In Bed

In bed

In peace

Give me a star I can reach

Give me true love on the beach

A number one song for weeks and weeks

My heart beats

My eyes weep

Blackpool

We are on our way to Blackpool

Can you see the tower yet?

We will be on the beach soon

I hope it doesn’t get wet

With flashing bulb delight

Blackpool shines at night

Sitting quiet side by side

Wondering about those donkey rides

We meet the Queen at Madame Tussauds

We have a scream on the ghost train

The Golden Mile

Always brings a smile

Where people dream and wave

Mum and dad are talking about a steak

Jen and I just want ice cream with flake

Mum and dad are talking about the chippy

Jen and I just want a Mr Whippy!

We go on the Big One

There’s a perfect sunset

The view is a vision

The sky we are kissing

I try to win a teddy bear with no luck

So then my mum buys me a sugar dummy to suck

We look at ourselves in the funny mirrors

If that dummy gets stuck in our hair

We will need some scissors!

People asking fortune tellers

Will I ever find a fella?

We could walk down the promenade

Hand in hand,enchanted

It can be a day of exhaustion

But when we look up at Blackpool Tower,

It’s a tower of beauty like a princess in robes

A stick of Blackpool rock

A lovely hotdog

There’s an army of seagulls

And a bouncing beach ball

Bingo calling

Ice staking and falling

We take the tramway to play on the slots

Eating candy floss

There’s sandcastle water park

Places you can go-kart

There’s Blackpool Zoo and Sea Life Centre

There’s horses and carts you can rent

But a day at Jungle Jims is a day best spent

We watch the circus in amazement

Eyes as bright as a galaxy of stars

The locals selling DVD’s by the pavement

Hundreds of burger bars

A trip to The Grand Theatre and howling gales

The boats at sea and their sails

Don’t forget to put your postcards in the mail

And tell your tale

We dig a big hole on the beach

Sand in hair

Sand everywhere

I say,

Let’s swim to Ireland

Heaven smiles on you and your English

Party of the truth

The dazzled sight

Love,tell me now

Love,tell me how

I will heal from this

And finally kiss

When you cant stop listening to that song!

‘My feet,those two children let out to play’-Ann Sexton

‘A delicate fire suddenly races underneath my skin’-Sappho

The piano touch is like having looks

An ornament

A moment

‘O tell me the truth about love’-W.H.Auden

‘The dawn,the fire,the rainbow of the day’-James Fenton

With a beautiful kiss I can…

Breathe in the blossoms

Recover from rock-bottom

Smile in my own little spot

Tend to the flowerpot

With a kiss I can ….

Love the birds sweet sound

Step up from the background

‘A golden -orange overarching blaze of leaves’-Marge Piercy

‘Love is simply our element,

It is the summer night’-Sharon Olds

The tender catch

I’m feeling quite attached!!

A babies comfort blanket

And a lantern of comfort

Do not shut our library it is

A library of light

‘Multitudes of  lambs’-William Blake

Story Idea

Magpies stealing golf balls

Reading in the dark book with torch

Song Lyrics

A better day tomorrow

I’ll wake up from my sleep tender as blossom

And find some magic to follow

A better day tomorrow

Two magpies is joy,one magpie is sorrow

I will search for you with a bow and arrow

A better day tomorrow

I will beg,steal and borrow

Fly as high as Apollo

A better day tomorrow

A heavenly sign,perfectly timed

Love is on the way,no quarrel

‘Cooings of my dove’-Christina Rossetti

‘Touched us together like a bow that from two strings

Could draw one voice’-Dana Gioli

‘Maroon sky’-Dannie Abse

It’s the sea

I can smell it already!
