People
Look quite solid, when we are born
As we grow up, things change
Shaped by our elders, our teachers, our friends
Then formed by experience
In time, a degree of fluidity comes into play
Creativity, expression, emotion and love
Inscribed onto our characters and
New relationships…creating new
Experiences

taken into consideration
over years of treatment, therapy, and exercise
reaction to my medical condition could be
taken as torture as
under orders from the quacks I’ve been
really put through the ringer…
even though , looking back, it was doing me good

It’s hard for a seed
To grow up in the big city
As it flies from its mum
And falls to the floor
Drifting in the wind
If lucky, it will land
Onto soft warm soil
But usually, it finds concrete
So it sleeps , and it grows
Fed by the rain
While it finds its own way
Through the sand and the drains
Popping up for sunshine
To the world saying hello
Don’t pull it from the pavement
For a bit, let it grow.

A year to remember
else everyone forgets
the sacrifice of those
who joined up fighting
for king and country
each one now a memory
flowing down from the earth
a century later

Puzzles
perplexing
confusing
trialling
three words to describe an imagine puzzle
they arrive at the recipients house…fully completed
seems easy doesn’t it ? The simplest of objectives
dismantle and reconstruct
my advice….leave them in the cellophane
if you value a shred of your sanity
for once opened….it’ll take it bit by bit.

Ambitions stalled in an instant by the
Appalling addition of a red ink splodge
Added by the committee secretary
All the work and effort have disappeared
A Moment of madness to your supporters
“Application Denied”

Something on the seabed
enjoys the fare the simple algae provide
as the sea grass grows under their feet
something like what you’d see on the moors enjoys a feast
hopping around the sea bed and
eating his greens…much like a similar beast
existing above the water
perhaps that’s why he’s got a similar name

Was it the time we first met
That you settled your image in my head
Captivated by those eyes like jewels
And the engaging scent of a summer morning in winter
Your voice is everywhere…even in the silence
And my head turns round, to even the slightest image of you
Could you call it obsession ?
I’d call it possession
For everywhere I look
You’re there
You’ve taken my heart, without need of a knife
And somehow become a part of my life

You’ve been trying to climb that hill for a while now
facing off against its challenges
its crags, sharp sides and slippy hand holds
not to mention the wet slate underneath
dark purples your pals as you rose
overcoming every obstacle in your way
take in the rewards at the top
the view of the blue sky – its lovely.
A prompt from WordPress…you might see a lot of the letter A.
As summer departs and Autumn arrives,
Autumns palette begins to take over
A need for greens are discarded till winter
and reds, yellows, oranges and browns begin to
Appropriate the artists canvas.
Almond white meets up with acidic yellow
As other colours paint the carpet of leaves
Aviating through the wind and floating to the floor below them
