Hi all.

Encouraged by 2 fab community members to create this new topic. Hope you like.
Thought this could be a nice space to share some of the poems we have written and inspire each other with our creativity. Poems are a way for me to voice whats going on in my head especially when my anxiety has left me feeling somewhat foggy headed.

Hope you enjoy reading and sharing your work.

Thank you, @TallTrees @Cleoriff. I will add another one below 😄. 

The Canal

Even though the bank’s brim bursts,
The barn’s casing rots and rusts,
Children scour home to be first,
The rain must stop, it just must!

Wet soil bubbles into puddles,
Paint pops out of leftover tins,
Birds meet in nests to cuddle,
The rain must stop, it can’t win!

But no matter what, like a boat,
In the rain, the lily pad floats.

That is one I wrote after a run near a canal.

Hi all.

Been offline so doing a bit of a catch up. @lewys-gp I love your poems. Paints a beautiful picture in my head. 

*autumn*

The birds sing in the early dawn

The sound is crystal clear.

Melodies rise and fall

Building to a crescendo.

Simple, elegant 

Yet hauntingly beautiful. 

The call of the day is here.

The air is crisp 

The breeze blows cold.

The tang of autumn in the air. 

The earthy, wholesome scent

Is comfort for the soul.

It echoes of frost, 

Laughter and cosiness. 

Of soup and stews 

And hot chocolate by a flickering fire. 

Soon frost will arrive 

And turn all it touches crystalline.

The brilliance of the sun

Will light up the world 

As rainbows of colour 

Shimmer off spikes of frost.

The trees maybe bare

The hedgerows silent and empty. 

But the coating of ice

Brings its own beauty. 

Sparkling, shimmering glow.

With sunrise the magic begins 

Casting miniature rainbows 

And turning ice into diamonds.

Take in the beauty of autumn, 

The sights, the smells 

The colours. 

Watch as the leaves turn

From emerald green 

To gold, orange and red.

The leaf fall creates a crisp, crisp carpet,

Mountains of colour and texture.

Delight in the change in seasons 

And what it magic the future brings. 

Sending supportive hugs to all the lovely people here in the community 🤗🤗
