Sue’s #WritePhoto Prompt…
What lies beneath?
No one can tell
Are you living in Heaven
Or burning in Hell
A calm exterior
Can hide so much
Yet the ripples spread wide
From just one touch
We're guilty of judging
From one single glance
But everyone needs
More than one chance

Sue’s #WritePhoto Prompt this week:
A reverse etheree for you this week!
Hidden
Hidden amongst the wonders of nature
A calming setting where peace just flows
Where rays of sun bless the surroundings
Giving a heavenly glow
Serenity prevails
A haven from life
Flowing water
Greenery
Fresh air
Calm

Feeling poetical…
We talk about life like seasons
Those different stages of life
The spring being our childhood
Summer, settled with husband or wife
Autumn comes bringing changes
Then winter creeps up on us all
It’s in our hands, our legacy
Do we leave smiles or tears that will fall?But recently the seasons
Have not conformed too well
The fresh spring being frozen
The summer a fiery hell
And autumn, well thats still a muddle
Sometimes cold, sometimes hot
But winter merges within it too
Do we need woollies or not?And so it seems life is following
A pattern just as confused
Our childhoods seem to be shortening
It’s hard to keep kids amused
Adulthood creeps up on us quickly
Responsibilities turning up heat
Some live a life of luxury
Others scamble for food to eatMidlife crises and changes
Creep upon us before we know
Even our ladygardens showing
Early sprinkles of ‘snow’!
And the winter, oh the winter
Lasts longer than before
Longer lives, better health, more resources
A blessing or a chore?Life is not meant to be simple
Not always going to plan
And so we should remember
To take opportunity where we can
Do all the things you want to
Work, write, travel, cook, dance, sing
Don’t let your winter arrive
Having not done anythingRitu 2018

Sue’s #WritePhoto Prompt this week:
A rugged landscape
Embellished with skeletons
Bones telling stories
What happened, no one will know
Unless these bones breathe againRitu 2018

It’s a trying time in my household at the moment, filled with hormones and demands, mood swings and laughter. I can’t go into the details, but I can definitely pen a verse to get my own angst out!
Gone are the days when a parent
Simply battled with the Teens
These days we have a new breed
Calling themselves the Tweens!Now with the Teens, it’s expected
Hormones raging through
But the trouble with these Tweens
Dear God, I wish I knewIt’s like ten is the new thirteen
And thirteen’s just as bad
Parenting’s never easy
But I don’t like this Tweenage fad!I was prepared for seven years
Of total Teenage hell
But with these Tweens, they’ve added on
Another three years as well!They stomp around in stereo
And fight at the drop of a hat
You cannot have a conversation
It’s just all rude backchat!And if, perchance, things happen
To not go quite their way
You’ll get the silent treatment
Though they have so much to sayIt flows in images and messages
On Social Media sites
Selfies, emojis LOL’s
To put the world to rightsRight now I live in a timebomb
Of tween and teenage tricks
What on earth will happen when I
Add menopause to the mix?Ritu 2018
