she’s gold or bronze, but never silver
she’s a lion or a cheetah, not a pussy
she will never get old
her beauty will never fade
she’s always flourishing
her hair hangs down her face
creeping down over her eyebrows
forehead glistening with grace
she’s gold or bronze, and never silver
and she’s mine, always.

What do you see # 248 – 5th August, 2024

in the distance
light plays in the forest
huge trees stand tall
both close and far

the winter forest yearns
filled with mist and mystery
and then the wolf appears
she’s completely white

she turns around quickly
and she seems skittish
and then a moment later
she vanishes

What do you see # 246- July 22, 2024

eyes so large and blue
tiny hands and tiny toes
she smiles at the camera
what a pretty pose, she grins

she wonders who she’ll be
will she be a painter or a poet
maybe a doctor or a judge
she can be anyone at all

she laughs out loud
and gives a little wink
but just for the moment
she’s busy with her blocks

What do you see # 241- 3rd June, 2024

What am I going to do today?
Perhaps I could make a list
I drift around the house
And I ponder.

There’s so many things in my brain
What should I choose first?

I’m busy on my laptop
And I’m busy on my phone
And then I walk around the garden
Hoping something will come out in my speech.

For the visually challenged reader, this image shows an open book lying on a flat surface, its pages ruffled as by wind. Behind we see a luminous blue globe, and some fuzzy fairy lights, and in the distance a cloudy sky can be seen.

What do you see # 240 – May 27, 2024

she’s a little black and white cat
who tippy toes around the house
walking silently then staring out

now she’s in the garden
clawing the old bench
then she prowls around

she climbs on the wall
who’s out there?

there’s no one in the close
and no one in the bushes
where are they?

she’s back in the garden
sauntering and scampering

but soon she’s ready to snooze
suddenly she’s awake
who is it?

there’s almost a squabble
but the other cat as already gone
and quite right too

now it’s back to base
and it’s lunchtime
and lots of purring

a little later
she’s gone back to bed
what a lovely life she has!
