Just a little message to say….

I will be away on retreat for two weeks – back on the 29th June. Sorry I have been a little less active this week – I have been preparing for the retreat – lots of reading to do!

 

If you feel lost without me

))grins((

Please feel free to look through some of my older stuff and let me know if there are any favourites – or any duds!

When I return I am looking at pulling a few poems together under the theme of, ‘Longing and Loss’.

It would be extremely helpful to have any feedback you feel fit to pass on to me – (I have a thick skin – I can take it!!)

See you all soon!!

Sleep is not happening

sleep will not come

my heart it is pounding

and my mind is undone.

The thoughts they are taunting

with memories flirting

the darkness is daunting

as my soul is hurting.

Sleep is not happening

sleep will not come.

I’m Sorry

I’m sorry I used your toothbrush,

really I truly am.

I don’t know what came over me,

please don’t tell me Mam!

 

I really wasn’t thinking straight,

it was merely my mistake,

I saw it sat upon the sink,

it was the obvious choice to take.

 

A spur of the moment action,

to right some rancid breath,

a brush, a swill, to clear the air,

to prevent halitosis death.

 

I thought I was doing the right thing,

just to help out, you see?

To make his teeth go pearly white,

with breath all minty and clean.

 

I know it was quite wrong of me,

and it really wasn’t right,

but now at least the doggies teeth,

are clean and really white!
