violet blush


sweet blush of my cheeks
hope blossoms eternally
our renewal sings

dreaming of the sky
just a few rungs higher up
my infinity

Foreshadow


wind blows snows follow
wan November furlough
winter foreshadow

Autumn

Autumn's tender rays
whisper of summer's last days
fleeting memory

Ghost Town

The Last of Duncrief

Untold history
languishing into ruin
only ghosts remain
~

Not far from where I live, an old ghost town has almost disappeared back into the realms of history. Only a decrepit house stands where once hope flourished. No mill left to mark settler's dreams. No plaque planted to tell its tale. Just broken glass, battered boards and a hint of what could have been in small-town Ontario...

Frozen


frozen winter dreams
blanket the world in snowbanks
tough job for spring sun

Dancing Flames


everyone loves fire
like moths to a blazing sun
watch the dancing flames

Visitors




birds in flocks arrive
banded visitors aplenty
abundant reasons




fair cedar waxwing
dining on crab apples fine
a gift of breakfast

my treat to spy you
regal birds so prolific
please return once more

Affirmation

No slap on the wrist necessary. We are all fallible. Goal-setting is important, whether we reach the final mark or not. Sometimes we need to test things out before we figure out if it is a good fit or not. Or if our objective is even attainable.

Is my objective attainable? Well, with my attempt to write about What's On in London, the answer is possibly, but not probably I suppose. In theory it should be easy! I wrote articles for a client every Thursday highlighting what was going on around town, but I had it scheduled and, more importantly, charged for that service. I felt a certain level of responsibility to ensure that those posts went live when they were supposed to. 

As far as me writing them for myself and others here (for free), my will is slightly softer. I do want to do that, but life gets in the way. Paying clients come first. A given, as they help pay the bills. Children require a certain level of attention, as does my partner. I try to fit in personal goals, like hitting the gym, grocery shopping and occasional coffee dates with friends. My needs aren't high. But apparently neither is my drive.

So today I remind myself that - That is ok!

I can do whatever I set my mind to. If it doesn't get done today, maybe I'll do it tomorrow. Or maybe it's not worth doing at all...

Frozen Heart


a heart cold as ice
suffers in winter's deep freeze
 may spring thaw its core

December Grey


line the world in steel
erase all the blunt edges
sink into silence

The Edge of My Seat


the edge of my seat
is my favourite place to
watch you grow and fly

~

My little daredevil inspired this post
with her antics in our crab apple tree
a few weeks ago.
That might have been our last spot of sunshine
and I'll hold onto it tight
as we ride out some wet & wild weather
tonight.
Hope Sandy hasn't washed all my bloggy friends away.
Be well

heightened hiatus
of the almighty poetics
dried up written words

Late Summer Days

Twirling and dancing,
I've 
skipped through summer. 
Laughter and smiles 
leading all the way.

From eastern excursions,
to 
miles west of home
it seemed perfection
graced all my days.


sand between my toes
sunshine on my shoulders fair
silence drowned the dawn



but dare I blink 
and spy this dream
fading into dusk
as autumn crowns 
the harvest morn
and 
toil resumes its thrust.





one cannot e'er lie
idle sleeping all their days
wake to life once more

Delphinium Dreams


Summer Blossoms straight
reaching for clear azure sky
delphinium dreams

If only they were mine
for all time

release

silent voices scream 
waging war in thoughts at night 
release to the dawn

vibrations

Positive vibrations
sneak into sedentary soul
Look, sunshine!


Have a fabulous weekend all
Keep positive thoughts 
Around you
at all
times
Peace

relentless you

whirling stormy days
hemmed in by starry nights
relentless you
