REFLECTIONS and RHYME

Irony is a fact of life and we have all experienced it!
From the fantastic  summer holiday which we have looked forward to for ages, being rained upon whilst the sun shines back at home, to the guy you have idolised for months who turns out to be a real disappointment.
Often the simple and spontaneous things turn out to be the best things and not the ones we get time to build dreams around, but when all is said and done, you just have to laugh at life’s ironies.

This is a tale about perseverance and of never giving up, even when the odds seem totally against you.
There have been many times in my life when this has been the case, but each time, somehow I push on through. Although a tale aimed at children, I hope that it also inspires big children too.

This one is about my love of singing and dancing, in addition of course to writing.
It considers the importance of these two activities for me, along with the memories of taking part in them over the years. It ends with my current involvement with them and my hopes for continuing with them in the future. I hope through reading this poem, that others can discover the joy which any kind of singing or movement, no matter how small, can bring to most people.

Music is everywhere in the natural world. This poem tells of the wonderful music that can be heard at night time in the Winter months.

I know that for many people these months can be tough, but in this poem I consider the little things which I love about them and which may help others to get through them and even maybe, grow to like them.
Probably weirdly to many, I love these months and in this poem and I tell you why.

Tjis is just a short New Year's Eve greeting poem as many of you may be busy tonight.
Thank you for listening to my poetry this year and all the best for the new year.

This is a short Christmas story about a small fir tree growing near a disused barn. It represents many human resources such as resilience and the down-trodden becoming strong.
I wrote it because I have always kept a Christmas carol in my head which I learned at primary school called “ The Little Green Fir tree” and I wanted to give credit to that carol.
No matter what your belief or religion, I hope it sends a magical message of triumph over adversity, hope and love this Christmas season.

This one is about childhood Christmases as I remember them, when the world seemed simple, easy and straight forward.
I hope it makes you again feel the magic of Christmas if you have somehow lost it along the way.
Happy Christmas to you and yours!

Do you have an odd sock pile in your home? If so, this one is for you.
Its quirky little tale about one such odd sock who is desperate to find his long lost other half.
A children’s story really, but also enjoyed by adults. I have made this one into a book with illustrations and it can be found on Amazon.co.uk.

This poem captures the excitement when as children, we woke to an eerily quiet world and a strange light around the closed curtains and at that moment, we just knew that it had snowed in the night!
From there came the frenzy of debate as to whether school would be closed and the possibility of being able to have a snow day.
The story follows the thoughts, feelings and joy of one such day from it’s start to it’s end as the sun goes down.
