Unsung Heroes

In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Unsung Heroes.”

When my artist friend becomes famous
My claim to fame could be
I have a painting by her hand
From her hand as a friendship gift
Kindly given to me

He loves to sit and hear me sing,
Then laughing, sports and plays with me;
Then stretches out my golden wing,
And mocks my loss of liberty

Reindeers and Hostages

Unknowing reindeer
Light up suburbia
Glow with lights unrefined
While not too far away
Lights go out in a chocolate cafe
Hostages held captive
Hope to see another day

Thoughts be to those involved
And to family of same

Snow Globe

Beautiful stars
Twinkle at night
Dance in the shadows
Of the moonlight

(Collaboration poetry between my daughter and I – I wanted Glittering Stars, No Mom – Beautiful stars, ok)

Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star

As your bright and tiny spark
Lights the traveller in the dark.
Though I know not what you are,
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.

Explosion of Color

Brightening life’s long day
When we are sad and blue
Flowers reflect the inward hue

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge – Abandoned School

as if there are plenty of schools in the world
there is an empty school right here in Sydney
abandoned and not used
reminding us how much
education is key
