Calling All Poets

friendship tree

Thanking all for your support this year
Every like, every comment, every follow, every word
Has helped me bit by bit to gain more strength
A bit more faith in the words which would flow

What I would love to do,
As a gift from me to you
Is to take some poems, and form a tree
Contributed by you, and you, and you

So if you have a poem, three lines or less
To contribute with your name, or any of your choice
Please send them in, and as many as I can fill
I will include with love from me to you

No more to go!
Our tree is no more looking forlorn

Don’t Move!

One knows inherently
When one hears the words
“Just sit still
Don’t move”
That one needs to
Move very quickly
From where one is sitting
Because just a few minutes ago
I heard those very words
Spoken to an unsuspecting me
When a Huntsman nearly
Landed from the ceiling
Onto my head!

Whiskey Tasting

Not sure why I took
This shot to start – looking back
I love the Yellow!

Happiness Is

Happiness is…
Bookcase brimming with books
Cracklin Rosie wafting past my senses
Voice of Neil Diamond – bliss

Hamilton Island

Hamilton Island

Hamilton Island

In the heart of the
Great Barrier Reef, lies a
Pristine isle of bliss

Yellow Bus

A single bus and then repeat
In a straight line proudly stand
Awaiting their journey’s start
At leisure while in another place
Travelers anxiously strain
For a glimpse of that expected view
Hoping for that splash of yellow
Or maybe today, perhaps, there might be red?

Procrastinating

Just in case you haven’t heard
Enough of carols wherever you may turn
Allow me to share my favorite
Christmas Tune with you
Takes me back to when I was ten
And a Boney M audio cassette did I receive
Along with a red and black walkman player
(Remember them? Anyone?)

I should be working now
This post is me procrastinating
If I do not respond to any comments or likes
It is because my head is buried in
Eclipse, Java and Springframework
Bring on the coffee
Bring on the love
Shoulder massages?
Should I be so lucky?

Oranges and Lemons

Oranges and lemons,
Say the bells of St. Clement’s.

You owe me five farthings,
Say the bells of St. Martin’s.

When will you pay me?
Say the bells of Old Bailey.

When I grow rich,
Say the bells of Shoreditch.

When will that be?
Say the bells of Stepney.

I do not know,
Says the great bell of Bow.

Here comes a candle to light you to bed,
And here comes a chopper to chop off your head!
