Sunday Sonnet!

img_7132wp

As float fair cirrus in the evening sky,
In harmony with jovial gliding gulls,
So moments of kind thoughts respite supply,
The end of day fatigue with calm annuls;
Too little do we hear the voice within,
Or heed what Mother Nature shows without,
Preoccupied with life’s perpetual din
Until neglected soul is spent by drought;
Then, driven by the spirit to survive,
Priorities, alas, must re-allign,
Lest suffering forever we contrive,
Constructive life to dustbin we consign;
Embrace the timely caution proffered here,
Adorn the precious soul with tender care!

Hourglass #1

Stillness rules the roost,
Daylight burgeons,
No leaf moves,
Children
Sleep!
Gulls
Chatter
On Rooftops,
Noise Discordant
Wakes whole Neighbourhood!

Note: My own innovation…..not sure what to call the format! Looks like an hourglass….hence what I call it…for now.

Day After…..

Resting Gull (WP)

Just Resting….

The promenade with jaded amblers teem,
Their self-indulgent excess to redeem,
Surfeit of ‘Eat and Drink’,
Brings Good Health to the brink,
A balanced Way of Life shall be the dream.

Festive Fun…

Cavorting WP

Making Merry…

Westwind blows a gale,
Driving rain comes pelting down,
Shoppers grin and bear!

Children shriek with glee,
Pavement puddles splash and spray,
Wary women winch!

Brassband carols sing,
Festive mood pervades the air,
Gay Abandon reigns!

Mid the bustling fun,
Spare a thought for old, infirm,
Hearts and Spirits here!

Into the Future!

Untimely Death bereaves bewildered lives,
A nation of its treasured peace deprives,
Be not in Woe’s despair,
To Hope’s Domain repair,
For from such trials fortitude derives.
