Tuesday Poem - Dwindling Light

 It’s getting dark now Mummy

The sun has gone to bed early

The birds aren’t singing anymore

And the clouds are grim and scary

 

It’s getting cold now Mummy

I don’t want to wear shorts anymore

I need a new rain jacket and wellies

Else there will be puddles on the floor

 

It’s very windy out there Mummy

It’s whipping all the leaves and trees

It doesn’t seem to have a problem

Blowing through me with ease

 

It’s so very rainy now Mummy

Drizzly and damp all day long

The comes the regular deluge

Like it was summoned by a song

 

The trees look so very bare now Mummy

They lost all their leaves

Do you think they need a hat or scarf

I don’t want them to freeze

 

It’s getting dark now Mummy

In the morning and before the night

I want an extra cuddle please

I want to hug you extra tight

Tuesday poem - Evergreen

You are evergreen in my thoughts
I miss you
This time of year, the holes in family appear
Somehow the heat of summer
The growth of spring
And the fading warmth of autumn
Hold back the memories
But now
In winter
I miss you
Timeless you exist
Never changing
Frozen in happy memories
Of times gone by
Of hugs and love and smiling events
Evergreen you remain
Same smile
Same face
Same smell
Same powerful loss
That will always be constant
Like the pines that keep their leaves
I keep my sorrow at your passing

This poem is from Little Book of Winter, #5 in the Little Book poetry series.
