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

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...

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...

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

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

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

​​​​​​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

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!

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!

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

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

A Local Earthquake Today Inspired Me...

Fracking caused the earthquake

Lacking caused their heartbreak

The Magnitude of their

Solitude

Hit the Richter scale

Yet molten heat's

Release

They still made

The earth move

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...
