Phone a friend


Phone a friend?

I can’t pretend

There is no-one to call

They have put up a wall

I can’t climb for the lemon and lime



Did they ever love me?

Or did they think they were above me?



Insta Kilo!



God,how do I get through tomorrow?

Is there some stardust I can borrow?

Is there someone out there that wants to follow?

Dive into a sea of coral?



Another night

I wonder,who is out?

Who is living?

Who is without?

I really wanted to make it count



I want to thank God for fruit

I want to thank God for carrot and swede

Sugar snap peas!!



‘To find your window

To find your ear

To find your heart’-Primo Levi


‘Searching for you in the stars

Myself an error in the world’-Primo Levi



A ball of flame,becoming a name



‘Eternity is traffic lights’!-Primo Levi



When faith is on the other shore



Friends should be till the end



Yellow

A yellow sunny morning hitting my face

A flower sitting in a vase

Like a bar of gold,An evening dressed in lace

A slice of lemon drizzle cake



‘The last breath of the human’-Stanley Kunitz



Everyone full of hidden wounds



Picture books of magic

Big wide eyes



The bonfire light

You are warm to everyone



Pilot lilac mountains



‘Tubular flowers’-Stanley Kunitz


Tubular flowers of deep crimson



Chorus from the sea

Chorus from the tree



Butterflies get your attention,protection



Affection,Connection

No more rejection



My heart torn away,it beats quietly



Food ‘The surrender bite’!



Converse over picking flowers



In the lilac sky

In the lilacs summer



‘With a heart that is ripe and wild’-Maxine Kumin



‘Tranquil at sunset’-Maxine Kumin



‘Sunrise is a peach curtain’-Maxine Kumin



‘On every twig that’s lonely

A new green leaf will spring’-Anon



‘The Open Green’ golf course!




'The sweetest of moons'


‘The sweetest of moons’-Thomas Hood



Sky and music

I feel heartsick



Sneezing

The lunar dust of the moon



Thoughts of wine and a good kiss



When I went to college I was torn

I wanted to be unique but I ended up alone

It made me wish there was a uniform

I wanted to sing in unison

But I was rejected again and again

At University,the universe had different plans for me

I didn’t have ‘the intellect’ and I didn’t look ‘perfect’

I wanted to be united with a long lost friend

Or just find something easy and not pretend

I had dreams of rainbows and unicorns

But I spent all my time isolated in student halls

Now that I’m out of education it feels like a liberation

I can write what I want and see the world,

Travel for exploration

I need a job maybe then I will feel involved



‘Grunting in the snow’-Vivienne Hannah- Art



Summer

The football is in next doors garden again!



‘Aurora encore’-Anon



The cobbled road

I imagine a horse and cart

A Visage



Philosophic pills (medication)



‘In moonlight,shine or shade’-Edward Lear



How do I tell him?

When I see him?



I wanna stay in a gaze

Get that look from him everyday

I love his face,the truth and always

I wanna kiss those lips

Like fireworks lit

I wanna hold his hand

Be unafraid in a gang

Find my yin and yang



Comfort blooms

Romantic rooms



Lantern in my hand

My spirit free



You are the moon of the night

 

‘The vibrant morning tide’-Jenny Joseph



Like the Silk of water



Suffragette’s ‘The glow of that movement’



‘Secret on the cobble stones’-Jenny Joseph



‘The hypnotic flower’-Jenny Joseph



Writing a letter to the strong



Fame:A try for the sun



‘O cherry-blossom heart’-Anon



‘Great luscious mouthfuls’-Jenny Joseph



Hollywood

The magic the hero



No love for pigs

No love for blemishes



Heaven and Howarth!



It’s a impossibility

Compatibility






Treetalk and windsong


Treetalk and windsong



A trip to the park

On a go-cart



Amethyst night

Sitting out at summer



Is he a lantern or a phantom?



The Colour Red



The colour red runs through the sea after battle

The colour red lives in a heart of Seattle

The colour red is used to identify cattle

The colour red can fill up the sky in Manhattan

The Big Apple

A cherry-tree chapel



The colour red is planet Mars

The colour red is beautiful flowers

The colour red is a field of strawberries

The colour red is tomato’s and

Special rubies



If you travel 12000 miles to Oz

The soil is red like red salt

If you travel to New York

You can see red squirrels when you take a walk

I would like to meet a red Indian

Or eat the meat off a scorpion (lobster)

I would like to keep a ladybird as a pet

I would like to be in the black and not in debt!

When I go shopping I look at lipsticks

I go for a coffee and eat jammy biscuits!

Or two shots of vodka and red bull

Drinking a bottle of red in full

I look at a red rose,the grass is in between my toes

And where the wind blows the scent is adored

‘The best’ red is a stunning sunset

Or a jumping kangaroo in silhouette

I would love to spot a red deer,take a photo

But not get too near

On 5th November there’s red dresses in the sky

Fireworks that make you smile

On 11th November we buy red poppies

For those that died for our freedom,the bodies

In winter months we see red robins and Christmas holly berries

The only reds I do not like are chili’s and red fire ants

But I love ketchup on my bacon and chip butties

I would love to explore Australia’s Great Barrier Reef

Discover the red living coral and a red starfish

If I ever went to Spain I would watch Spanish dancers in red flamenco!



If I have a drink

Will I make a link?



The Angelus

I can hear their chorus



(Aurous) –containing gold



Softer path And a Bigger map



That magic spring

But you are equally lovely



‘Glow like springtime’-Ho Xuan Huong



Titanic

‘My boat of compassion’



‘A milky way in the water’-Seamus Heaney



The sweet time of child rhyme



Attractive lights

Dreams are beautiful ,prayerful



Pearls upon her breast

The touch of time



The old caress

A great happiness



Domestic dove

Washing up gloves!

Can you walk me home?


Can you walk me home?
Like were in a starlit Rome?
Have an ice cream cone
Stop feeling alone

Let’s put palm to palm
Can you keep me safe in your arms?
Meet me at the open barn
Glory on the barn!!!

The scent of peaches
The spirit of the place

‘The picture spoke it’s green’-Mark Doty

Love is protected

‘The right haircut,the new dance,the new song’-Mark Doty

Born for performing,warming
Not self-harming

The charm of a gift
He’s all fire and irony

Kodak moment
A child and a towering ice cream!

A special understanding
The dream of a poem

Something about you is lost

I hold out my hand
The bridge of years

A mountaineer
To test and find yourself

The heart of love is magical in mist

‘Loneliness is a lyric poem’-Phoebe Hesketh

A thousand thousand pities

The sheen on a dove
For a thousand thousand nights

‘The hour of waking together’-Ezra Pound

A gorgeous palm
I am totally crushed

No one cares I’m scared
Guess I’m not in the friend zone

Sometimes I think too much
I wish I could let go

               

Everyone needs


Everyone needs
A hospitable ray
A sweet smiling village

Just beginning to dazzle and then I died

He had prefect knowledge
She had silken beginnings

The touch of lips
Made everything glow

Van Gough

‘Starry Night’

Round and round
The sky is alive
The stars are rippling and taking a dive

The village below
Is under of flow of colour
The moon never has looked fuller

Can I go to Mars and see a blue sunset?
Can I find an alien and keep him as a pet?
Can I teach him how to express?
Invite him as our guest?

Can I pick a cluster of stars
Can my dream come true and drive flying cars?
Can we go around the moon?
And write a signature tune?

The Cloud Appreciation Society!!

My heart floats around you

Bionic kidney!Yes!Yes!Yes!

As a child I searched for hidden lands,secret springs,
A kiss in the cosy shed

The coloured quartz
Still a mystery

A well cherished dream scattered on summits

Solace out of the blue ocean

Over eating
Still in the buffeting breeze

Beyond the mountains
God’s love is so great

A mirage and a mockery

‘You are a beautiful thought’-Kablil Gibran

‘A song in my dreaming’-Kablil Gibran

Skies return to blue
A feel of you

But flowers work better still

Upon the windowsill’-Liz Cowley

A sea beneath a tree’-Liz Cowley

Discussing gardening goals!

‘Fushsa blooms-like ballerina’s in tutus
Dancing all day long’-Liz Cowley

I need a vegetable garden
Stunning gold coming through

The thrill and excitement of hours of sun

Peacefulness

To be in your room
Look at the moon
Kiss you till noon
Alive like cocoon

Between black spaces

A hundred matches spark’-Dannie Abse

Mountain sunsets
Happiness seems unreachable

Far away cousins xxx

The scented beetle in a box of light

‘Blossomy hair’-William Carlos Williams

The crowded opera

Don’t get the birthday blues
You can be happy if you choose
Everything happens for a reason
So just stop grieving!

Birthdays
Surfing waves
Searching caves

Wake up in the morning
Do a little drawing
Have a bowl of Weetobix
Maybe breaky biscuits
Make some shapes with play-doh
Or go outside with a football
Learn your letters
Learn your words
Carry round your teddy bears
Can you count 1-10? Can you make a little den?
Can you pick a flower?
Can you pick a stick?
Can you run around the garden and
Play in the sandpit?
Would you like to go to the park?
Take the bikes and have a happy heart?
Would you like an ice pop?
Have a game of hopscotch?
Or maybe we could play shop
Let’s see a little smile
I have chocolate!

A harmonious balance
In the light of intellect

I feel like some banished fairy

‘In the last flicker of a dying lamp
The shadows beat like wings’-Li Po and Tu Fu

I want fountains of the best water

We leaned into a sunrise
With a scent of lilac hedge

Music is everything
To be clearly in love

Freckles of hope

Sequins on a first party dress


The sweetness of the apple



The sweetness of the apple

Their magic evident

Light and sense

‘I do not look for love that is a dream-
I only seek for courage to be still’-Christina Rossetti

Snowdrops on the lea

Alone in my room
Can I please have oats and the moon?

I believe in

A man opening the door
Holding hands on the shore
Protecting me from a scorpions claw
Protecting me from a great whites jaw

I don’t want this to feel like war
Or be together like it’s some big chore
Wound you catch me if I fell to the floor?
Would our love always pour?

Despite our flaws?
Despite our scores?

Would you follow me ,despite my clothes?

Would you bring me a red rose?
Help me see the difference between friends and foes?
Would you teach me the stars and look at them glow?
Would you watch a film on the back row?
Kiss me in passion,let your hands go low?

Or just turn up in your banger car
Steal some change from the kitchen jar!
Take me to an ice cream parlour?

Can I get your whole attention?
Can I feel your affection?
Your arms around me for protection?

My next date

Do I open up the flood gates?
Will he think I have too much on my plate?
Will there be something we can create?

Can we go out and explore?
I want to discover a little bit more
Even if my feet are sore
I want to hear the waves roar

I wanna hear the birds calling
I want to be happy

Our longing eyes in open air

He offers a softer charm
 But I am weary,weary of my weight

The evening air and a gorgeous sunset
It pumps to my eyes and spills
