A poetic licence to experiment








A special dream of love tonight
wake up feeling warm, bright
all your troubles washed away
keeping negative thoughts at bay
energised, breathing in
nightmares thrown into a bin
eagerly see what could be
days filled with positivity.
Turning to a brand new page
only laughter to engage.
Altogether happy place.
Nagging thoughts all locked away
eager to begin the day
walk away from those who judge.
Drift into a happy state
allow yourself to drop that weight
with the help of those around
new horizons will be found.

Poetry day Ireland : theme. There will be time.
There will be time enough to visit
beaches, forests, mountains climb
perhaps notice all the benefits
of nature’s private time.
soul searching in your solitude
exercising that grey matter
speaking on the internet
some virtual pitter patter.
Pristinely painted premises
polished glasses, empty wine
weight watchers on the sideline
many months of quarantine.
In a world of many changes
remembering lessons learned
be faithful to your conscience
showing others more concern.

A blackbird with her golden beak
into the earth a worm did seek
flying back onto her nest
a morsel to her young digest.
A brood of hungry chicks to feed
fighting for their prey
little beaks wide open
to live another day.
For all the joys of nature
It’s simple, sweetest sound blackbirds in the morning
birdsong all around.

Living in extraordinary times
shopping has become a crime
holding hands is frowned upon
kissing well now that’s just not on.
Children playing with their parents
enjoying time from school
recently they would have thought
that this was not so cool.
Busy working now from home
no more just a factory gnome
appreciating time well spent
relationships to reinvent.
In this era of cocooning
Instead of cursing or bemoaning
be content, do not grieve
our lives together interweave.

Create a dance unto the world
feel that energy unfurled
release those pent up fears
spinning pirouettes, shedding tears.
Stage a drama of your life
love songs, adventures, strife
a musical extravaganza
for an audience of one.
Maybe someone else is listening
echoes beating on the walls
to catch you when you’re falling
bringing silence to those calls.

Count your blessings
polygamist counts – Will you ever be happy – monogamist asks.

Nature’s time
Celebrate silence – Nature’s time to flourish – contemplate softly.
