As Autumn bows her weary head
Over her shoulder does Winter peek
Dark mornings call for you to lay in bed
The day outside looks bleak
The children fight to open their eyes
Surely it’s the middle of the night?
Households filled with cries and whys
Sleep won’t give up the fight
But don’t fret, it wont be long
Until our clocks fall back
And your alarm won’t feel like a gong
Bodies won’t be out of whack

Written for all those currently struggling to rouse their kids as the dark mornings are so deceptive… and they cause chaos with morning routines!!!

A little entry for #RomanticTuesday.
Sometimes I may do you wrong
I’m not perfect, see
It makes you sad and angry
You turn your head from me
But given time you realise
I’m not all that bad
I’m just a man, not tactful
Your average kinda lad
Then we settle right back down
Doing the things we do
Because I know that you love me
And you know I love you too

fLinda’s #SoCS prompt this week…
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “high/low.” Use one, use both, bonus points for starting and finishing with one or both. Have fun!
So, here’s my off-the-cuff poem for today! Y’all can’t keep me down!!!
High flying thoughts and wild ideas
Refusing to listen to anyone’s fears
No worries that I’ll crash and burn
From any mistake, I shall learn
Belief in me, that’s what’s inside
The crest of hope, that’s what I ride
And anywhere that I shall go
I’ll not let anyone make me feel low

Sue’s prompt for #WritePhoto today:
The walls have ears, so they say
Silent they stand, stark and grey
But the things they’ve seen over the ages
Could overfill a writers pages
Happiness, sadness and all in between
A bit of it all, they have seen
Buildings ravaged, falling down
Roots creeping round, gnarled and brown
Yet the things they see, memories may fray,
But sights can never ever be wiped away
