Tuesday 11th December
A little treat, hides behind the
Doors of the advent calendar
Veiled behind some cardboard and foil
Each door has something tasty behind it
Noting the days passing
Towards Christmas Day

Sounds
Acrostic, Cities, Poetry, Winter#sounds #acrostic
Sunday evening, is a whole lot quieter than Sunday morning
Outside, the rumble of traffic is down to a minimum
Unless it’s a plane or a train you want to catch
Navigating those roads should be a breeze
Double glazing muffles any noises, and the wildlife are
Sleeping in their beds soundly, keeping warm
Cedar
Nature, PoetrySalford 3rd December
A response to the daily challenge at Daily word prompt
Conquering the blue
Each one towering over the other to get to the clouds
Dynamic in their structure
As their red branches and green fronds
Rise high up in the sky
Candle
Christmas, Poetry, WinterSunday 2nd December 2018
#advent #candle #christmas
Creating light out of darkness
A sign of new things to come
Now that advent is underway each
Decorated candle will be
Lit bringing light to the house and as
Each candle is lit, Christmas comes closer
Prodding around
Health, PoetrySalford, 16th November 2018
Sat in the dental chair
With a little bit of trepidation
Each square ivory, wiggled, scraped, and prodded
As the dentist checked for excavation
Reaction to the prodding….censored
It’s not as if they could see the hole or
Nerve they hit
Got to admit, you could hear the cry from beyond the surgery
Old friends
PoetrySalford, 14th November 2018
Memories of a mate, brought back in an instant
A blast from the past, delivered with a click
Noted – you’ve not talked for a while
Changes in address do that
Hoping – they remember your name
Expectations raised as they recognise your face
Someone should have said – its the passing of time
Talk about the old days, in a familiar place
Engaging about others
Round a table with Tea and cake
Ascending II
Greece, Holidays, PoetryManchester (Via Rhodes) , 5th November 2018
As the fire took hold of the wood
I watched magical trails rise high in the air
Releasing colourful patterns in the sky
Rhodes ancient buildings painted
Over by Beautiful light
Created by Ignition – rising over walls and
Keep of the old city , bringing smiles to
Excited children and adults alike
Taking vacations on the island
Stars
Acrostic, Poetry, Space1st November 2018
Somewhere out in the northern skies
There’s a little blue man
Aiming to communicate…he’s
Really far away, but
Sends you a signal from off in the distance
Plain sight
Dragons, Poetry
#octpowrimo #hidden #dragons
the mighty dragons didn’t disappear,
reality is…they took a different form
each knight giving up their quest of vanquish as
every dragon decided to rest among the greens
Seen hiding in the forests, or swimming in the depths
In retreat
Acrostic, Poetry, Seasons, Weather, Winter#octpowrimo
winters calling,
in some ways, the mercury retreating was
notably a sign from the thermometer
travelling swiftly toward the bulb
even the food has changed from salads to
roasts and shepherds pie
