Poems

Running late  Barrier at the gate Let me in - late for my lesson Whiteboard, Pen, me writing again I do like to study  To release my Creativity  I have tried - successfully  To write in lines of three  In Rhyme most of the time Time soon comes round Time has flown Time to go home  Copyright Kizzy Oakes aka K.J.Oakes

A lifetime habit Of travel and return  Summer days in this country  Are rare I have learned So I spread my wings In a plane, I take flight hustling here and there To check out the sights This is my happy place  During the season I live in my caravan  For this very reason  Winter is so sad Though I still have fun In some ways glad As I seek out winter sun  A traveller I will alway be Till the day that I die My heart is for the sea Where my ashes shall lie  Copyright Kizzy York aka K.J.Oakes Summer 2018

A Ghazal Early days were like Sunshine  Before I found out your Deceit  You made me so happy  Hidden in your persona, Deceit  Good memories, Funny Moments  Shaded with Deceit  They will always stay with me  Despite your Deceit  By day, Dr Jekyll  By night, Mr Hyde’s Deceit  Copyright Kizzy York aka K.J.Oakes 2018 

Lockdown Freedom  Sick of this depression  And feeling so fed up This lockdown hasn’t helped at all I’d sleep all day and night If only I could Can’t wait  till 4th July And we have our own Independence Day So much I’ll want to do by then  Sick of being cooped up  In this house-sized pen  The rest I seek  Is not House Arrest  But going and doing  Something I like best Visiting other places of interest..... Castles, Beaches, Museums,  Galleries.........  So much out there Has gone to waste But - I’ll be back in a haste Don’t want to be rushed Want to set out at a leisurely pace Don’t want to be pushed No longer a race But to ponder ........  Ponder, to my hearts content  Browse and peruse No time to relent  My time is mine now Money well spent !  Copyright Kizzy York aka K.J.Oakes June 2nd, 2020

Stuff Catholicism  Park it right there Rituals so boring  It’s going nowhere !  Copyright Kizzy York aka K.J.Oakes

Life after lockdown  Cashless Society  No ATM,s  People fearful  Of ever using them again !  Copyright Kizzy York aka K.J.Oakes

You are the darkness  That pretends it is light When I found out  I took flight  Copyright Kizzy York aka K.J.Oakes May 2020
