Growing
On hearing the latest study from RHS on how effective gardening is for boosting your physical & mental health....
A boost for the body
A balm for the soul
Go grab your shovel
Take up your trowl
Dig up your past
Remove all the weeds
Moving on fast
By planting new seeds
Reach for the sun
As you grow
Your success
New life has begun
A gardener is blessed

Coronamas
On hearing we should start getting excited about Christmas now
Santa's bringing tissues
Santa's bringing masks
Santa's bringing I Miss You cards
Bulging from
His sack
This year he's got less reindeers
In his festive bubble
Cos if they spread the virus
We're in for worldwide
Trouble
Angel's there all distanced
Right at the top
Of the tree
So build up...

New Normal
Gone in a glimpse
That life you once knew
Convinced it's a nightmare
"This can't be true"
Then keeper of dreams
Declares
"You're Awake"
You cry " It's not real
Must be a mistake! "
But weeks became weirder
Hair growing long
Some of those beards
Are seriously wrong
No more
Are the handshakes
There's limited hugs
We're all masked up now
Not just the...

Battles with broken shields
Invisible blindfolds
Are what we're now wearing
Law of the land
Almost past caring
At a crossroads we stand
Courageous but frightened
All of our senses
Incredibly heightened
Take care of yourself
Make your own choice
Never ignore
Your own inner voice

Human
Some like to wear black
It makes them look slim
Yet want to attack
When it's colour of skin
They go on their travels
Wanting a tan
To be naturally brown
Is to sometimes feel banned
All hearts beat the same
Whatever the race
All tears still run clear
As they fall
From a face

Behind The Mask
Muffled speech
Behind a cloth
How she wished
He could take it off
Though his voice
Not clearly heard
Instead his eyes
Spoke every word
Little creases
Revealed a smile
Undefeated by
Life's new style

Spring!
Call the trade descriptions police...we've been sold the wrong spring this year!!!!
Like a metal coil
Compressed
In a tense, uncertain
Rest
And when the pressure is
Released
Many mere mortals, by then
Deceased
They thought that
Spring
Was daffodils
Now life has fallen
Almost still
Invisible, silent, viral
Attack
The question is
Do we

Earthling Evacuation
Maybe moving to mars is the only way to escape the virus!
Fingerprints of the sun
Upon the face of mars
New life has just begun
Way beyond the stars!

Friday 13th just got serious
It's usually the day
To steer clear of ladders
Blacks cats
If only they'd avoided
Those random
Flying bats
Nobody really understands
Exactly what we should do
Just got to keep
Washing our hands
Buying extra roll
For the loo
Good luck and
Hand sanitiser
Both in such short supply
Borris seems none the wiser
So do your best and
Try not to die

Ordinary people
(With titles)
To them
Their freedom
Was vital
So nice
Then turned
Mean
When they
Let down
The Queen
Now off
On their
Bike
They have
Cycled!

Maui on my mind
A little farewell to a package holiday company
A paradise trip
I was trying
To find
A place
Like Maui
Was on
My mind
Beautiful beaches
Rolling waves
Then
Mr Cook
Took the
Money
I'd saved

Mixed Messages
It was reported in the news a few weeks ago that those people who use more emojis than words are sexier, going on more dates etc....
Him-You don't need to read this
I don't have to speak
Let me just send emojis
To make your knees weak
Showering you daily
With heart shaped kisses
Showing I'm the one
To fulfil
All your wishes
I'm being so romantic
Never ob...

Fracking caused the earthquake
Lacking caused their heartbreak

Giraffe
I heard that Giraffes have been protected from being slaughtered for their body parts for the first time this week....So a celebratory poem
It's Wonderful to have
A long neck
It reaches up
To the sky
I can nibble leaves
On treetops
And smile at
Birds
As they
Fly by
It's just
Great
Having this
Long neck
I can see
For Miles around
I always k...
