new years eve

Preparing snacks and nibbles

On a silver platter

Gathering of family and friends

That’s all that matters

Celebrating as the new year appears

Dancing and singing and having fun

Everyone’s welcome who can come

The bar is going

The cocktails they are making

Shots are preparing

As the new year is approaching

Twelve o’clock strikes

And the new year is here

Everyone gets a kiss

And off goes the party poppers

And good cheer

christmas tree

The children decorate it

As it stands tall

On goes the tinsel

The balls and all

Its starting to look pretty

But not quite good enough

Out come the chocolates

And all the other stuff

Next come the lights

So shiny and bright

We have to get them glowing

And get them just right

Then comes the fairy

Who sits upon the tree

There we do place her

As she sits there with glee

presents

So many things that I would like

I want a karaoke

But then I would need a mic

I would also need discs

So I could sing

So that is some of the many things

I want an ice bucket for my bar

But I also need pumps

And optics for my drinks

All so expensive

By far

I need new clothes

Maybe a dress

But then I would need shoes

And a handbag to match

And this would cause a lot of distress

But all I need

Is a sack

On Christmas day

For the kids

From santa on his sleigh

Christmas Time

Santa visits just once a year

To all the children who are good that year

He leaves them wrapped under the tree

For them to open with glee

Children awake at the crack of dawn

As they wake their parents with a yawn

They gather around the Christmas tree

With all the flickering lights

Pretty as can be

Their little faces

As I see that smile

That santa got that

New toy they have wanted for a while

He only gives to the girls and boys

Who are not naughty but are nice

The ones who’s parents

That are proud

And not the ones who continiously row

　

　

spain

Cocktails waiting

Palm trees swaying

In the distance

Of the deep blue sea

Relaxing in a sunny climate

Lying in silence

As I hear the waves

Swishing in the sea

The breeze of the the trees

As I lay on the beach

Children playing

On the sand dunes

Sangria

Seashells and sandcastles

The whispers

The swishing in the sea

Siesta time for me

　

　

love

Love is sacred

It is like a dream

It comes to some

Who love the scene

Mr. right might be close

You never know

He could be under your nose

When it happens

It is grand

You think it will last forever

But is not always the case

Sometimes it dies

And you can’t get that warm embrace

Nothing is forever

As someone said to me

But love can be special

To those who love it to grow

You cannot force it

Its just one of those things

You either feel it

Or you stop yourself

From feeling these things

　

　

The Rocker

Music makes me happy

It makes me want to shake

My head along the dance floor

Oh for goodness sake

The strum of a guitar

And the banging of the drums

Makes me want to scream and shout

And bang my head about

It makes me want to slam dive

In a rowdy crowd

And fall in the arms

Of someone who is proud

To be a rocker

Just like me

Loving every minute

Screaming tweet tweet

Rocking is my thing

Slamming my head about

Yelling in a loud voice

Rock it all about

slam diving in a crowd

And strumming on a guitar

Banging on the drums

Like a rock chick strums

Ghosts in The Night

I can hear the ghosts in the night

I wake up alone flickering the light

But when I awake

Nowhere to be seen

Except a voice

I hear from a far

Almost like an engine

Or someone revving up the car

　

I know I can hear them

But they all laugh at me

I have even seen them

Looking at me

Why Don’t they believe me?

It’s as if I’ve gone mad

They think I’m crazy

And believe I am mad

　

I am not I hear them in the night

Creeping in my room

Sitting on the edge of my bed

And then I awake and hear a loud boom

I gasp and jump up in fright

And then they disappear

And I wonder where

As I sit in fear of my life

But it all goes quiet

So I snuggle up tight

　

　

　

　

cameron my son

He’s special to me

Not a bad trait in his body

Kind to the bone

He’d give you his last penny

　

I couldn’t fault him

I wouldn’t know how

My eldest son

I am very proud

　

He does well at school

His brain is in gear

The exams will phase him

He’ll pass

He will be in the clear

　

He helps in the home

Likes his money

Earns his crust

And never goes bust

　

I would be lost without him

You don’t know how much

I couldn’t explain

If we ever lost touch

　

Although that would never happen

For he is my son

The love I have

Is always and forever true

　

Hormones are racing

Hormones racing as she turns fifteen

The boys she Is embracing

They think she is supreme

Her long golden curls

And her piercing blue eyes

Cascading in the sunlight

Strolling down the street

In her pale green dress

Who did she think she would meet

　

Pretty little thing she is

Her attitude aside

She is very upfront

And knows she can’t hide

　

Why is she so obnoxious though

There’s a glint in her eye

It makes her devious

And tell big fat lies

　

The glowing in her cheeks

And the paleness of her skin

Make me think she is nice

Deep inside and within

　

Turnips

Turnips are a purpley colour

A vegetable that looks odd

Im not sure where they come from

Its kind of funny but very odd

I’m not quite sure what they taste like

Maybe sour and grim

Not really sure at all

But even if I did would I want to eat him

I don’t think I would

I would pull a face

At the taste in my mouth

Then I would choke and cough

And spit him out

Poor little turnip I would then think

What have I done

He’s done nothing to me

How could I?

Torture and abuse is what I have done

Never again until he is done

　

Cheeky monkey

Cheeky little monkey

All sweetness and light

Huggable and cuddly

He brings such delight

He is my little baby

I squeeze him tight

I tuck him in and kiss him goodnight

He gets in moods a lot

And has a habit of annoyance

But you can’t stay mad with him long

Cos he is as cute as they come

I love my little Jordyn

I love him so much

I can’t explain

The closeness we have together

And his incredible touch

He is my baby boy

My youngest little man

The cheeky one

Of all the clan

Cats

You are so tiny

So small and so sweet

A nice kind of brown

A little munchkin

I could eat

You’re my little kitty

Shadow is your mum

We didn’t expect you

A big surprise did come

You are a funny little thing

You make us laugh

You chip around the house

Like a little mouse

We love you so much

And become so attached

We couldn’t live without you

You are part of our family now

And we love you so dearly

mum

You don’t understand what I felt as a child

It’s hard to say that is why I was wild

I don’t blame you anymore

I understand the situation a lot more

It has been hard being a mum

With no brothers or sisters

To guide me through it all

No one else to call

I hated you for having affairs

I couldn’t understand it

It left me in despair

How you could hurt

The people you love

It was tough

Now I am an adult

I understand

I know you never wanted to hurt me

It was out of your hands

I forgive you

Now I know

But dad is always in my heart

I love you both so

　

Dad

Dad I miss you

I’m not sure what to do

I know your looking down

I can see you frown

Why is she being like this

You would know what to do

Dad I need you here

To lead me through

I’ve done all I can

She is not going to change

I can’t put the boys through the pain

Cameron is not keen to see her

But he does to keep the peace

Jordyn refuses point blank

He is very Frank

I don’t feel anything for her

My love for her has died

I never thought I’d feel like this

But she has hurt me deep inside

Dad I love you

You are always in my heart

I wish I could phone you

So I could hear your voice

And maybe you could help me

And give me some kind of choice

family life

The peaceful wish is too much to ask

Of my teenage daughter who wants a blast

Sleep would be nice

A life wouldn’t be so bad

But this is not a laugh

When she makes me mad



Her hormones are racing

Not a little girl

Where did she go

My sweet princess

I really don’t know

I just wish she would realise

The sacrifices I’ve made

But not anymore

She can make her own mistakes

Two little boys

All sweetness and light

They’ve been through the mill

But they are my rocks

Oh I could squeeze them tight

One day she will grow up

And be all nice again

Or has she gone for good

I hope that she will come again

Boys oh boys

Where did I go wrong

You two are so good

So I must have done something I should

I love you all

And that will never change

I just hope she remembers

What she has put us all through

My hubby and I are so strong

She nearly broke us

And tore us apart

I just want to ask her

If she has a heart

I don’t feel I know her

Like I used to

She has changed

And an exception

To the rule

starryeyed

Capricorns are hard

To get to know

They have friends

But not a flow

Family people are their life

When they love you

They want you for life

Aquarian people can be flirty

They can also do the dirty

They can be nice

They can be nasty

But they like a good old party

Pisces people are very fishy

They are known to flirt with Mr. dishy

They can be unfaithful in love

They indulge in drinking, smoking and love

Aries people can be selfish

But loving as well

They are very passionate

But argumentative as well

Taurus are warm

Loving and giving

Loyal and homely

To all that are living

Gemini are nice

But then they are not

They are two people

One of them is faithful

And the other is not

You think you know them

But they are always changing their plot

Cancerians get bored

And very hard to please

They like to be in the limelight

And love a good party

They need their partner

To be laugh a minute

Be spontaneous

Or they bin it

Leos think they know

Everything in the world

They are never wrong

And they argue with the world

They think they know best

In everything they do

But do they really

It is not true

Virgos are boring

The most boring of the lot

They are always at home

And misery a lot

They don’t want to go anywhere

Or experience new things

They are quite happy plodding

On with normal things

Librans are bright and bubbly

And mingle wherever they go

They love to enjoy life

And never full of woe

When bad things happen

They find it very hard

As they want to be happy

In everything they do

They weigh things up

And see both sides

They can see what

Everyone should do

Scorpions are fussy

When it comes to food

They speak their minds

And would whip your behind

You wouldn’t want to get on their wrong side

Because if you did you would surely hide

Sagittarians like freedom

But like to feel loved

They do what they want

And will not be shoved

They are in control

Of what they do

And if you love them

You have to accept

Them for who they are

Otherwise the love will die

And you will be no more











　

Teen Poem

Footsteps in the night as the rain came down

The creek of the open door

Shadows in the night

Stars shining bright

Creeping up the stairs

The closing of the door

She appeared as the clock struck twelve

The aroma I could smell

Walking upon the stairs

It slowly drifted into the night

The sleepless nights I have

Sitting worrying what would occur

Couldn’t help the pain I felt

Panic and anxious

Not knowing where or who

Why does this happen

I can’t explain

Selfishness I don’t know
