Written – an acrostic poem

Posted on December 8, 2025 | Leave a comment

Words usually flow freely

Racing across the page

In a few minutes the page fills

Then the world shifted

The words faltered

Endless hours staring at a blank page

Now they are trickling through once more

Independence Day (acrostic poem)

Posted on July 4, 2025 | Leave a comment

Invitation to all to invade the beach

Not a square inch to spare

Decisions… Decisions about where to stop

Eventually settling on a sandy sunny spot

Preparations are key

Everything is set up just so

No tents allowed…sorry Mr Lifeguard

Duly noted, sir

Equilibrium restored

Now to soak up some sun

Charging my batteries

Emotionally restored

Daring to hope for a better life

Anxious about what my future holds

You have this under control, girl.

Diamond Ring (an acrostic poem)

Posted on May 20, 2025 | Leave a comment

Diamonds are a girl’s best friend …or are they?

I stared at my wedding rings emotions spilling over

And felt a fraud.

Marriage died a long time ago

Our vows cast aside in favour of adultery

Never did I break mine

Decisions. Dilemmas. Dichotomy.

Rings were tearfully removed, releasing the past.

I felt naked and lost.

New ring selected with self-love in mind

Giving myself permission to “marry” my future.

Pythagoras – an acrostic poem for our beautiful boy

Posted on March 31, 2025 | Leave a comment

Petite white paws with pink beans

You stole my baby boy’s heart a long time ago

Taking up too much space in his bed at night

Hunter extraordinaire in your day

Agile and strong

Ginger fur softening as the years flew by

Over the roof and in through the window you’d go

Reluctantly accepting my love in time

A big softie underneath it all

Sleep easy, beautiful boy

March 2009 – 14 March 2005

Airport (acrostic poem)

Posted on November 12, 2024 | Leave a comment

Arrivals and departures

Irresistible lure of the newsstand

Realisation that the trip is over

Praying that the flight is on time

Only worry is “will the suitcase survive?”

Really should have packed less

Trips are fun

Journal – an acrostic poem

Posted on October 22, 2024 | Leave a comment

Jotting down thoughts

One thought at a time

Using the words as therapy

Relating the tale helps

Nothing to hide

Always honest

Love how the words reveal the truths the eyes don’t see

Angel (acrostic poem)

Posted on June 25, 2024 | 1 comment

A new day

New opportunities to heal

Growing stronger each day

Edging herself back out into the world

Learning to live again

Peonies (an acrostic poem)

Posted on May 21, 2024 | Leave a comment

Petals tightly furled.

Echoes of how I feel.

One by open they gradually open.

Nudging, encouraging each other.

In time, the flower is fully in bloom.

Echoes of how I hope to feel on day,

Surrounded by sunlight…. Content.

Beginnings – an acrostic poem

Posted on January 1, 2024 | Leave a comment

Breathe…it’ll be ok

Each new day another step forwards

Go cautiously. Go boldly. Just GO!

Insecurities running riot within

Nothing to be gained by looking backwards

New life adventures lie ahead

Initial fears scream in my head

Noise I don’t need to listen to

Girl, you’ve got this

Stride out towards the sun

Red Berries (poem)

Posted on August 15, 2023 | Leave a comment

Reminders that summer is passing

Evenings are getting darker

Days, although they don’t feel it, are getting shorter

Berries of all colours Nature’s reminders

Everything comes to an end

Reminders that summer is passing

Reminders that seasons must change

Indian summer anyone? I’ll live in hope

Ever hopeful for just a little more of summer’s warmth

Seasons come and seasons go…
