfill?

Repair and recycle

Use our resources

Sensibly, sparingly

Safely….
