One for sorrow, two for joy 🐦
A lonely magpie sat on a low branch of the rose apple tree, among the bunches of ripe fruit and bloomed flowers. He waged his little tail and sang a song. A lovely song. The tune floated through the morning mist. Lovely and sweet. But no reply came. He sang again that lovely tune. High […]
Beloved night 🌃
The black and murky night with stars above the willow The peaceful and serene night with dreams upon my pillow The silent and calm night that brings rest and sleep to the souls The mystic and magical night were to the blue moon the grey wolf howls The spirited and gleeful night when the fairies […]
The perspective 👁
Do you like red? How many of you would say that your favourite colour is red? What are the things you associate this colour with? Some years back, I was not a fan of colour red. In the right words, it appalled me. Back then, for me, it was a too bright, gaudy, attention-drawing colour. […]
Wild horses of Delft Island
I am the gentle breeze that blows across the land I am the violent storm that swirls the desert sand I am the brutal gale that bends the Marram blades I am the raging squall, the whole land I invade Count on I no one, freedom is my name In this barren land, my spirit […]

Angry was the hooman after I left A choice cut dead mouse on his bed He ran to the bathroom in a haste A priceless rodent went to waste Tired from puking first thing in the morn He prepped my breakfast weary and drawn Sitting on the countertop lazy and bored Tipped his coffee mug […]
November rain ⛈

Night fairies 🦋
Pretty little butterflies upon the night breeze Tiny sweet baby moths upon the wind that freeze Friendly little night insects upon the grass and trees Fluttering, like fairies, come to the night-lamp while I read Delicate and neat lacy wings Golds and silvers and shiny pinks Pastel shades of blues and greens Come to the […]
I’ve got you 🖤
I saw you curled up in a corner, a wee baby of an inch or two Too small and too delicate to be left alone next to the snaking queue The thundering of the trampling feet covered in shining polished shoes When the rumbling train went past, with an ache, I saw myself in you […]
You are my sunshine 🐶🌞
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 are my bonnie, my sunshine, my friend To whom I come running when my mind needs a mend Among the slobbery kisses […]
Life inside books
To spend a few days inside a book Among the pages in a fascinating world To roam the streets in London town Or to sleep in a cottage bed tightly curled To meet characters of a different kind To know their different lives as of my own To dress in their favorite outfit To dance […]
