All Hallows Night

As darkness descends upon us

And the moon casts an eerie glow

On the last day of October

It is All Hallows Eve, you know

Acrostic Poem: Humour

Poetry challenge: Acrostic poem.


H Holding onto your sides

U Unable to control the feeling

M Making fun of the mundane

Faking It!

The kids, at last, are sleeping

Your  partner’s in the mood

He’s nibbling on your earlobe

But you’d rather have some food!

Miracles

The cry of a newborn baby

As he takes his first gulp of air

Despite being born at 28 weeks

He’ll survive with lots of care

Oh, How I Wish I was Graceful

Oh how I wish I was graceful

and not a disaster on wheels

I trip over every obstacle

And my shoes have got broken off heels

Strength

Together we are stronger

And our voices will be heard

We want to join together

And make a difference with our words

You May write me Down in History…

You may write me down in history

As one who tried her best

You may write me down in history

As someone who was blessed

The Stream – A San San

Tinkling water venturing into the unknown

Slipping, swirling through the naked trees’ spindly fingers

Whilst the rain-drenched banks stand tall

Listening, as the water tinkles over the concealed stones,

Seasons

Summer days spent swimming

And picnics on the sands

Strolls along the seafront

Lovers holding hands

Believe

Sometimes I lacked the confidence

To try out something new

Despite a burning ambition

To make my dreams come true

Happiness for me is….

When the sun is shining

and there’s a gentle, cooling breeze

When the birds are singing

And playing in the trees.

Roses

I love all kinds of roses

Their colours all different hues

Their perfume sweet and heady

Just takes  away my blues

A Little Smile Goes a Long Way

It doesn’t cost a penny

Yet is a priceless gift

It can mend a heart that’s broken

It can heal a nasty rift

Sex on the Beach

A scorching hot summer, a handsome young couple

Their bodies glisten with sweat

Hair slicked back, damp from the sea

This beach is where they first met

Social Networking

I try to use Social Networks

To talk about my blog

But being tech-illiterate

I’d have more luck plaiting fog!

Afraid of the Dark

There’s one thing I don’t say very often

It sounds a bit silly to some

But I really don’t like being in darkness

It is a fear that I can’t overcome!

Rebirth

When I sit here writing

I can be who I want to be

I can go on long adventures

Or I could solve a mystery

Tree Style

 

Majestically it stands there

Surveying all it sees

The winter branches barren

Devoid of lush green leaves.

A Couple of Limericks

There once was a young lady from Kent

Who lived for a year in a tent

But the scratchy brown grass

Was a pain in the arse

So she is refusing to pay all her rent!

Utopia

There is no such thing as Utopia

But if there was, for me it would be

Days filled with beautiful sunshine

And home would be right by the sea.

There would be no sickness or hunger

A New Woman

The reflection in the mirror

Told her that she looked just great

The look she had put together

Was just perfect for a date.

Never ‘Just a Mum’

You wake up constantly through the night

To each and every cry

You soothe, you feed, you  keep them clean

Then croon a lullaby

Musical Mood

I do love to listen to music

It really brightens my day

When I am feeling all down and depressive

I dig out some good records to play!

Laughter in our Lives

We all need a good sense of humour

It is essential for us to survive

A good laugh brings us closer together

It is what keeps the magic alive

Food for Thought

I have a bit of an addiction

This really is not very good

Not that I’ve given up smoking

I’ve become more attracted to food

Magic

Magic is all around us

If only we choose to see.

The first cry of a baby

Delicious honey from a bee

Directionless

I’ve got no sense of direction

When driving, I haven’t a clue

If it wasn’t for good old Sat Nav

I really don’t know what I’d do!

Mind Your Manners

I really hate seeing bad manners

People who are surly and rude

Who forget how to say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’
