Don’t Cry, Charlie
Charlie stop that whining the cat is not plotting your death, She’s just lying on the sofa trying to catch her breath. Echo’s such a lovely lady with sparkling emerald eyes. Hush now baby there’s no need for all your plaintive cries. She wants so much to be your friend, you silly puppy boy. Echo…

I Wrote A Poem; I Hate You All! – My family not my readers
I told my fish to stop their fighting & they bit each others tails. I told my kids to stop their fighting & my husband laughed in gales. I asked the grey cat to please stop drinking my lovely cup of tea. Smokie looked solemnly at his water bowl then stared straight back at…

I wonder why I can’t write A work to inspire acclaim! It isn’t that I’m not that bright, Or have no talent to my name. With creativity I’m more than blessed. Wisdom floods right out my ears. Yet my writing never quite impressed. My lack of fame brings me to tears. But I finally realised what…

Waiting
To make an appointment we had to go, Sit at Social Security for an hour or so. Masses of people buzzing around, No eating or drinking signs abound. Alex was on her computer to try & stay sane, I had my writing pad to do the same, Mum had her Kindle, so she was alright.…

I Hate School Fairs
In every part of my body I ache I’ve eaten all the chocolate cake I walked for miles to sell some books Braving the cold & disparaging looks And now my toils are all but done The profits are for another one “It’s for the kids” is the rallying cry I’ve done my part, so…

Lucky You, For There Are No More, This Is Haiku No.4
Lonely tree stump stands Apart from green, flowers, Life In a dirt circle
