Tranquil water

Posted on November 26, 2020 Posted in UncategorizedTagged 1980's, Bright days, Life, Photo, Poem, Poetry, Summer, Sunshine, Tranquil, Water2 Comments

Tranquil water

Peat stained stream

Full of life

Nature’s dream.

Tiny fish

That hide in pools

How I miss

Ice cream, cool

Dappled sunlight

Dusty paths

Sometimes too bright,

Sunlights flash!

Over stepping stones…

Feet to splash

Memories recalled

Of times fast dash.

Playing cat

Paws up under the thow

Head out, mirowing!

Climbs up,

Head thrown back!

Claws tear the chair arm

Jump

And

Pounce

Twist

And

Jump!

Sister runs past

Cat slalom off

Into the distance…..

Zooming

Posted on November 24, 2020 Posted in UncategorizedTagged Choir, Fun, Meeting, Music, Poem, Poetry, Singing, Video calls, ZoomLeave a comment

Zooming around and singing

Looking from face to face

Video calls are booming

Talking around all night

Ladies and gents

Are choiring

Baritone, alto and bass

Having fun with music

Playing a lively tune.

Descants and sopranos

Fun around half past eight.

Old Wood..

Wood rots and crumbles

Fingers of fungus bore in

Fruiting bodies bloom

Blossom and grow.

Saporophytic feeding

Sucking nutrients

From cellulose.

From dead wood

New life grows.

White Amaryllis

Posted on November 22, 2020 Posted in UncategorizedTagged Amaryllis, Celebrate, Fun, Glow, Light, Night, Photo, Poem, Poetry2 Comments

It flowered

And I had to show it

Resplendent trumpet

In electric light

Will you flower forever

Or fade away

Winter wonder

Snow White petals

My boy

Indoor boy cat

Lies and waits

Wary eye turned

Towards the door.

Will outdoor boy

come in?

Eat his food

Drink his milk

Pinch his place

On the couch?

All is quiet

All is well

Sleep kitty,

Dream of toy sheep

If outdoor boy arrives

I will keep him from you.

Light, rare sun.

As the leaves go

The light sneaks in

Under the branches

Pools on the cupboard

Shadows flicker

A golden dawn

Frost laden

Rays are weaker now

Days are shorter

Past equinox

Night extends

Smile when you see

Rare sun.

Blow wind

Make leaves fly

Scattered colours

Sky high

Fallen mounds

Of cold dry leaves

Kicked up and scattered

In November chills

Ice and water

Rain and gales

Scattered colours

Dancing swirls.

In the woods

Over hills,

Along the roads

Spreading far and wide.

Transfer files

Oh no!

My phone is full.

Transfer data to SD card…

OK,

Where have my pictures gone?

What’s happened

Pictures missing

Headache

I’ve lost pictures I was going to use for a painting!

Red flower

Posted on November 14, 2020 Posted in UncategorizedTagged Flower, Memory, Photo, Poem, Poetry, Recollection, Red, SadLeave a comment

Red flower

Green stem

Subtle shadows

Small vase

White wall

Old photo

Memory

Shriveled

Wilted

But recalled

Recollected
