09-08-22 The write stufff

The machine’s turning,
and out pops a load of words,
and the chapter’s packed.

Words drop temptingly,
from the fictional book vine,
entwining readers.

The book vine drops seeds,
Into the fertile ground below,
where writers spring up.

Picking up the leaves,
that’s fallen from the book vine,
writing out poems.

Strings of wordy pearls,
lovingly formed by writers,
adorning my shelves.

31-07-22 Butterfly Fly By

I’m treasure hunting,
in my office, it is here,
something that I lost.

Notebooks say pick me,
‘I have stories and poems,
things you’ve forgotten’.

Butterflies fly by,
quickly looking for that thing,
on the summer breeze.

So quickly darting,
back and forth then it hovers,
just for a moment.

I’m counting the times,
I have walked a long the beach,
now the sands of time.
