Growing up or growing old?
I don’t feel old enough for wisdom but I’m too old for youth. I’m not as young as I’d like Not as healthy as I was. But I’ve walked further, seen more sights, overcome more hurdles. I’m not the same as I was. I’m not the same as I will become.

My Meteorological Friends
Sparkle sparkle little star have you travelled very far? Will you be seen tomorrow night or will time snuff out your little light? Puffy fluffy little cloud floating like a rain filled shroud. Will you soak us all today or take your droplets far away? Blowy blowy windy day just a gust or here to…

Cloud Poetry
As part of our homeschooling, we have been doing all things cloud and tried poetry this week – reading and writing. Here are my efforts: The Cloud The dark blanket sweeps over my sky, like a villain in a story I heard. The sun is covered, retired for the day, the gloom has silenced the…

Welcoming Autumn
The winds are changing now like guards whose shift is done. New strength is being sought for tasks that are to come. Sun shyly hides but bright when seen through gathered clouds up high. Their many shades of grey add interest to the sky. The trees are what we notice, their colours not unseen. Floating…

Poorly Dog
Our poor wee dog was sick, my hairy child was ill. Breathing fast and shaking, then lying very still. We took him to the vet, to see what they could do – the pound signs on the wall, should have been my first clear clue. 50 quid to see him, 20 for a jag, “He’ll…

British Rail – A Student’s Journey
The horn blows again as the trees go blurring past. They’re all moving backwards and disappearing fast. I decide to buy a drink when the trolley man comes round, What else can I afford with my one little pound? I took out a can and he gave me a cup, I assume its to avoid…

Interpretations
. What do you see? A little round dot, A wee black splodge Or a miniscule spot? Or maybe you see A shape with no name Or you don’t look at all – You don’t like this game. Just what you can see Depends on your view. Or you could close your eyes, But thats…

This Is For Free!
Roll up roll up – Disappearing fast This doesn’t cost a penny But its effects will last Make a big impression Leave a smile upon their face For this mobile miracle Can be used in every place You don’t need equipment Technology or spanners Just remain aware It counts when you use manners!

Hindsight
If you knew 10 years ago The things you know today, Would you have taken this same route, Or would have rather stayed away? For when the hands of time have ceased And reflecting on your while, Will you regret, shout or blame – Or would you rather smile?

For My Garden Bees
I want to take a moment just to say thank you. All your efforts, All your time – not even knowing what you leave behind. Because of you I see fruit, I see flowers, I gather seeds as the season ends. But you don’t know this. So my thank you will be: more flowers. Next…

Daily Travelling
I’ve travelled far, Seen many places And haven’t left the kitchen. Music on, Birds singing to it – And I let them take me away. Every day a new place: A brief visit – A happy glimpse, Till I visit again Tomorrow.
