Wings to the Imagination ✨
It was Phil who saw it first. Miss K licking the back of her hand, eyes half-closed and her long legs crossed. It was like a meditation. Phil felt how his eyes widened at the weird sight. And then she noticed him. She looked at him with a deadly stare with her luminous green eyes. […]
She took the sunshine away 💛💔💛
A peach coloured podgy ball full of delight When we met one December night Not a day went by without that smile on your face Love without a bound, blithe and grace You were my bonnie, my sunshine, my friend To whom I came running when my mind needed a mend Among the slobbery kisses […]
The tragedy of the lapwings
The lapwings came in a family Mom, dad, and babies two They settled on the sun-dried lawn And sang all tiring day through Tiny babies with thread-like legs Cute and funny to see The mom and dad they kept on singing They were happy, and the life was free The song caught in the blowing […]
The Nature 🌿🍂🍃
The sky is a vibrant painting The wind is an endless song The river flows over hidden secrets The ocean, a story long The trees tell tales of life The rain will vouch for that The drought will teach many lessons The desert will vouch for that Mountains will sing of gains Valleys will weep […]

Ebony blooms 💮
Every January the Ebony tree bursts in small white blossoms. All the branch edges and the slender twigs cover in plastic-like small flowers which emit a fragrance that can only be described as magical. The January breeze shakes the twigs and makes the blossoms fall and shatter into a million tiny petals. These petals hide […]
The guilt of the rain 🌧
The splatter of rain on the roof at night is supposedly a calming sound that many people like to hear. So a lot of people love when it rains at night because it creates a cozy atmosphere where one can snuggle under the warmth of the bed covers listening to the lullaby of rain that […]
New Year’s Eve 🎆
I hear the rockets burst in the sky I smell the gunpowder swirling by I feel the warmth of sparkling smiles On this new year’s eve Another year is at the door With sacks of hopes and so much more Brand new plans and heights to soar And unknown depths to leap Good and bad […]
My kind of Christmas 🎄
Cool crisp mornings where sunshine seep in rays Softer shades of hues, long nights, and shorter days Drizzles here and there and golden hearths ablaze Good omens all they bring telling that yuletide’s on its way Cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg, aromas swirl in the air Steaming mugs of chocolate bring warmth, love, and care Pine […]
