Poems

Late Summer is pending  Soon it will be ending  No more congestion  Just time for reflection  Internet highway clear And Zoom will reappear  No longer held up by 02 And making me feel blue This time next year There will be no fear As I get off the O2 plan  And once again, become a Vodafone Fan ! 

Where is elsewhere? Is it in my minds eye? Is it in a lie ?  Is it having fun at the fair ? Where is elsewhere?  Is it at the beach?  Is it out of reach ?  Do you even care ?  Where is elsewhere?  Is it in the past ?  Will it even last ?  It’s secrets, can I bare ?  Where is elsewhere?  Is it in my feelings ?  Rocking and reeling Over there, or nowhere? Here is elsewhere! Inside of me And you, whoever you might be ?  This is elsewhere!

I’ve not got green fingers I look at a plant and it’s dead I’d like to try it as a hobby But, I think I’ll read a book instead I never know whether to water liberally…. Or not? The sun makes it grow, surely - when it is  hot Undernourished or overnourished ? I’m not entirely sure So, I’ll just stick with a book Go for a lay down on the beach I’m more familiar with the seashore. With its vast array of grasses That need no TLC Only kisses from the Ocean To help them grow gracefully  

First time for everything  They say...... Your first love Your heart goes ping It didn't last Feeling like an outcast  Your first alcoholic drink You would not pour It down the sink Your first driving lesson Your very first poem So many firsts I must keep going Your first exam First day of school First time on the internet dating pool First taste of Marmite Did not go down too well The way I reacted  My teacher would tell First tooth grown First embroidery sewn First Pet First House, To Let So many firsts I must keep going First Wedding -  Was not wedded bliss! You hardly had the time to give me a kiss First Pregnancy  Did not go as planned I miscarried The midwife did not let me hold your tiny hand I wanted to keep you But you couldn't be kept First ever period I am a woman now Hormonal, First Row So many firsts I must keep going First time visiting Cambridge  I saw you rowing First time for everything  So they say...... So, I'll just keep going First...

They say I'm a loner I need my privacy  Alone but not lonely Would you like to come -  And read with me? I like to be alone Need distance from my phone Feel the need to read To keep my sanity Else, I will crumble Pray, down on my knees My besetting sin - Don't really want anyone in I like it nice and peaceful  Without such a din So, scoot now Leave me be I'm such a loner Can't you see ?
