A red, orange, brown fuss
in autumn once more
as fog comes upon us
Halloween ghouls to the door

The trees turning yellows
rains tumult and pour
thunder bellows,
winds blow cold with …

Clouds garland snow capped mountain peak
Icy snow butterflies melt kisses upon my nose
Puffs of warm, moist breath balloons billow out before me,
quickly chilling, disappearing before my eye…

Mornings brilliance
lets the sun spread it’s grin
Slowly warming the beds
awakening the flowers
as they raise their heads
birds chorus dawns delight
melancholic tunes contrite
Nature’s c…

Twenty fingers
Twenty toes
Two tummy buttons
Two little noses

Twice the changing nappies
Twice the love and fun
Totally exhausted
When the day is done!

Age of purity and innocence,
this time of change
meets a blooming maturity
Fulfilling form, stylising figure;
nature produces fine specimen
A time to play with hair and fashion
To perfect…

Oh how the little wren sings
Her chirpy tunes in day time
Twittering morning for us
A melodic charm of dawns chorus
Quickly darting here and there
Doesn’t seem to have a care
Collecting …

Oh glorious sun arising
I see you are a shining
Giving out your warmest glow
Melting even keenest snow

Who knows wherest you’ll appear
Maybe on a coastal pier
Or playing hide and seek
…

Misty veil lifts
revealing early morning sunrise.
Spring buds engorged with life
begin to show wonder held within,
mystically unfolding natures beauty.

A crop of delicate colour,
gentle…

Stark form
stands in solitude,
prominent position.
Alone
reaches out
at lower levels,
touching no-one
it seems.
Blooming from within
nature takes it’s course,
budding perfection

Remember this moment
cherrish the fruits of life
harvest them
reap what is sown
do not let it go to waste
for you are worthy,
you are meant to be.

Night time ignites
fighsty violet skyline
interrupts nature
a beautiful new canopy evolves.
New exotic flowers glow crimson
heady scents float on heavy air.
Birds languish nesting
settli…

Whispers in my ear,
tussling of my hair,
and sweeping me
off my feet.
Wrapping a blanket
around me,
warmth engulfs my form,
new breath,
blown gently upon my skin.
Goose pimples,
shiv…

Water rushes, sweeps.
Tide enfolds as ground moves round.

Feet engulfed. Swallowed.

Daffodils bunch, spring has sprung,
Sun raises higher to waken sleepy heads;
No time for hibernation now as spring fever hits, –
create time to get together; go fly a kite,
or sit and chi…

With each and every leaf or bud -
new breath, a miracle.
Make memories unforgettable,
garnish them with thoughtful floral fragrance.
Add that loving laughter, those smiles.
