Stolen moments 2

 Stolen moments

Head bent under murky sky

And heavy thoughts

Spotted a dash of blue 

A shy Caladenia orchid 

In this drab forest

Pointing its head

And the world is better!

Stolen moments

 Stolen moments

Black clouds

Rainy day

Covid-19 lockdown

Stolen lives.

Life is not meant to work

Life is not meant to be rich

Life is meant to live!

I picked up a book

Underneath was a doodle

From her long time ago

My eyes teared up

When will we see her again?

Putting on her favourite music

Listening to it carefully 

I miss her  for I love her  so

Why, but why do cockies 

Scream when they fly 

Over the gumtrees?

Daisies filling the planter

A blast of joy

The first iris unfurling Itself 

Spring is pushy this year!

The dog playing

Running anew after the ball

Joyous to be alive.

Spring 2020

Spring in the garden 2020

The lemon trees are in bloom

The jonquils too

The buds on the peach trees

Are open attracting bees

Spring is here there’s no doubt

With a sprinkling of snow

And flurries to show

You would think the garden

Is an aromatic delight

Well, think again,

It reeks of blood and bone 

Offending the air

No bird in the flower beds

Watching weather forecast

For a rainy day 

To wash away that stench

May it come quickly!
