Tuesday Poem - Birds and Bees

The birds and the bees

You know what I mean

A little bit of duvet diving

With that special someone

It’s such a curious phrase

Cos birds don’t do bees

As far as I know

And bees just make honey

So…

You be the bird and I’ll be the bee

We’ll zip around the living room in harmony

I’ll flap a bit and you mind the stinger

Before we know it

One of us will be nesting

The other one always jesting

‘Bout those tricksy little birds and bees

Tuesday poem - Love Is...

Taken from Little Book of Love, #6 in the Little Book Series

Love Is…

Being tired all the time
Cold feet under old duvets, entwined
Cups of tea made and forgotten
Leftovers wrapped up in the fridge
Whatsapp half messages and appointments on calendars
Worn out birthday cards
Forgotten plans for date nights
Discarded under laundry and odd socks
Comfortable silences
Lumped on the sofa
Watching re-runs of favourite shows

Sticky fingers and runny noses
Early mornings and disruptive nights
Want, want, want
Take, take, take
Crying and complaining and moaning and whinging
Soft, tired huggles and sofa snuggles
Vomit and poop and skinned knees
Trips out, days out, packed lunches
Going warm in the sun
Worry and stress and panic and doubt
Trying to be organised and have fun
