With laugher

Pick up your shopping from a broken bag

With laughter

Saturday night sweets

Ice cream

Harmony and delight!

Zesty blood cider

England’s football blinders

Eagle and child

When I walked in you smiled

Kiss kiss wish wish

But he was ish ish

The radiance of perfect love

Career a blossom climb

Deer to the touch

Kaleidoscope of light coming through the trees

So many kinds of gold

The rainbow over this house is

Like the whole of you

‘When poetry is spoken

That door is opened and the light is shed’-Elizabeth Jennings

The golden word is love

Love is a storm but love can be so warm

My words before death

Live your life with breathe and dreams

To the waves of the open sea

The spirit of poetry

Waves of standing hay

Paradise is

An endless movie

Age Concern charity shop

A graceful ornament

And a merry smile

So you have a considering eye?

A true lake

A feeling of openness

I love seeing you

Does that mean I love you?

Lights make it special

You make it special

But love can be a commercial

Torrential

Reverential

I want to say I love you

And write a piano song

I want to say I love you

I need you to belong

I want to make you strong

I want to right all wrong

Taste you with my tongue

Forever young

Afraid of words

Unafraid of singing birds

The passage of birds

‘By firelight ,with cake and song’-Carolyn Kizer

Magic marbles

Crayon of childhood
