The Magic of Love

A magic potion
A spell upon us
Love’s incantation
A personal enchantment

A Book of Shadows
Incense and Candles
Herbs and roots
Gods and Goddesses

Gaia the earth
The mother of all
Diana the moon
The universe’s call

Turrets and towers
A city of spires
Misty minarets
Love’s passionate fires

A heavenly union
An angelic choir
As my soul trembles
With immeasurable desire

A life with you
The magic of love
A gift from on high
From up above

Sunrise

Sunrise

The beauty of
The early morn
Watching the sunrise
The breaking of dawn

And so begins
A brand new day
A new beginning
In every way

From out the dark
And into the light
The dawn of possibilities
A heavenly sight

Out with the old
And in with the new
The splendour of life
The morning dew

The privilege one feels
To share this wonder
Uplifts your soul
Tears worries asunder

Nature’s majesty
And universal power
Above all things
Doth surely tower

At the Beach

A deserted beach
Not a soul around
Not a person in sight
Nor any human sound

But soundless, oh no
There’s the rolling waves
The sound of gulls crying
And the seal as he bathes

A rock that looks
Like a basking seal
Whitecaps and rocks
And a gentle dull roar

Driftwood shapes
A dolphin, some whales
Remnants of weather
Of stormy gales

Your head on my thigh
The sound of the waves
As there we lie
On a dull chilly morn

The mist in the trees
Verdant green hills
Windless lees
Memorable times

What’s in a Book?

What’s in a book?
Between the covers
Let’s take a look
At the wonders inside

Whether fact or fiction
Novel or poetry
Written with perfect diction
Or slovenly prose

What about genre
Romance or mystery
Fantasy or horror
Thriller or erotica

Escape the mundane
Visit the fantastic
Magical worlds
Imagination elastic

So what’s in a book?
Now you know
Anything you like
Go on give it a go

Tahoe Queen

tahoe

Tahoe Queen

In the footsteps of Clemens
A path now well trod
Astride a mountain
Before a lake so pure

A Tahoe Queen
In Zephyr Cove
A paddle steamer
Thoughts of Twain

Distant Mountains
On the opposite shore
Snow peaked caps
A beauty so raw

Gentle waves
Lash the shore
A crescent cove
A sandy beach

Dogs playing chicken
With incoming waves
Crazy cold water
Crazy fool dogs

Firs and pines
About the beach
The sound of waves
One’s ears do reach

Shining water
Clear as crystal
A translucent blue
And trees of green

Summer sun
Winter snow
At 7000ft
Nestled between the peaks

The rape of the earth

earth

The Earth

The rape of the earth
Has continued too long
Charging headlong
Towards its final death song

How many ways
Can we possibly find
To destroy our planet
And nature’s purpose undermine

Open cast mining
And deforestation
These affronts to Gaia
And the whole of creation

A world polluted
Rain turned to acid
Leaves vegetation and life
Limp and flaccid

Over Fishing
And Herman’s stunt
African safaris
And the big game hunt

The continual abuse
Of our eternal mother
Leads us onward
Closer to the fall

Plunging on headlong
Towards oblivion
All for the worth
Of her natural resources

A Work of Art

A Work of Art

Watching you lay there
Oh beauty so fair
A vision so pure
A grace so rare

The body of Venus
Aphrodite combined
Intellect and humour
A mind so refined

A love eternal
A soul so pure
Ever lasting
Our love will endure

My one true love
My ever after
You fill my heart
With joy and laughter

One final word
From deep in the heart
Always together
A work of art

The One Legged Goose

The One Legged Goose

A one legged goose
With his love by his side
Gliding along
A smooth looking ride
Underneath
All hell breaks loose
The thrashing foot of the one legged goose

Knights of Old

knights

Knights of Old

In days of yore
Of damsels and maids
Of women most fair
When battle was made

A mighty steed
A rampant charger
Dazzling armour
A knight sat proud

A lance in his hand
Spurs on his feet
He threw down the gauntlet
Cast his gage

Of rage and fury
On battlefield bleak
Judge and jury
And justice did reek

Gods will be done
Trial by combat
A test of arms
Running the lists

A lance in his hand
An axe, A sword
Maybe a mace
The weapons of a lord

Shield bedecked
With scarlet eagle
A griffin rearing
The three lion device

The sanctity of arms
The benediction of might
The blessing of arms
The glory of battle

The power of might
The right of power
Razing villages to the ground
E’en the flower filled bower

Men without charms
To the slaughter like cattle
Serfs and peasants
Mere cannon fodder

A time of majesty
They’d have us believe
But the reality was
Worse than we can conceive

Hamhock Holmes and the Case of the Missing Cheese Taster

Well, it seems that the highly talented Chief Pig Officer, (C.P.O) at J and I Publishing, Sir Bacon Doughnut Royal, has added yet another string to his bow and become a published children’s author. Is there no limit to this Pig’s talent?

As a loyal employee I wanted to share this with you all and to let you know that he is working on the next adventure for the intrepid Hamhock Holmes and his trusty sidekick Agatha the Pug.

Description

“Hamhock Holmes and the Case of the Missing Cheese Taster,” is the first book in the Inspector Bacon Mystery Series for kids, ages 7-12.

Hamhock and his sidekick, Agatha the pug run a detective agency in London. When Mrs. Brie Gruyere stumbles into the office, desperate for help finding her missing husband, the head cheese taster for the Lemmington Cheese Factory, Hamhock and Pug know they have a case worth solving before them.

There’s more to this mystery than they first think. The family recipe book for the cheese factory is also missing…and there’s something skunky going on across the road.

Relying on wit, clue finding and Pug’s ability to create distraction, this mystery solving duo will stop at nothing to get the job done!

This is a chapter book for intermediate readers, with some harder words included for practise. This book has a British theme, and is mostly written in British English, so the spelling of words reflect that.
