Live in the moment days
Donna Oct 2017
Spilling over the top
Magnolia decorates daylight
Upon minature words
Incased in fluffy clouds
Ones that still softly
Without movement
Where the surface is
In suspended lockdown
Sitting silently inside
Ready to give
The walls a fresh look
Of happiness
To bring smiley faces
Into a new home
Where life positivity
Gives a whole new perceptive
Of nice lazy
Live in the moment days
Inspired by a tin of paint :)

I'm all jumbled up
Donna Oct 2017
O golly gosh
I'm totally cream crackers today
My hair looks like spaghetti
My nose as gone all pointed
My belly ain't smiling
My two ******* now three
My teeth like a vampires
My nails green as grass
My eyes the colour of sunset
My mind is like pasta shells
My hips have got hands
My feet have got elbows
And my head is now my knee
I eat only insects
I have a lizard tongue
My arms are tiny
My *** as disappeared
My eyebrows are smiling
My mole as got ears
But hey! I'm happy :)  


I'm all jumbled up today :))

Silliness
Donna Oct 2017
Sugar and beans
Mixed in a big ***
Caught a cold
And blew a big snot
I saw a pair of slacks
Walking down the street
It had no body
Or any feet
All the houses
Are upside down
There wearing capes
Just like batman
The trees are lollipops
The pavements are blue
You see this poem
It ain't half true :)
This is all that came out :) was fun though x

To the best man I know :)
Donna Oct 2017
It was over a bet! Yes a bet
between you and your pal
and I'm so happy
I choose you babe!
We were only seventeen
and we went on to have a big
family four boys and two girls
Everyday I smile
even if I'm upset or slightly angry
I still smile!
You worked long days and nights
to get us to where we are today
I sure did miss you lots but it's
been worth it , our house is small
but it somehow works well , we stick together as a family
we are like birds flying in sky!
I remembered when my bro passed away it broke my heart in half
I saw sadness in ways I never knew existed , days seemed to never end and that silence planted one fear after another , until I lived only deeply inside and not outside!
I kept running and running
and seem to never stop!
Then one day i climbed
out from behind my eyes
and I finally woke myself up
and you were still there
waiting for me with your big smile and hearty laugh and now we finally getting married next year thanks to our four older kids who have so beautifully offered to pay for our wedding , tis going to be a most wonderful day making all my winter days seem warm outside and leafless trees will
seem like the first day of spring
and when it snows it will glitter so awesomely upon earth ground
that the sun will shine like a summers day :)
Dedicated to my partner dean and husband to be who is my world and I love him very much xxxxx

My nanny Rose
Donna Oct 2017
I remember the days
when I was a kid
and my nanny Rose
lived with me mum sis and bro!
She always smelled so pretty!
Every morning she would
get up early and put on one
of her flowery dresses
even in winter she looked
like summer and she
always sprayed so much
lacquer in her lovely brown hair  
i tasted it everytime!
She worked up London
in a big firm working as a tea lady
Everyday she would push her
little trolley full
of tea and biscuits
into all the offices
she was so loved by all her
employers!
Once a year she would
take us all to see the
Lord Major show up London
and  we would wave our flags
and have a jolly good time.
Every night she would leave
her pearly teeth in a cup
and oh my! did she snore loud
Me and my sister would laugh
under the bed sheets hoping she
wouldn't hear us!
I miss my nanny Rose a lot
she was truly a wonderful lady
and rests softly and warmly
in my memories and my heart
always **
Inspired after readin john baverstock poem about his Nan :)
Thank u john your lovely poem made me think of my lovely nanny Rose x

I painted today
Donna Oct 2017
Painting a stair rail
Was a little stressful
I had to make sure
I didn't get any paint runs
Otherwise it would look messy
O I wish my Dean had been here
He would have done this painting
Within a jiffy
But he was working on another job!
But mustn't grumble
Work is work
And I must truly say
I do love painting
It's rather peaceful
Just like fluffy clouds
On a summers day!
Well I've done the top rails
Now I must work my way down
Right to the first step
Oh dear up down up down
That's life for you
My day today :)

I saw a squrriel
Donna Oct 2017
Today I saw a squirrel
In a pretty garden
It stood on its back legs
And looked at me

It was eating a berry
With its tiny hands
It was ever so cute
So I smiled

It scurried quickly
Through the over grown grass
Lifting it's fluffy tail
Like a pretty fan

Then it jumped over a fence
Back to its home
I'm glad I saw a squrriel
It was fun to watch
Whilst working I saw a squrriel in garden so I watched it for a moment and it made me smile :)

Pitter patter
Donna Oct 2017
I cannot sleep
It's rainy outside
Pitter patter pitter patter
Is all I hear

So I close my eyes
And listen carefully
Pitter patter pitter patter
A song I can hear

The trees are growing
The flowers are blooming
Walked on pavements
Now washed away

Now I'm asleep
And it's still rainy outside
Pitter patter pitter patter
No rain I can hear

The moon and the telly
Donna Oct 2017
A radiator is cold in the summer
and hot in the winter
''Tis part of our seasonal weather
in our homes but the trees are
outside getting undress for winter
But I'm glad for the pretty sky
in day and night , it keeps trees
decorated especially when they
get bored and start scribbling
in the sky , and the moon is the best!
It falls through the trees onto
windows where it watches telly
in the evenings..I have to keep blind
open for the moon but I don't mind
it falls asleep at dawn..I wonder what
tv programme the moon likes
the best..I bet it's David Attenborough
because sometimes when the moon
gets lazy and can't be bothered to
check out the whole of the world
It's easier to catch up on telly :)

Silly silly winter
Donna Oct 2017
I ate my dinner
with a big soup spoon , tis great
for stirring a cup of coffee!
Oh I do love the glisten of
a speck of sugar and if I
put lots of sugar together
tis just like a snowy day
making me want to wear
my Woolley hat and gloves
but it's only October
and the leaves are still
hanging softly slowly
by autumns breeze!
I wonder if winter
wears a fur coat and boots
surely no one can be so
cold and refuse a piece of
warm sunny light , now
I know why winter
seems to shoo the boo
when sweet spring comes
along in her yellow dress
and short yellow cardigan.
Tis a shame cause I think
winter could do with a little
warm cuddle here and there
Silly silly winter.
Preparing myself for the up and coming winter x

Joyful perfume
Donna Oct 2017
I sprayed some
perfume today
and I watched it swirl
and dance joyfully
in the air embracing
the lovely feeling of
being set free from
a pretty glass jar
and I watched it go
outside to where
nature lives where it
swirled over a garden
fence to sit in a tree
with a little robin
where they remained
silent knowing no words
needed to be spoken
Then the sweet perfume
flew up high in sky
sprinkling glitter everywhere
awakening pass summer
flowers from autumns
beauty sleep
giving them an extra few days
or maybe weeks
to bloom prettily on earth
I watched the perfume
float to the sun
to rest with it till spring
and as I look at the little jar
of sweet perfume
I smile too
at how extraordinary
and fun imagination can be
Inspired by my perfume just having fun with imagination too x

Molly Moon
Donna Oct 2017
There's an angel
in the sky but you cannot
see her wings just her
brightness
Sometimes she shows half
of her wing but loves
to keep the other half hidden
O she is so lovely
and the stars love her too
They sparkle every night
singing star songs to the angel
Her name is Molly Moon
You've most probably seen
her too , she loves to float
in sky but only when it's night time
Ain't she just so lovely
The other day she came
closer to earth, I nearly
touched her with my hand.
Next time you see Molly Moon
make sure you say hi to her
she would be ever so happy
if you did.
Not sure where all this is coming from but love creativity it's fun :)

The old lady
Donna Oct 2017
The old lady next door
shuffles along
a leaf covered drive
wearing a green coat
and green matching shoes
as she ventures off to food shopping like she's done everyday!
not that she needed
any more food
but more just to get out the house
and feel the nature fresh air
upon her tired skin!
Everday she either goes
to Morrison or Tesco
mainly for a chat
she's love meeting and talking
to everyone.
She's ninety one years old
and nothing holds her back
she's fought skin cancer
with such bravery
she is truly a lovely rainbow
full of wondeful colourful
smiles **
Inspired by my next door neighbour who is 91 and as strong as an ox her determination inspires me no end x

I don't normally write longer poems but lately it just feels okay to do so x
I be working on this one a little more x

Lazy day
Donna Oct 2017
Feeling ever so lazy
as I still lie in bed
wrapped in warm blanket
edging my feet to step
off onto cold wooden floor
I look at the door frame
and the door is missing..
making me smile
as no restrictions is felt
in my lovely home
of feeling shut in
or unable to escape..
today is just a lazy day
and I can hear traffic outside
buzzing pass
no birds tweeting though
maybe I slept through too late
because the sun as risen
to another day
but my day today
is a lazy day
Lazy day off to drink coffee x

Life's big circle
Donna Oct 2017
are we poets seeking
answers to things that
need no answers
Like daffodils
smiling happiness
amoungst on-growing
weeds just to brighten
the situation of
just being there..
I look at a balloon
from last weeks party
it's blue and silver
ever so pretty
Last week it hung on
a piece of string
this week it floated
to top of ceiling
slowly deflating like
life's big circle
Tis funny you know
as I look around
and see things differently
and capture a moment
whilst I sit comfy on
seatee eating crisps
whilst my sweet man
watches boxing
Can't think of title x
