Autumn Acorns crunching under feet Squirrels making a hasty retreat Leaves of different colors fallen This is now the season of Autumn Humidity has finally left the air The sun lies lower with less of a glare A crispness now freshens the landscape Summer has finally found her escape Flower petals dying out on stemsContinue reading “Autumn – Poem of the Month – October 2018”

Driven
Driven The street her catwalk The clothes her haute couture Head held high She strutted her stuff At sixteen she was quite mature Wrong side of the tracks Not a good start to life Being posh elevated her confidence Avoiding the strife Able to work this To get what she needed Knowing herself Trusting herselfContinue reading “Driven”
Meeting
Meeting The coolness of the marble Soothed her feeling of duress Waiting patiently for the outcome She smoothed down her dress Looking quickly in her compact She checked her hair A stray wisp had escaped Giving her an eclectic flair The museum was quiet She gazed at the artwork Standing in front of the paintingContinue reading “Meeting”
Lies

Banjo
Banjo It was early in the day The market street was busy An average sized crowd had gathered He played sitting on a high stool Banjo boy why are you not in school The music was amazing His talent evident He looked thirteen years of age Certainly nobody’s fool Banjo boy why are you notContinue reading “Banjo”
