The Cat Witch of St Helens
The Cat Witch of St Helens You’ve heard of serendipity. Well, this is Jessindipity! My name is Jessie, I’ve one eye, But there’s nothing wrong with me. I catch more rats than other cats, With twice as much to see.

Beauty for Ashes
Beauty for Ashes I have walked through the ruins of all I once knew, Through the wreckage of dreams that I thought would come true. I’ve knelt in the dust where my strength came undone, And wondered if beauty could grow where there’s none.

Before There Was a Nest
Before there was a little nest, A place to pause, a place to rest, There was a beam beneath the sky, And one small swallow passing by.

Going Down and Gone
Going Down and Gone The ship set sail and slipped away, Beyond the harbour light, While music filled the ballroom, And dancers blessed the night.

Floating in the Middle
Floating in the Middle The soil is black, the sky is white, The daisies turn towards the light, And in between there’s little me, A butterfly, just floating free.

The Poet’s String Vest
The Poet’s String Vest There once was quite a wicked lad, As cheeky as could be. He sat and wrote his little rhymes, His uke upon his knee.

SEASONS OF THE LAKE
SEASONS OF THE LAKE It’s always a calm place to be =+=+= It seems like only yesterday I sat upon the sand; There were many men in rowboats –

Why Wait?
“Rain never asks the flowers if they’re ready. Growth doesn’t wait for perfect timing.” “LIFE” is relentless in its pursuit to grow.

Above the Mill
Headed west on 40 today, westward and upward, a green ridge of forest on the horizon, wheels careening down the lane, mountain momentum in full force,

Blood Red Lilly
This limerick was inspired by RMS's challenge, which I listed below! Enjoy! 🔴🕷🌹 Hello all, gather around! Allow me to impart knowledge that's not talk of the town. Now what I say might sound silly, But my tale involves the red spider lily. And its truth that's quite profound. 🔴🕷🌹 Called Lycoris radiata by science, but Japanese Hell Flower by others, With chilling tales that made many hide under covers. They appear after a rough hurricane season, But let me tell you a reason To fear its elegant colors. 🔴🕷🌹 Where these love lillies sprout, There isn't any doubt That dark spiritual energy will grow, summoning the undead to the surface. Boiling the Underworld's furnace. As the unholy departed meander about. 🔴🕷🌹 What can be done, you ask? Keeping the undead at bay is an impossible task! Honestly, the best I can recommend, Is to grab some prayer beads and make an amend, For anything that isn't a positive bask. 🔴🕷🌹 Surely, something can be done? Oh dear listener, you'd better be gone, If you see this hellish flower in your back yard Saving your soul isn't too hard. When you pray and run! 🔴🕷🌹

What Is a Jellyfish? What is a jellyfish? A fish, do you say? Does it swim through the ocean and splash as it plays? Well, despite what it's called, it's no fish at all,
