Lots of shoes (haikustyle)
Donna Aug 2017
In my house there are
many many shoes enough
for a centipede

High-heels , Wedges , Flats
Trainers , Work-Boots , Slippers , Pumps
Boots , Flip-flops , Sliders

If I had a wand
Full of magical Powers
I'd shrink all the shoes

And donate them to
all centipedes little feet
They could start a trend

I think all other
insects would be inspired
to wear little shoes

Maybe one day I'd
find a magical wand full
of silvery stars

And all the insects
Will have little shoes to wear
to keep there feet warm
Inspired by lots of shoes in my house there's eight of us :-)

Little ant (haiku)
Donna Aug 2017
Little Ant climbing
up a strand of summer grass
balancing at top

Had a little dance
then wonders how to get back down to muddy earth

Windbreaker blowing
like a sideway trampoline
Wham! The ant takes leap
sunbathing outside and I saw tiny ant and had a moment with nature x

Oh dear (haikustyle)
Donna Aug 2017
Oh dear woke with a
feeling of aneixty
early this morning

there it was sitting
in my chest webbing my heart
into a panic

so I inhaled a
gulp of air held it
for a short while

oops nearly forgot
to exhale , nearly met up with
angels in heaven

soon calmness begins
to settle , kick arsing fear
right down to my toes

where I get up and
walk leaving fear to scatter
alone on carpet

Hmmm must remember
to hoover floors later with
an extra wide smile

outside the weather
looks rather dull again but
that's okay I think

I've got my jacket
and pumps and a packet
of peppermint gum

I can hear lorries
driving by , there must be lots
of deliveries

all ready to stock up
shops or whatever , jeez
there tyres are huge

I take another
swig of deep air and am so
ready for today

manage to get a
grip on my aneixty
which makes me happy

I feel like zorro
as I'm ready to take on
the world with power

got my black cape and
horse chewing a strand of hay  
parked outside waiting

o okay that's an
exaggeration but i
loved zorro when young

Ah well goodbye for
now mustn't ramble on , the
day is waiting for me

Mothers pain
Donna Aug 2017
blowing freeda ******
hula hoops into stale air
holding hands in circle
of teen friendship
ignoring lifes stable path
of family love
choosing time and time again
the darker side of life
filled with Jeremy Kyles
problematic souls
and all I can do
is remain silent and hope
one day she shreds
her cocoon and sees
what real love is

Sleepy eyes
Donna Aug 2017
Sleepy eyes
circles the mind
swimming like a whale
in and out of ocean
blowing letters
up into blue sky
to then splash
back into ocean
making twinkles
glisten silvery twinks
just like stars in night sky
oh my days
life as flourished
into a blooming flower
where it survives
all through autumn and winter
and no matter how cold
the earth gets
there is always a light
at the end of a tear
Random write not even sure it makes sense but felt nice when writing it :-)
I use to be so afraid of posting poetry that I not really totally understand myself but I'm okay with that now cause I'm feeling very happy and confident in myself :)

Donna Aug 2017
Went to B&Q
left with new kitchen cupboards
to put in chalet

an ivory hue
tis warm colour of cupboards
just like sunny day

then we got new brass
handles , looks like spoonfuls of
glistening honey

a fresh new look for summer
like first day of spring

then we painted rooms
and now they look all creamy
just like our daylight

just need to paint one
wall in kitchen the colour
of a rainy day

It's seems overcast
today outside but it's still
fairly early here

was cozy in bed

but it's so nice to
wake up to lovely clean walls
everything is fresh :)
Me and dean got kitchen for chalet yesterday it looks so nice and we painted bedrooms walls :)

Judging
Donna Aug 2017
she lives in basement
flicking paint on white canvas
listening to opera
wearing a long worn jumper
and Jesus sandals.
Her grey straggly hair
like a cloudy day
and her toffy voice
lingered softly after each word.
Her two daughters
adopted or kidnapped
yet both the image
of there sweet mother.
One glimpse of this lady
and my mind as already
made accusations
and I don't even know her.
Funny how sometimes  when u first meet someone u hardly know , the mind as already made up its mind x
spur of the moment write was inspired yesterday after a brief moment with a lady x

Windy day (haikustyle)
Donna Aug 2017
the sky burped up wind
a case of indigestion
attacked all of earth

-------

'twas a great day to
dry clothes on rotary line
it acted well mad

I tried hanging up
bed sheet but it wrapped me like
chicken fajitas

my hair got messy
and my dress try to fly like
a bright summer kite

I manage to peg
up clothes but not without a
Jackie Chan back flip

and the pegs didn't
help they decided for an
early retirement

ah well least all clothes
are nicely dried now and smell
of summer flowers

just need to tackle
all ironing , now where have my
mountain boots gone!!
It such a windy day today and I actually did get attack by trying to hang up bed sheet it was totally mad x

Would we
Donna Jul 2017
If poetry sites
never existed , would we
even write poetry

If you only got
one like or one heart would you
still write poetry

If you were never
reposted shared or trended
Would you still write

------

None of those things
above matter ,writing should
be enjoyed by oneself
Releasing recent thoughts x

Why do I write
Donna Jul 2017
sometimes I don't want
to write poetry , but my
passion for words smile

Only began writing
when I was sad , help myself
back to happy place

so now I question
why I still even write , what
is it all about

i love my family
and life is extremely good
to me..my heart blooms

of course like many
being a mother , brings some
worries when can't help

i love nature too
dam it is so beautiful
it's another world

much prefer fun writes
shows my sense of humour
life to short to cry

of course at times I
feel angry at this cruel world
but beauty exists

pass caring about
people who don't care for me
there loss not mine

so why do I write
not looking for love either
been blessed with enough

in real life i swear
lots of words , ******* hell , ****
Nothing wrong with it

It sure don't make me
a lesser person than I
already am..I'm me

Suffered depression
dam grey nasty moody clouds
fault the ****** lot

So why the hell do
I continue to write , its
a question I ask

Yeap I ask myself
a lot lately , still unsure
as to why I write
