Orange leaves fall,
Green and yellow leaves too,
Crunch underneath boots.
Orange leaves fall,
Green and yellow leaves too,
Crunch underneath boots.
The Summer heat burns,
Swimming in the icy pool,
Tanning in the spotlight.
The ice cream melts,
Drips on your dry fingers,
Add some strawberries.
Dogs dance,
sparrows sing,
chicks cheep.
lambs leap,
blossom blooms,
joeys jump.
poppies pop-up,
snowdrops shimmer,
daffodils dart from the ground.
bluebells burst-up,
trees creak,
buds form.
The bicycle.
The bike rests forgotten on the ground,
ignored by all,
never being noticed.
Its handles jut out like a car’s mirror,
being used carelessly.
The broken seat rocking side by side,
being strangled by the verdant green vines.
The deflating wheel slouching on the minty grass,
its weight killing what lies hid underneath it.
The tarnished remains of roads travelled,
laid abandoned and alone.
Kept company by mini beasts
and the glistening magic of cobwebs.
The wheels were dreamcatchers,
stealing bad auras and releasing good.
Rusty chains, the remains
of a soldier’s battle armour.
Stories it could tell
of journeys far and wide,
the only wish that remained
was that someone would return to ride…
…away into the sunset for one last time!
You are the sound of footsteps echoing around the dim hallways of the sinister institute,
You are the sound of trees branches rustling against the stained windows,
You are the sound of a bird making ear bleeding scrape on the door trying to get in.
You are a frozen lake trapping all sea creatures,
melting from the blazing sun,
solidifying many animal-like plants.
You are the glistening moon in my eyes,
stars instead of the sun,
my fading shadow in the spotlight.
You are the new Shake-spear in my books.
You are an Autumn leave waiting to fall ,
and be picked up and taken home ,
for a child’s picture .
You are Christmas
with presents spreading
joy and cheer .
You are a deflated balloon,
Sadly waiting for someone to fill me up again.
.
You are a baby robin that fell out of its nest
into a cloud of snow waiting to be rescued .
You are are a lonely boy
waiting for a new friend.
