Let's Go to the Amusement Park

A day out with my kids

I love to go to the amusement park Spending a wonderful day with my kids Sometimes we stay until dark A few times we’ve eaten BBQ Ribs We go every week like clock work I bet in three years we’ve gone a hundred times It would drive most people berserk My kids never complain about the long lines Our favorite rides are the roller-coasters We enjoy going very fast We never want it to go slower We have an absolute blast The sp...

Catapult

We don't fall in love

They say that people fall in loveI beg to disagreeIt’s really more a catapult:You’re launched, then flying free Swirling, twirling through the airThe world around you spinsLike nothing you have ever seenAt heights you’ve never been You catch your breathSuch beauty!Surrounds you and withinYour happiness just radiatesYou feel your life begin Whether you are young or oldThe newness is so crispEverything is wonderfulEverythin...

My eyes beat the alarm, My thoughts nice and warm.Waking with a start.Anticipation in my heart, Planning for fun ahead,Mind clear of dreadLike the last day of school.Packing each one of my tools. My baby is too far away,I miss her every day,Thinking of all her charmsSoon she'll be in my arms, I bubble with excitement,Like completing an assignment,The project is perfect;The reward to collect. Only a short time to wait,Then...

Anticipation

The lead-up is almost as fun.

Anticipation The excitement starts weeks away. We discuss the dates of our next encounter. Both our busy lives leave little time to see each other, but we carve out a little slice. Sometimes, it's a big slice. That makes me grin, as the tickets are purchased. Each day I wake knowing I'll see her again. The weeks go by and none of the little things matter. Perhaps I'm just sappy, but as the days count off one by one and my...

Guitars and Guitars

Just a few unfiltered thoughts about guitars.

I’m sitting here, watching a film called It Might Get Loud. If you’ve not seen it, it’s a documentary about the guitar. Well, that was its aim, but it seems to have turned into a bit of a jam with Jimmy Page, Jack White and Edge. I love how Jimmy and Jack are so perfectly matched. They’re what I’d call natural guitarists. Edge is good in has own way, but not as good as Jack or Jimmy. Jack and Jimmy together, in concert, w...

Dancing with the thunder

my dance with thunder and rain enjoying a moment complete wild abandonment.

The thunder boomed the lighting cracked I sat up in bed The air was electric My pulse pounded My heart sped Chills danced up and down my arms Opening the door I stepped outside The sky's dark The rain beating down Then a flash and the world lit up Everything shown in a monochrome of black and white It was like a sirens song this storm in the dead of the night In a trance I stepped out in the yard Another thunder clap and...

A Little Fat Fairy Tale (Part Three)

The final chapter of the tale of ugliness, beauty, loss and love.

Late the next morning, when Mr Robin Redtummy sang outside her front door, the little fat fairy rolled out of bed, sleepy but excited! She showed the stately bird her dress, and the fireflies (whom he promised not to eat – he told her they gave him indigestion anyway). Mr Robin Redtummy was most impressed by the wonderful Daisy dress, and he wished the little fat fairy well, making her promise to tell him all about the ba...

Christmas Tree

Two boys come running out to tell me they have decorated their tree.

Running through Their house to the front door Theo and Rowan excited from hanging decorations, come to me shouting see what I have done! Love swelling From my heart I look with wonder At their tree Sweet children You have magic That gives me courage To go on.
