Monsters

Monsters

I went out looking for conkers

The birds were giving concerts

Mum said,look at that dirt on your skirt

I said,it was the monsters!

I went out looking for flowers

I didn’t look at my watch for hours

I found some worms and caught lot’s of germs

And ran in when it began to shower

Mum said , look at the mess on your dress

I said ,it was the insects!

Look at that muck on your face

I said,I was only playing chase!

I went to the swimming baths

And I saw a goblin shark

I went next door to get our ball

And heard the dog bark!

I used to think that our apple tree

Would turn into a monster

I used to think I would win

The golden ticket for Willy Wonka!

Monsters and lobsters in the sea

Making friends and chasing me!

Now that I am all grown up and watch my

Niece and nephew,

I am the ‘tickle’ monster’ and I’m coming round to get you!

As a child I wanted to make friends with a Big Foot

But I didn’t have the luck

If I said I saw a monster,

Would you think I am bonkers?!

If I found a giant worm?

If I hide under the fern?

Would you rescue me from the monsters?

Wound you rescue me from world war bombers?

Up and down like a clown

Poppable and squashable!

What is my fate?

Will I still feel the hate?

Monsters

The monster rumble of the tummy!

A monster telling off from mummy!

A monster of a chocolate bunny!

A monster spend of your money!

The monster washing machine in the garage

A monster fly on my sandwich

The monster hayfever making me sneeze!

Or cold weather making me freeze!

A monster ice cream in the sun!

A monster,monster distance run!

A monster burger with battle chips!

Strawberries and chocolate dip!

The monster of having too much sleep

The monster of leaving your clothes in a heap

When all you want to do is weep

When the ocean is too deep

The devil monster turning out to be a conster

I wish I was a youngster

With time on my side

The monster of food

 

The care of heaven

The care of heaven

On the lonely travellers call

Feeling rather than reason,

In a beautiful way

The inner me

The sexual energy

The story of an object

A message in a bottle

An old,old book

Antique picture or ornament

Where do they come from?

Am I going to be in luck?!!!

A dream life

Beauty and how it rescues us

The perfect process of night and day

The mistakes of love?

I can count them up!

Will God answer the prayer of someone who kneels?

I dream,Just one letter with a seal

Charity shop

Tidying the tops

Wiping down the pots

Cleaning away someone’s teardrops

Or trying to solve a necklace tied in knots

Then we sort the CD’s and DVD’s

We sort out the books A-Z

Sometimes we have wedding hats

5 inch heels or comfy flats

Children love the toy corner

We get out the water guns when it is warmer

Everyone loves a big toy

Or maybe a game to enjoy

Lot’s a puzzles and bear cuddles

Wellington boots for dirty puddles!

And then there is the window display

It’s a piece of art,you can’t turn away!

Walking outside the door

I actually feel like I’m bleeding

I wasn’t invited

Will I ever get the chance of leading?

There’s no sigh of him leaving

There is no kiss,there is no feeling

Save my soul

Break my fall

Your hand could keep me whole

For you my all

Can’t you see I’m loyal

A rose can grow

By a waterfall

The music is playing

Couples swaying

My heart is paining

Overnight

I travelled the world with the eyes of a girl

Overnight

I went into space and collected some lace

Overnight

I found my own cave surviving all the waves

Overnight

I met the one I love like snowflakes above

Overnight

Quiet,quiet

I want to take this in

There’s an ocean of blossom on the ground

Lover’s walking,they are found

Birds are singing,fully gowned

Children are playing and waiting

For the ice cream van to come round

The sun is getting really hot

The paddling pool is filling up

Children are sucking on ice pops

Water fighting,cooling off

I am sat in the café

Wondering will I get brown today?

It’s the weather for a picnic on the park

Or a nice summer walk

A BBQ would be lovely

Clouds disappearing above me

Burgers and chicken kebabs

Looking up,feeling fab

And then there I those evening sunsets

Playing football,back of the net!

You can smell the flowers but you might need

A hayfever tablet!

I wish I was on holiday

A ship deck

A dreamy jet

Jumping into the pool

And getting totally wet!

Running into the sea

Getting my hotel room key

Having a sip of a cocktail

Twirling my umbrella

Looking across the bar for a storyteller

A reign of sugar

A reign of sugar

Listen to mother

Emblems of stars

Look like a heaven of ideas

Like embroidery lace

Thoughts of you echo all the day

What did I do wrong?

They all left me

I was young and alone

Every morning,my alarm clock rung

But I couldn’t describe it,or write it

I still need a song

The sense that I belong

I can hear the church bells gong,

I can see the fish in a pond

How can I say

How can I say I love you

How can I say enough

Let’s find a place together

Let’s go hide in the loft

Tuning into you

Wounded without you

Illumed by your way,everyday

But the Brooks were frozen

The day of his death was a dark cold day

The healing fountain came my way

Change and suffering

All my heart

Dying of bitches

A bag of sweets

Looking up at the mountains peak

Sunflowers

You are locked together in a field

So pretty and warming

A haven for bees

You are open to the world

A kaleidoscope of wild flowers

Young and golden-haired

You have hopes of growing like a sweet girl

I would make a necklace with your seeds

Rescue you from venomous weeds

Use your oil in a stone massage

Or buy a Sunflower birthday card

I would like to ask Van Gogh,

What are your thoughts?

You strike my heart like the skies colours

If a butterfly came by and the air was piping high

I wonder if you would watch and cry

When it returned to the sky

I’m thinking it would be a good place to hide

Heads moving from side to side

They are giants that could shield the rain

They are giants that found flora fame!

‘My eyes dined’-Robert Pinsky

‘The inviting lady’-Robert Pinsky

Teenager

It’s hard to let go

Someone out there will not let me grow

This voice in my head was never a friend I know

It surprises me with a ‘new’ low

Then I think of my childhood

I can feel my heart flood

I feel like I’m in a car stuck in some mud

I need something good to happen

I want to be by the stream

I want to be in your dream

I want to have a real scream

I want to be on your team

Magic beans,I love sun creams

I love holidays and good fitting jeans!
