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

#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

It might seem a bit funny – but I’m starting to miss the warm weather
the sun and its friend, mercury seem to have beaten a retreat
nights are drawing in, and furthermore – so is the cold
looking out of the window, it doesn’t even look like night
but the sun has taken its leave – and outside its not bright
perhaps i should have appreciated it when it was in town
when people were sat on the beach – getting brown
For now , i’m not sat by the beach
The warmth has gone – its out of reach
So i’ll sit by the heater with reading planned
and a Mug of hot cocoa – ee thats grand!
The aviators are circling
Preparing for their next great journey
It was great the past few weeks
In the warmth of a summer sun
But now they’re circling
The skies again
Getting ready to head off
To a place where it’s a little bit warmer
The cats and dogs smile at the sight
As the feathered friends flock, and prepare to take flight
My latest piece for Allpoetry.com
which I’ve decided to share with you all….enjoy
Fresh from a Lakeland reservoir
turned over by occasional waterfall
a polar bears delight
particularly in winter season
Hitting the receptacle crisply
it creates a bubble or two at the bottom
bringing out the flavour
of the drink it dilutes
Refreshment in Hot days
as well as cold
delivering fruitiness to the taste buds
like an bullet express train
Do you want it colder ?
then leave it in the fridge
or make it frosty instantly
with a couple of ice cubes

Signs that winter is on its way
Quite inquisitive fellow made his way across the garden fence
Under the fir trees and around the hyacinths
In search, of something
Round , red brown, and tasty to
Restock his larder for winter
Every now and then looking around, protecting his hide
Looking for morsels in every inch of the garden

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
Manchester, 8th May 2018
For some its a time, to say
Look at me
As the peacocks and peahens , strut their stuff
Until the departure of jack frost, they were quite – “Reserved”
Now they fluff their feathers, on the Northern shore
Till their preening catches a prospective mates eye
17th March 2018
Sat in the toolshed on St Patricks Day
Noting the barometer turned
Over from Frosty to warm
When all of a sudden the mercury goes into
Fast flowing freefall
And white powdery masses
Land like leprechauns
Lightly covering rooftops and cars
In the dawn light of a winters morning
its very hard to see
why the important man with his
very important briefcase
should be stood at the platform
getting covered in snow
if he’d listened to the announcer –
a bus arrived two minutes ago
but he let it pass
and like an ass
he stands there in the snow
in the Dim light of the station
Will he catch his train….hmmm? No.
