Like
golden
daffodils
I look towards
the afternoon sun
leaving shadows behind
to be dealt with later on
when light does not lure me outside
to the garden with a cup of tea.
Many are the duller days of life
for when household chores are waiting.
I will keep my golden smile
like warmth of brighter times
helping through grey days
working indoors
while waiting
for the
sun.

Someone stole
my smile.
…
Little Buddha
nurtured it
until my
heart rejoiced
once again.

The weather isn’t getting any better
..
spring’s first gentle breath
hedgerows carressed with blossom
be patient a while
..
the blackthorn’s spines defiant
as winter strives to hold on
..

at ten twenty eight
the spring equinox occured-
winter’s grip still holds

Twin
leaflets cup
the alder’s smile
her arms outstretched in
praise.

Woke to a light grey morning
and a message of contempt
from someone who is jealous
because a cousin did attempt
to make a point of meeting me
without consulting her.
She is not his only cousin
there are quite a lot of us
but I’m the one who isn’t loud
and doesn’t make a fuss.
So I’m not going to let her spoil this
I shall meet them as we’ve planned
and hope she sees that just like us
she’s another grain of sand.

a Mexican wave
of daffodils brightening
my morning commute

Does anybody know if free ebook publishing by Amazon Direct Publishing really is free and do you still hold the copyright ?
Also if you change your mind before completion can you remove your copy ?
Thanks folk. Elaine Patricia Morris

stranding away to the moor
