JUST A DREAM
Relaxed in a deckchair in a haze of satisfaction
Peace and quiet with no more hectic interaction
Two weeks of bliss doing just what she wished
As the golden sun smiled, the world was kissed
Gently foaming waves glistened with silver tips
As soft droplets of salt water moistened her lips
Rudely disturbed by a shower of scattered sand
She flicked it away and drifted off to dreamland
As reality crept in, she focused her dreamy eyes
And watched her children chase after butterflies
The sandpit abandoned, also buckets and spades
With a sigh she rose and removed her eyeshades
She drifted indoors as imagination began to fade
To return laden with fresh cookies and lemonade
Happy little faces smiled with innocence and fun
Stuffing their faces, trying to outdo the other one
Emotions took over as she stored her dream away
The rich pleasures of the moment fulfilled her day

A Storm at Sea

A STORM AT SEA
A storm at sea releases a huge emotional swell
Intrigue and mystery, power in a magical spell
Bitter rain, cold and harsh from relentless skies
Oblivious to all the suffering and hopeless cries
Tossed around on waves ships flounder and roll
Facing the dark anger, the turmoil taking its toll
Gasping for breath men stand soaked to the skin
Clinging to each other, hoping the sea won’t win
The sky rumbles and flashes in threatening intent
The sea will claim its victims, it will never relent
A spiteful message, with its arrogance unleashed
So magnificent, respecting neither man nor beast
A real storm shows incredible passion and display
When cast over the sea, it really does have its day

THE SUN’S MIRACLE
Watching people’s faces light up with a smile
I spied something that’s been missing a while
The Sun, that glorious, blazing sphere of light
The dull grey outlook is now incredibly bright
Grass sparkles with lush green colour to please
Trees are suddenly covered with shining leaves
Rich kaleidoscopes of beautiful colours display
The brilliant blue skies watch clouds drift away
Soft aromas of wafting flowers fill the clear air
Cheerful people find time to just stand and stare
Mysterious light mists float over hidden streams
Nature’s gentle touch is awakened by sunbeams
The comforting heat inspires miracles of rebirth
Seeds planted in hope explode up from the earth
People become friendly, the world a happy place
Just look at the sheer pleasure on everyone’s face

Worth the Wait

WORTH THE WAIT
For a long remembered time they had wanted a pet
But their parents reply was, we cannot afford it yet
‘Just yet’ lasted forever and they were growing fast
Their childhood desires gradually fading to the past
Another birthday loomed, the twins soon to turn ten
But by now they were hoping for a TV for their den
On their birthday morning downstairs the boys crept
Eating breakfast in their den, as the parents still slept
There were scuffling sounds, a gentle tap on the door
And a flurry of tangled legs bounded across the floor
Two little wet noses sniffed at the hands reaching out
Two ecstatic little boys knew what patience was about

The Secret of Clothes

THE SECRET OF CLOTHES
A woman’s world, without a pretty dress
Is like wandering round in the wilderness
A cheerful face masks the anguish within
Silence speaking volumes to belie the grin
A woman who is dressed like a work of art
Confident and proud has only joy to impart
Giving off an aura portraying sheer delight
Knowing full well she is an attractive sight
A woman who dresses in comfortable attire
Walks the easy paths, of familiarity’s desire
Unconcerned with the looks that others give
Doing her own thing, how she wants to live
A woman who chooses casual smart clothes
Is equipped for anything, wherever she goes
At work or play, travelling or meeting a date
Lifting the spirits, even having a hand in fate

At the End of a Day

AT THE END OF A DAY
There is nothing to surpass the comfort of a warm bed
Feeling safe and secure with a soft pillow for the head
Drifting into dreams, with sweet music in gentlest play
Releasing all the tensions and worries of a stressful day
When the night sky becomes angry and rumbles in pain
Releasing spiteful torrents of cascading threatening rain
Snuggled safely beneath covers feeling smug and secure
The turmoil outside fades away, to make another detour
When the night’s dark curtain sparkles with illumination
The Moon’s hazy glow inspires images and imagination
Lost to a distant world, where paradise is never far away
Sleep comes with a calmness, to prepare for another day

I Love My Computer!

I LOVE MY COMPUTER!
My computer died and it’s panic all round
A lifeless dark screen and no hint of sound
Knowing what to do would be a good thing
Unfortunately I can’t fix it so who do I ring
Trying to sort out a muddle of tangled wires
Not damaging vital parts so it totally expires
Pulling leads out and then putting them back
Now a response, hopefully it’s back on track
Now do I treat it kindly, or tell it what I think
A piece of equipment, that’s gone out of sync
Now pull the other leg, it has a heart and soul
Shredding my nerves to become out of control
I can breathe again, lovingly dusting the screen
Welcome back computer, where have you been
Please don’t tease or plunge me deep in despair
I admit I was ruffled, you gave me quite a scare

SUNSET
It’s the most beautiful sight that anyone can see
The glorious setting sun, over a crystal blue sea
Bewitching colours ablaze, to illuminate the sky
Reflecting off gentle waves and pleasing the eye
Hazy sun’s rays creating a glowing radiant light
To softly fade and make way for a velvety night
The spectacular phenomenon calms an inner soul
Mother Nature superb, painting with such control

Surviving a New Phase

SURVIVING A NEW PHASE
One minute she’s riding ponies, Daddies little girl
But suddenly her life becomes an emotional whirl
Losing interest in riding and her boring school life
Yet not quite ready for a load of trouble and strife
Desiring freedom to have fun, enjoy all she could
Yet her parents contained her, frustrated she stood
She made a show of taking the dog for a long walk
And met up with her friends to make plans and talk
A major crossroad needs debate and common sense
It is easy to be tempted to the wrong side of a fence
Coping with wild hormones, facing what lies ahead
Learning to organise and cope, not hideaway in bed
Decisions lay heavy on the shoulders of young folk
Independent and stubborn and treating life as a joke
She was no exception and had to learn to slow down
Preparing for a bright future with a smile not a frown
Nothing’s easy but she was determined to make good
It was goodbye to ponies to move on from childhood

WORDS
Letters mean nothing if they don’t form a word
Typing without looking, the result often absurd
Sign language is great, a spoken word is unique
Giving most of us a voice, opportunities to seek
It is fascinating to hear different pronunciations
People and accents from myriads of destinations
Words can cause confusion, but with a lot of fun
Children so amusing as they try to ask a question
There are words that have more than one meaning
People invent their own, that often need screening
New generations are more outrageous than the last
Some old words survive, like a blast from the past
Words make up stories, poems and interesting news
People can air their thoughts and consider all views
Communication is easy, but the spoken word is best
To speak words face to face simply passes every test
