Breath
Think about your breath as you inhale,
the thought of life without it leaves me pale!
At your first gasp, beginning life sets sail
and your final one, ends your earthly tale...

Car
Journey never-ending, mind sending tired thoughts,
in a trance, I glance at the licorice all-sorts.
Don't need to eat another, I'm not hungry, they're just there,
should show self control and discipline,but lost the will to care.
Just keep driving, keep on driving on this never ending road,
Hard shoulder, one way traffic, lights at amber so I slowed.
I imagine my duvet, how I'm longing for my bed,
I can feel delicious pillows lying warm beneath my head.
Focus on the road ahead, isn't it so kind
when you sing loudly to the radio, it doesn't seem to mind.
Final destination reached, at last mind can relax,
but instead I dream of driving and have I paid road tax?!

13
I was smitten by her charms
as I held her in my arms,
I stroked her soft and tufty hair.
Her eyes were wide and bright,
as they watched me through the night,
I held her close and didn't want to share.
I recognised the miracle with which I had been blessed,
I watched her perfect body lying curled,
I loved her very being, from the moment that we met,
and I wanted to protect her from the world.
Now she is nearly a teenager, thirteen whole years old,
"It's soooo unfair" (and I'm the one to blame.)
But I loved her very being from the moment that we met,
and I still want to protect her just the same.

Monday
Mondays are manic, or so the Bangles said,
mind begins to panic cause it wants to be in bed.
Longs to snooze, to diffuse the mucus that swims
in my brain, so insane like it's rammed full of Pimms!
My head's in the gutter, I splutter and cough.
common cold, be so bold as to sod right off!
(Promise to be chirpier tomorrow! xx)

Grey
Grey day, thoughts play in my mind.
Blue skies, mud pies and shells to find.
Worries and niggles and stress,
phased out by a bright yellow dress.
Silence and sadness and sorrow,
washed clean by blue skies tomorrow.

Munchies
The house is quiet, on a diet so
I long to raid the fridge.
I wonder what I'll find, so in my mind
I form a bridge..
That takes me into a sea of delight,
things are made out of chocolate but
my clothes are not tight.
I slink through meadows of popcorn and cake,
I am sylphlike in bikini(!) as I dive into a lake..
of alcohol!
The reality that sits in my fridge (when will I learn?)
is a mouldy old carrot and some milk that's on the turn!

My Dad
I asked him for a title and this is what he gave,
write a poem called "My Dad," Oh how very brave.
So what can I tell you about my oldest, dearest Dad,
that he is undoubtedly, completely raving mad!
This is one endearing quality, but there are many more,
he is glued to the crossword which can sometimes be a bore.
He thinks he's a comedian, he often loves to tease,
and I'm very sad to say that I inherited his knees!
If we pop there for a bite to eat, at the very least
will be enough food for an army, a most amazing feast.
Astonishingly generous with love and food and wine,
so glad the greatest dad on earth is well and truly mine!
