Snowdrops

Snowdrop


Spring soft her feather white tears
fall floating to the winter ground
in love's embrace she caresses
the masculine polished earth

soon dressed in the cloak
of her snowy kisses
his armour wrapped in the mantle
of that love and the two entwined

til melting spring and snow replete
with tiny feeble shoots aglow
green the new youth steps forth
bowing his head to the snowdrop

The birth of spring and winter's love
in tiny flower a precious bud
a miracle child in petal small

the sign of winter's enthrall

the silvered stream

walk through the silvered stream
to dance ecstatic in the morning air
did our paths cross in fabled woods
gathering the blue bell there

scented Lilly and Forget me not
hold no candle to my heart
as does the day
we swore never to part

on silvered streams in mossy woods
hold the heart close beloved
for I am a wandering
across the golden green

Hungry for the mountains
the poets chair awaits
atop of Idris

Rocks

The Ancient

Grains numbed by sea sprite

Bound endless in mire

Tales to tell

How long does granny watch

Her eyes twinkle in her smooth face

Black the gleaming tears

Palest pink every crevice

In circle she stands tall

Her days are slated

Wisdom waits

As days turn centuries

And the infants climb her skirts

Tarn and pots her trade in stock

Great wastelands empty her belly

Devoured of coal and tree

Great Cathedral sown in grannies smile

Wind grabs at her mantle

As granny crumbles and rubbles

Time whips at her faces

And she waits no more

How long does granny watch?

Craggy and unsure

Tales to tell

Till the infants climb no more.

Fingers and thumbs

Not quite got the hang of all this yet .The pc is still quite new to me and upoloading and downloading is something else.
Hopefully I'll get my 10 yr old to tell me how to do pictures LOl.
Then I'll have to learn how to use my camera and publish properly ,wont I?
Thinking of something new and refreshing is a challenge

Shopping

Purely functional the weekly shop
counting the cost of everything I've got
No dallying over shoes and silks
its all down to the price of bread and milk

Supermarket heaven offers galore
I'm off to Aldi its cheaper on their floor
And when the weelky shop is done
laiden down with bags no fun

Home on the local bus
pass in hand and sit in a disabled seat
whats all the fuss
drag the tired feet up the garden path

through the door and food in the freezer
feed the cat and butter the toast
a cup of tea and t.v. remote
Then to sink into a ginger bubblebath.

Today

More than a moment
a memory of whats gone before
Pizzahut equalized in the last minute
and my world is Black
Black I tell you
theres only one thing for it
consume the grief
eat a box of mars bars!
