Feel beneath your feet

Gaze into the distance sweep
Fields of green aid your sleep

The Self
Universe Poems Jul 2021
When was the last time,
you stood back,
from the daily grime
Sat back,
and, ate some,
Strawberries and, Cream
that is if your allergies,
allow you to redeem,
a substitute can replace cream
When did you last,
have an Aromatherapy bath,
in and, out of the shower,
each day,
when was it last,
your body had time,
to rejuvenate,
and, soak away
Ice cream ask yourself,
when did you sit back,
enjoying each spoonful,
Sprinkled like that

A Bag of letters

Tile Holder

Letters in the pouch
Each player draws a letter ouch!
The player who draws,
closest to letter A
that's your play
Blank tile,
will be first to go anyway
If a tie
the tile players re - draw,
no lie
Each player now draw seven tiles,
Don't take miles
Your turn place tiles on the board,
to spell a complete word pause
Words top to bottom,
or left to right
One of your tiles,
must touch a tile already in play
If the word is altered,
a new word must sculptured
Any adjacent tiles,
your tiles touch,
must make a complete word which is a must
Similar to a crossword hush
You score points for each new letter,
and word formed that's better
Some letters may be counted twice,
If they are in more than,
one new word that's the price
If you don't change the word,
don't count the points,
or that is absurd
That's not part of the game joints
Don't shift or move tiles already played
Poetry Scrabble simply laid

Ice-legs
Universe Poems Dec 2023
Don't crule
Put on your mufflements
Make sure you moble your head
Aquabobs are outside
In the fields,
you can make a Hogamadog
Watch as you roll it and it gets,
bigger and bigger
Maybe a Winter apple
Regular snowball,
Careful not to peck-of-apples
that is slip or fall
It can be icy up there,
in the fields in the Winter fair
Quick before the snow-broth comes,
and there is a shurl as it thaws
Fun in the snow would stop outdoors

Saintship
Universe Poems Dec 2020
A Saint,
walked on earth,
Centuries ago,
before entering the gate,
helping on ships,
it was so
Sailing treacherous,
rough waters,
reviving the sick,
Imprinted in the,  
memory strip,
touching on land,
at the end of a trip
Now awake,
after seeing the full,
Saintship,
still performing duties,
full circle trip

Creative Fecundity
Universe Poems Jan 2022
A colour
A pen
Put onto paper
What happens before then
A swirl of words
Equilibrium sorts the verbs
and slows the swirls,
of the words,
so the artist
can capture,
the whirl and twist
Pen to paper misses this
Creation in the mind,
there is no other kind,
as that creation,
is transferred from the mind

© 2022 Carol Natasha Diviney
Results suggest that creative people are better able to co-activate brain networks that usually work separately. Findings indicate that the creative brain is “wired” differently and that creative people are better able to engage brain systems that don't typically work together.15 Jan 2018

Marble shield
Stonework
Classical columns
Georgian sash
Three or four floors,
plenty of space,
with townhouse grace,
or stood alone
with an approach,
that won't need a phone,
Just a view,
that will withstand,
any Storm
Drive up
Cappuccino and, cup,
or tea with a view,
that will inspire you

Universe Poems Jul 2023
When born everyone is an artist
Creativity the right hemisphere
The left of hand use is also there
Cerebrum sits at the topmost,
part of the brain
It holds your memories
It enables you to imagine and think
The source of intellectual activities
Nature and Nurture,
your creative artist is from birth
Our brains can rewire
Our nervous system,
can change its activity
in response to intrinsic,
or extrinsic stimuli
Without this ability any brain,
not just the human brain,
would be unable to develop the gain
From infancy to adulthood,
or recover from brain injury if it stood
The Arts are in existence,
because Society's roots,
are from human stem shoots
This is where art and culture started
Human Culture for all
would never have been created
Maintaining the Arts
is paramount in all creative parts
So the baby to adult artist,
will have support when the inner artist calls,
the memory won't pause,
and the nervous system,
will keep it's modified connections,
without fictions needing to rewire the systems
No misdirections only artist's reflections

Nature Knows
Universe Poems Oct 2022
Long before you opened the door
Nature knew more
Listen sometimes,
read between the lines
You don't need a clock,
to know what time of day,
it is for sleep rest or play
Look and listen,
tune into the nature mission
Seasons show you the way,
producing light at times,
and darkness rhymes
Times for your body to glow
Times you must shed the load,
and be bestowed,
in fuelling and regenerating,
what's inside that is old

Chapters of Life
Universe Poems Dec 2021
Looking up
The shelves,
are cascading,
high into the air
Covered in cobwebs,
that is not fair
The dark sky,
is in sight above,
winding chains,
fall from the sky,
connected to a table,
that is so high
in the middle of the room,
millions of dusty books,
candles are alight on hooks
I want to zoom into these books
Wait by candlelight it can be seen,
the chains are holding a book,
left open so we can look,
the words are written,
in the middle is where you are,
the book is not finished so far
You can turn the page,
or close the book,
are you brave enough,
to write another page,
please look
This is your life,
fill it with paradise,
and, enjoy every slice

Pointed Hat - Wellie Pops
Universe Poems Sep 2021
Deep in the woods
Pointed hat no socks,
exchanged the heels,
for wellie pops
The path was long
Nature shone
buzzing bees,
bark alive on the trees
Some mist ahead
Wanted to see where it lead
Can see a rest is definitely near,
small but visible and, clear
Cottage in the woods,
eyes can see this is good
Stepped inside
A chair for one,
choice of three,
wanted the one just for she
Drifting now
Sounds muffled,
ears picked up something,
that was special truffled
Three thoughts
They spoke,
you took my chair,
now it seems it is not bespoke
She said this chair,
is not just for one,
you still have yours,
mine is in the sun
I like to sit,
and, feel nature,
on my face,
embracing the glow
Nature is there,
for all you know
It gives bespoke,
whoever is part,
of nature's flow,
that's not a joke
The voices said,
your chair is part,
of what nature said,
We now realise,
your chair came from,
the woodland here
Our voices are part,
of the woods,
as you embrace nature,
your part of the good

Are You Looking At Me
Universe Poems Aug 2021
Take me into your class,
but don't single me out,
when the bell rings clout
Sit by my wheelchair,
if you wish,
talk to me,
with some human pith
Don't stare,
my legs are my chair
When I scream out,
or swear,
some doubt,
the communication,
is what I am about,
my own way,
to speak my emotions,
of how I am feeling,
and, what I have to say
I feel sick,
give me a bag,
dustbin please,
some privacy,
to let me ***** freely
Don't look at me,
when I walk up to the disabled toilet door,
my needs are not for your score

Poetry Paint Splash
Universe Poems Apr 2023
A big clear room
All different colours lined up
Pick a tray
Any colour you wish to say
Stand back
Aim at the wall
Now hurl the paint,
so splashes fall
Another colour please
Bang a paint splash clang
Another tray
Yes there is a lot to say
Crash
Watch the paint splash
More
What colours are next off the floor
Primary colours are best
Bold
Let them out so you can rest
A white wall colour spectrum tall
It's giving you all the colours,
so you don't just express in deep blue
Go ahead,
pick up those colours before bed
You may feel like lead
Could you be smiling without dread
Happiness said
Green
Put yourself against the wall
Feel nature call
Lime mine
Forest green a life dream
Olive tone perhaps a moan
Emerald green
Cover me in Irish cream
When you want to express,
don't dash,
try the poetry paint splash

#new #poetry #expression #resource #poetry #paint #splash


Whenever you are you can create a person-centred resource for all ages using Poetry Paint Splash.

Clear white wall within your thoughts.
Different coloured paints.
If you are a parent, carer or professional you may wish to make a note of the colours that the individual expresses.

Consent from the individual  if they have capacity to consent is paramount before the activity.
Consent could be lifting a finger or eye contact.
Let's remember person-centred consent. Verbal and Non-verbal communication.

It is not a requirement that a person has to use lots of colours, it could be even one colour. The purpose of the Poetry Paint Splash is to provide a person-centred expression resource that can be used anywhere and at any time.

The Gold vase stood,
facing the window vista
Looking onto a street,
filled with darkness,
of lights that peak
Lights of the cars,
up and, down
taking up the,
street perimeter,
all around
Ambrosial treater
Pleasing worthy,
and, divine
The view from,
a window seat,
at that moment,
was all mine

feeling a little bliss,
but a writer can't help,
taking in that writing drift,
when any kind of view,

signed an executive order,
in the 1966 recorder
The third Sunday,

Richard Nixon passed an act
Fathers Day the third Sunday,
in June was that
The United Kingdom,
by this stage,
was already undertaking,
the Father's Day parade
Now it is a day we all know,
thank you Sonora Smart Dodd,
who was Inspired by a sermon,
on Mother's Day,
Mother love display
Dodd proposed Father's Day,
to local Churches,
Shopkeepers and Government Officials
Gaining their support,
on the Fathers Day tennis court,
for the 19th of June
Which slowly spread around the world
Happy Father's Day,
created by a woman's love at play
