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…

Trust (an acrostic poem)

Posted on April 17, 2023 | 1 comment

Trust should be cherished, never taken for granted.

Respect has to be earned then sustained.

Use your judgement wisely- once gone, they’re gone forever.

Spend a few extra moments in contemplation….

Think about the cost of blowing apart either or both…

Toadstools – an acrostic poem

Posted on October 25, 2022 | Leave a comment

Treading carefully among the trees, I search

October brings fairytales alive – if you take the time to look

Autumn leaves nestle round them, keeping them safe

Delicate gills on display

Spores drifting invisibly down to populate the soil

Tomorrow’s tales or next year’s? Time will tell.

Old haunts from previous years reveal this year’s crop

Old memories haunt the hunt

Lost in my daydreams

Searching for that fairytale ending

Berries – an acrostic poem

Posted on September 20, 2022 | Leave a comment

Blood red you hang in the sun

Enchantingly autumnal in colour

Reminding me that summer has passed

Reminding me that seasons change

Indicators of cooler days and darker nights

Emotionally I’m not ready for those…not yet

Selfishly I want to hold onto the warmth and the light a little longer

September – an acrostic poem

Posted on September 6, 2022 | Leave a comment

Summer’s end in sight

Ever hopeful of some late sunshine

Preparing for a colourful autumn

Trees changing colour before your eyes

Early sunsets create fiery skies

Memories of long light nights fading

Beginning to dread winter’s dark chill

Emotions in turmoil as the seasons change

Remembering…always remembering…

Woman – an acrostic poem for International Women’s Day

Posted on March 8, 2022 | Leave a comment

Who am I?

Or who do you think I am?

Meandering through life

Achieving quiet recognition as I go

Now comfortable in my own skin.

Snowdrops – an acrostic poem

Posted on February 15, 2022 | Leave a comment

Silently meandering

No one watching or listening

Only the sounds of nature for company

Wondering what is to come…

Daydreaming of long light summer nights

Reflecting on the dark days of winter

Open to new possibilities

Praying for better days as I

Silently meander.

Meandering (an acrostic poem)

Posted on September 29, 2021 | Leave a comment

Mentally recharging the batteries

Emotionally clearing the clouds

And releasing all the pain

No set destination or direction

Drawn by the lure of the shore

Enchanted by the energy of the river

Rhythmic waves soothing the soul

Isolated from the wider world

Nothing and no one to disturb the daydreams

Grateful to have made it through another day.
