This is a collection of my poetry which I have written over a number of years. It covers many subjects and styles but Mostly rhyming. My works are centred a lot around animals but there is something for everyone here. I hope you enjoy reading and find something useful to take away with you.
Writing to me is a great joy. Nature inspires me with her diverse richness, but I can also see that same beauty in objects, and in these pages you will see that you can write about anything if you give your mind free reign.
I have compiled this anthology of poems in order that I can share my own love of words and creativity with others. Whether you are a lover of rhyme or free verse, you will find something here for you.
My poems follow many themes and nothing is beyond the scope of my imagination. I will always endeavour to allow my readers to immerse themselves in my words and hopefully visualize what I am saying. Poetry is a form of art that gives the writer somewhere to express themselves and purge their feelings.
A CHILDS PRAYER
A child embraces her teddy bear close
And her eyes are now filling with tears
She feels the pain that is calling again
That has haunted her all of these years
She sweeps him up from the bed where she sits
And runs her hands down through his fur
Cradles him close as the tears trickle down
And her teddy bear will comfort her
She stares out the window at the world way beyond
And whispers so soft in his ear
One day my teddy I will walk in those fields
And never again shed a tear
The lights of the buildings are dimming this night
As the children all settle to sleep
In the shadows of the darkness so deep
And the little girl kneels at the foot of her bed
As she holds her hands tightly in prayer
Prays that one day someone will come along
And find her and take her from there
And the small fluffy bear he listens in still
As her prayers are sent soaring on high
And a teardrop falls down from the small button eyes
And he breathes as he gives a great sigh
She climbs into bed and she holds him so close
And soon she is drifting in light
Away with the angels that had answered her prayer
And a new star was blazing that night
And the small fluffy bear he sits there on the bed
And he weeps as he looks in the eye
Of another small child who is saying his prayer
While a tear trickles down from his eye
