                    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.

    Halloween 


    Children 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.

    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.
