Raining Cats and Dogs

Raining Cats And Dogs 

The limitless, rhythmic, rain 

Constant,

Upon the window 

Splish, splashing, mesmerizing 

Me into daydreams

In it's hypnotic incessant, 

 Obese clouds idly wandering around 

Holding July hostage, 

Calling a halt to the glitter of sun 

Upon my dreams.

My Mountain

My Mountain 

He's always been like a mountain to me, 

Always there tall and strong, 

Forgiving me no matter what went wrong 

In his shadow was my haven, 

Even when naughty and misbehavin, 

In his arms he kept me 

Safe and sheltered from worldly harm. 

He's always been a mountain to me 

Allowed me to be me, be free, 

He's heard the moans of my strife

All through his life ,

I'm still in awe 

Though he knows me no more, 

Loving him is a joy not a chore 

The man mountain that is constant in my mind 

Remains with me still, 

Though now its harder to climb 

He'll always be my mountain,

A Mothers Love

A Mothers Love 

I could never ever lose my way, 

On a damp,dark and dreary day, 

For my mothers always there with me 

In spirit, not solid or physically, 

She guides and mentors from above, 

Still caring and giving out her love, 

I see her in my minds eye, 

Hear her voice in my head, sweet as a lullaby, 

She rises high above the throng, 

Showing me the way so I don't go wrong, 

A mothers love never dies, 

It stays with you forever, grows and thrives, 

In your memory emblazoned for infinity, 

Your mother to you always your divinity!

A Time To Love

A Time to Love 

Time it once had a meaning, 

The years had seasons, 

Day and night reigned and waned, 

Love was pure and unstained, 

Before the grains of truth and trust, 

Began to seep out, Began to rush, 

Seeping and lies creeping, 

Insidiously drowning love. 

  Our times have had  meaning 

Our love had its season 

The grains of our love 

Ceased flowing became corrupt 

It stopped!

Times up!

Loves finished! 

Abrupt!

Natures Dance

Natures Dance 

Sky Reading by A Chance of Sunshine

MY oh My don't get upset, don't cry, 
Put your bad thoughts in the breeze,
Let them go, let them fly, 
Dance daintily with the leaves,
For when your feeling blue,
Nature will always be there for you

My oh My don't spill your tears, don't cry,
Put all your hurt in the wind,
Sing out loud, don't sigh,
Let the hurt go, let it fly,
For when he's been unkind
Nature is there for you!

My oh my, share your true love,
 Put your heart in his soul,
Dance and soar like a dove,
Let your feelings go, let two become whole,
  For when you've found the one,
Natures tricks have been done !

The mummy fairies giggle,all excited 

Cos they have waited and waited, 

For the magical soapy bubbles to be sighted !

      The rainbow colours dancing in the light 

Are the tiny wings of a little sprite!

The tiny delicate wings, 

Of a brand new fairy!

The Lament

The Lament 
A very short story

Art at google.com


Each night she stood reminiscing that final farewell,in her memory the mighty ship stole away her beau. Beneath her,course grains scratched at the soles of her feet yet in her mind tortured thoughts of all those 'what ifs' rattled constantly in her head, As the ship had sailed away she swore she saw angels perched upon the mast, this reassured her their love would forever last, and it had, it was an everlasting love that would last longer than she .She caressed the soft mound forming under the dress she had made for the day of their church union, but he had left his seed within her and though they were parted they would meet again in heaven till then she would nurture and love there child away from the sea, away from the lure of her lovers last mistress and with this thought she threw her bouquet to her watery rival and never again looked back .

The Jungle Beat 

Marvin The Monkey had  wander lust, 

To forsake his home, 

Find his Love for music was a must. 

He packed for a safari, 

Taking his secret weapons, 

His musical bananas Cheeky and Charlie. 

They trudged miles to the beach, 

To recreate the sound, 

Of the jungle beat.  

Cheeky and Charlie their guitars, they did strum, 

Marvin used coconuts. 

To play Like a drum.

The sounds they made were so cool, 

Soon they were begged,

To open a rock school.

So Marvin ,Cheeky and Charlie, 

Worked hard at what they loved, 

And lived their lives happily !

Together (Childrens Lit )

Together 

An Elephant looked out upon a darkened sky
He closed his eyes and muttered my, oh my !
Shaking and quaking in his boots,
His trunk couldn't help making  involuntary toots.

A friendly little likeable pooch
Was out taking a leisurely lonely mooch,
When suddenly he jumped high,oh so high!
As he heard the elephants deafening tooting cry.

The little pooch headed towards the hullabaloo,
 He met the humongous Elephant,
And thought what to do, what to do?
He wasn't frightened or wasn't scared.

He guided the elephant and showed he cared,
Strengths are different within us, big and small
But working together makes even the smallest of us tall.

Where all the magic fairies dance

To the buzzing of the  honey bees

In a land of green 

Where everyone is free

With Daddys spade 

In my red welly boots
