Blue Night
Black, the trees stretch, dazed, Dreaming of moonlit adventure and sweet breezes The moon looks down. Serene. * No nightbirds sing Siren strains Silence fills the air with untold wonder And leaves the night blank * Blue mist embraces the sky Damping emotions, it stills the aching heart My mind bleeds purple thoughts ©HMH, 2023

Little Old Lady
She smiles toothlessly sweet Each day in her favourite seat. Birdlike bones barely keep her grounded; Thin and spare, she enjoys life, though bounded A hat weighs down her age-old tresses. So, she faces life and her guesses, Equipped for spinning her yarns and expresses. * ‘My canary was a wit! Once only, she flew…

October Sky
On a sunny day Bright and breezy Clouds become wisps, Unable to cloud the sky. * Hopeful, We think it will bring warmth. * Not so. This kind of blue is Icy Withering Chilling us to the bones * It makes us dream, Though spring won’t Come For a command Begging doesn’t help. * Wrap…

Woolly Tale
Softest warmth and cosy comfort Fluffy, hirsute, light as dusters Fills the distaff during hours, Lived and lost but won for welfare. Warp and weft bring amplest texture. Surely gained through timely tenure Fixed to loom with bright inflexion, Wear and tear give sweet protection. * Lambs must offer their safe haven, Bleating sorrowful, disclosed…

Moonlit Night
White, furry friendsTheir eyes enigmatic,Blue and yellow mysteriesFull of spunk andSpectacular senses * Moaning and singing Under the full moon Keeping me awake * Their feline bodies Dance Twisting around one another As they screech their lust Into the night © HMH, 2023

An unknown face An unknown voice And yet, it evokes Half-forgotten eras. * Centuries pass Creations collapse And resurface, Wither away And rise from ashes That glitter like jewels. * Who is this ghost? A lover or an angel? An echo of A long-lost…

Serene Tree
` Yet another tree – the last of my sketches with poems. Pinetree on the coast The vacant sea Silent Waiting Waiting For a breeze For a sign of life A pinecone drops And silence returns * © HMH, 2023

Blossoming Tree
Here is the second tree from the sketches with attached poems. The poem is obscure, to say the least, but I allowed myself to edit it slightly. Crayons on Paper ` Close by A tree, lost in thought, Longing for Spring. Its dreams Manifest In birds, flowers, and people Dreaming of Commitment ` © HMH,…

Cork on the Water
* I will be OK. * I’ll pop up like a cork on the water. Try it Press me down, No matter how long,And see. * I will be back. * Unhurt? No way Humiliated? Perhaps But I will be back, Floating, and Moving along * ©HMH, 2023

Solitary Tree
A few weeks ago, I found three tree sketches with attached poems. I’m not sure when I made them but thought I’d share them here. Crayons on Paper * Solitary but serene The tree fills its space with strong branches Grounded and healthy Only a little moss on the north side As it contemplates the…
