Reflecting
She walks in the park
Quite a few people around
Stepping on yellow and red leaves
As they twirl to the ground.
A young couple pass
With 2 kids ..cheeks aglow
Their laughter transports her
To a time long ago.
When her and her brother
Walked to School together
With breakfast in their bellies
Didn't matter about the weather.
A large family of cousins
They all played round about
Didnt go in for Tea
Until she heard the shout!
She remembers her beloved Granny
In her little tiny room
With its little tiny door
Sweeping tiled floor with her broom.
Her granny made her feel special
She shouts 'See you soon'
She felt warm and content there
In that little cocoon.
She walks further into the park
An elderly couple struggle past together
Her Granny is no longer here
She thought she would live forever.
She cleared her throat and smiled
At everyone who looked her way...
As she was taught when she was young
It may just make their day.
The leaves hit her face now
And they wipe away a tear
She struggles to compose herself
As she reflects on Yesteryear.
She has a lot to be thankful for
As her Grandchildren..she now hears...
Inside her head..a voice it said..
Go live your Autumn Years.4 -

HalloweenChildren excited and adults alike,
All scary costumes, all sorts of types.
Witches, ghosts and frightening masks
They look So real they make me gasp.
All running around the streets at night
Knocking on doors for sweets and to fright.
Trick or treat they screech and shout
They'll fill their buckets without a doubt.
Pumpkins with their carved out face
Lit candles inside to glow at a pace
Used as lanterns to scare evil away
Frowned upon as a pagan holiday.
Apples coated in chocolate and toffee
Originated from the USA, like Starbucks coffee.
Games of apple bobbing hands free
It all sounds like lots of fun I agree

Inspired by the poem posted by @Justcheckingin15 I thought I'd be brave and share this one I started a while ago. I keep returning to it, editing, rearranging verses and adding more - it doesn't feel complete or flow too well but that probably reflects how I feel about the situation better.
The bond that's missing between us
separates you and me far too much.
And my Sister's occasional updates
barely count as us keeping in touch.
The way you and I interact,
our absent interactional style,
just widens the distance between us.
I can feel it across every mile.
I find our lack of speaking
quite scary, right down to my core.
And I wish that I could change that.
I wish for nothing more.
I feel our distance stifling,
Like I'd feel a lack of air.
And if I ponder it too deeply,
it becomes more than I can bear.
I've always yearned for approval,
more than anyone else, from you.
I never have felt that I had it,
or there was anything I could do.
You never let me know you were proud,
of me, of my dreams or my deeds.
Then again I don't feel you cared much
for any of my emotional needs.
I never heard you say you loved me
and I felt you just didn't care.
That's not meant as an accusation,
that really wouldn't be fair.
But I wish I could feel you love me,
as myself, just me, as I am
not just tolerated as my Sister's sibling,
as the one who messed up the plan.
I know this was not of your making,
circumstances were far from ideal.
But I didn't cause this mess either;
if you think so, I really must appeal.
I desperately hope you do love me,
and Ive made you a liittle bit proud
I have to believe that 'if only',
you'd be able to say so out loud.

Happy Halloween!
No kids to be seen.
No wizards or witches.
No monsters with stitches.
No hairy spider
or evil ghost-rider.
No mummy in sight.
No bats in flight.
Not one scary ghost.
Just one lonely host.
A quick off the cuff poem based on last halloween. I hope this year the children can come and help me empty my halloween cauldron - I'm sure that was responsible for the pounds I put on last year

That being said, we can't change the past, it was a total different ball game, totally different beliefs and attitudes.
We can learn from the mistakes that were made, hence we no longer hunt witches and behead people.
Halloween is a bit of fun, unless your deeply religious then it's frowned on. I have Christian neighbours who won't be entertaining it. But that's their beliefs and wholly respected.1 -
Facebook is down messenger too
That's why I'm here writing to you
Can't send any messages to chat
my notifications are silent and that
I have the TV, youtube and Google
I could also get the art pad and doodle.
Remembering the old days without
I was always roaming out and about
Seeing people in person to go and talk
Even if it was a hike or a good walk
A banter, a meal, drinking a coffee or two
Even maybe down to the pub for a few
Using a pay phone box stuck in a que
There was always someone waiting you knew
2p and 5p was the cost of a local call
Having the change for the pips you needed more.

@Geoark. like that so much its set me off again.
My Day ( or Sleep? )
I think for me, its just another week
Since like you I cannot sleep.
I seem to nod right through the day
So finding sleep, try as I may
That sandman has gone his merry way.
He's with someone else during the night,
I wish that he would see my plight,
I have no trouble with Fibromialgia
To be bright as a button one minute
then lost in a blurr, watching TV down stairs.
But when my head hits that pillow,
My head comes up with all this dribble.
I dont care if bus prices go up,
or what the price of fish is in China
I don't care if Boris is on holiday
Cos' I've already seen the batte bus.
I'd like to think I could swim again, or run an marathon,
But the body has other ideas,
which are really not on display.
I've got some hidden illness,
that most don't understand,
Until it you,
just you
pretend.

Some gd poems

Although you may not love me
Although you may not care
If you ever need me please know that ill be there
Your love may all be taken
your heart may not be free but if your hear is broken you can always lean on me .1
