JUST AS I TURNED A CORNER
UNDER AN ADORNED ARCHWAY
EXITED BY THE VISTA BEFORE ME
TOURIST THRONGED STREETS
ALL DRESSED IN DIOR AND DIAMONDS
PAUPERS PERCHED IN PAPER HOUSES
OFFER ALMS TO HUNGRY SOULS
SEE THE WORLD IN ALL PERSPECTIVES
EASY TO IGNORE – PASS BY
DON’T LET IT SPOIL THE PARTY.

Looking for a bronze suntan :

It’s not raining – am I dreaming
Is someone up there scheming
Drifting passed clear blue skies
Pulling clouds across my eyes.

Summer’s here it’s not snowing
Bring an umbrella if you’re going
Factor fifty for the pool
It’s frozen over – what a fool.

Never trust the weather – man
Looking for that bronze suntan
Global warming – melting snow
Season’s changing- who’s to know.

It’s a conundrum at 5 AM.

Open my eyes – daybreak
Underneath damp morning clay, dandelions – Daisies awake
Drink in that sparkling dew.

Jackdaws call from rooftops high
Above a symphony of birdsong
Maybe I’ll rise – meet the day
I stare at my watch – sigh.

Five AM – I’m wide awake
What will I do for goodness sake
Roll out of bed – my limbs to test
Reset the clock – return to rest.

MONEY TALKS ACROSTICALLY.

M Means to golden riches
O Only if controlled
N Never let it lead you
E Eating up your soul
Y Yet it’s something that we strive for.
T Taking risks to find
A Asking us those questions
L Like have you peace of mind
K Kindness is in giving
S Spend it to be kind.

Silence

Silence sparkled – not a sound
Comfort- caring – all abound
Carefree – barefoot – meadow mown
Sink within a new seed sown.

Search into a troubled soul
Reaching out – regain control
Nettles – thistles – stinging skin
Nature’s healing powers – begin.

So this world is not so bleak
If only we that spirit seek
Step back a moment – breathe – unwind
It’s then that silence you will find.
