Things I love

 Things I love

The colour Green, autumn leaves, blossom trees,

Butterflies, blue skies, stir fries.

Morning cup of tea, sweet peas, swimming in the sea!

Family tree, Mountains, scenery - easily!

Charity shops, forward spring  clocks, music – that rocks!

Cats! Interesting facts! Bats!

Love to care, recliner chair and to spike my hair!

Rose wine – and dine! Being on time.

A setting sun, having fun, loving someone.

I Hoard vinyl records and play Scrabble on boards

Corrie street, warm heat, clean sheets.

Syrup sponge, a wild plunge, groups that play grunge!

Holidays, getaways, Fridays!

Feeling well, caramel, tagliatelle,

Banana split,  to knit, try to keep fit.

A good thriller, a chiller, with a killer.

Garden pretty, people witty, my kitty!

Ecology, biology, Astrology

Virgin snow, UFO’s, my wonderful son, Joe.

Good friends, the West End, my beautiful daughter, Gem.

Chilly

  

Chilly

 

Ice!

It’s not nice!

The sleet and snow

Is cold and bites

All white and glows.

 

Dripping nose,

Froze

To my toes,

Right through my bones,

Despite wearing

Warmer clothes.

 

So nippy!

Everywhere slippy!

Cooled down

One hundredfold.

It’s taken hold,

I was foretold.

Feeling bitter

Freeze and shiver

Am frosty, frigid

Chilly

Rigid.

 

Perishing!

Fingers numb

I have become

Jittery!

It’s so slippery!

Icicles

In the humidity

 

Snow fell

Climate cold as hell

I try not to grumble

Trip up and tumble

But the temperature

Has dropped

And in the summer

It’s much too hot!
