The games of ghosts and scares of the night Are never the ones I wanted to see. The howls of the wolves Or the cooing of the owls The stories in the dark With my sister holding the light Are haunted house visions that give me a fright.   The haunting music that signals a scare And the scary stories at bedtime were never my thing. My sister, however, was much braver than me Eagerly waiting for those shows on TV. She’d keep me up at all hours of the night, Enjoying my squirming, and always sudden flight.   Secretly though, I would happily give My big sister’s longing for moral support. She was always the happiest the scarier the tale. Yet with every review, I would find a way to bail. The haunted houses and stories are just not my thing But I love my big sister, so I stayed with my eyes closed – listening!   27/10/2021   Please share your thoughts, comments, emojis with me!

Sometimes it’s hard to decide What treat it’s safe to eat. The chocolates And cheesecake slices Ice cream delights And biscuits Are ready and waiting for me. Yet, I pause a lot Because the calories I’m counting And gratification comes at a cost. Will my diet go haywire Will my discipline be derailed I’m still thinking what choice I will make.   However, in my mind I know it will be A frozen yogurt Of any flavor  I will choose. After the first bite And that delicious creamy taste It is the obvious decision on my plate. I don’t ever feel guilty Because with this treat My cravings are satisfied to the max. It’s the afterglow I get When my urges are met Thus, I’m sated, and elated Without wrath.   18/10/2021   Please share your thoughts, comments, emojis with me!

  Autumn will take me to another place  Not w here I am But where I wish to see again. There is no autumn in the Caribbean But we have some days that remind me of That other place.   The Caribbean breezes And the warm beach on an evening The orange and yellow sky On a morning, sometimes Remind me of that autumn place I hope to see again.   Before my memory fades And I forget all I wish to remember I want to feel that wisp  of a chill That heralds a new season is close. The days I love them most With colors  to be adored – like me I miss that autumn place.     13/10/2021   Please share your thoughts, comments, emojis with me!

  I am at peace with my past, though it still trips up my present now. The things that push me forward, disturb my inner joy. What lies beneath the surface, is hidden from all view The peace that I enquire on, daily gets to be renewed.   Peace does not run before me, nor do I leave it behind The way that life unfolds for me, is different and always kind. As I think about the hope I feel, and the future not far away. Peace knocks my heart’s door, and I let it in My peace is here to stay.   01/10/2021   Please share your thoughts, comments, emojis with me!
