Old And New
Sometimes the old
have to step aside
for the new,
but also the new
have to realise
the old have feelings too.
Their approach must be gentle
or tempers will flair.

Challenges
Life is full of challenges
with every step we take.
Each day we wake up
to new challenges
for us to get through
and each day we face them
to win our way through.

Early Works - A Spy
A man with loneliness as a friend
who lives under a shadow
by his wits and his ears.
A man with a secret kind of courage
who blends into any scenery,
this is a spy.
Date unknown

Kestrel
It climbs on thermals high
Hovers in air effortlessly bound
Looks down with ever watchful eye
At tiny specks on the ground
Moving shadow its only give away
Then down it swoops on its prey

Beyond The Cover
Beyond the cover of every book
new worlds wait to be explored.
Some hold many dangers,
others love and romance.
Whatever lie there
belongs to the author’s dreams.

Who Am I To Cast The First Stone
Every life will have its troubles
that reap the stones of scorn.
No one is perfect,
least of all myself alone.
Therefore, onto others,
who am I to cast the first stone.

His And Hers (Fun Poem)
One was blue and one was pink
They sat on a shelf above the bathroom sink
And while their owners were fast asleep
They chatted to one another all night long
These two pairs of false teeth.

On Their Holiday
The plane flew overhead,
its destination I do not know.
It raced across the blue sky
nudging clouds out of its way
as it took its passengers
far away on their holiday.

Santa Claus Comes To Our House
Santa Claus comes to our house
bringing presents for everyone.
Even our cats
get a present from him,
but only they see
whom Santa really is,
and their not letting on
I say thankfully.

Colours on Our Canvas
We splash colours on our canvas
in all the things we do,
the more vibrant the colour
the more we feel alive,
the more dull the colours
the greater our sadness reveals.
