#ASMSG What's going on with your hat today?

What’s going on with your hat today?

Taken from the book of poems

‘Simply Magical’

Is there quietness?

Stillness?

Or busy bees?

Whichever way you look at it today

There is something happening far away

The butterflies flying this way and that way

Dancing in happiness on this summer’s day

The flowers in bloom have chased the gloom

Picnics in the parks, oh what larks

The riders on their bikes in the park

Chatting and laughing

On this summer’s day

Winter has gone far, far away

They hay is being reaped, all hands gathering

The children playing amongst the daisies

Princesses with their tiara chains

Parasols shading from the heat of the day

The sun is at its highest and hottest

Walking serenely through the sweet, sweet lavender

Meadow

Cornflowers, sunflowers

The sky rich and blue

Cloudless especially for you

#ASMSG #KKST THE FREEZING WINTER part four

THE FREEZING WINTER

This place so battered and forlorn

The battles won and lost

At much cost

This world now abandoned

Forsaken

Deserted

By the people of the land

Scattered across the spanses

Was all that mattered!

Still does matter

They have lost their homes

Their lands far and wide

The mass destruction

Of the terrorists that roamed

And pillaged

Their dejection

On the face of the young warrior

He stands at the ready

Sword in his hand

Raven flying, flying above

Watching, watching

With eyes finely honed

Never daring to take his eyes of his friend

But watching around

For dangers, perils that might come to sight

His friend knows

He will let him know

The warriors guardian, protector

Right by his side

Ears pitched

Eyes slanting

Eyes so red, red

Bloodshot

Inflamed

Fuelled

His emotions showing

Glowing

There will be no one get past him

He will endeavour

He will labour

Belabour

All who try to get past his friend and companion

They travel along this treacherous

Road side by side

Now and forever

#ASMSG #KKST THE FINAL FRONTIER? part three

THE FINAL FRONTIER?

Is this end of their battles?

Or the beginning

Here they both stand and look

The man wondering, pondering

Was it all worth it?

Can this be the end?

This precipice below

Dark, dark

Their road and path that has been walked upon

Fought upon

Struggled upon

Battled upon

The attacks

The confrontations, the challenges

The opposition opposing

Never letting his guard down

Ready and waiting

The rook on his shoulder

Eyeing the territory before them

His eyes honed toned

To perfection

The warrior’s eyes

Constantly on the lookout

The white wolf

The warriors constant

Guardian

Loyal

True

Looking down into the precipice

Where his master

His alpha male

Won so many arduous battles

But here is still standing

Strong and firm

Solid

With his reinforcements in the background

Ready and waiting

Man and beast together as one

#ASMSG #KKST BATTLES TO BE WON OR LOST part two

BATTLES TO BE WON

OR LOST

So many battles right on this land

This cold, cold terrain

Jagged mountains

Ragged

Tattered

And torn

Rough

Crude

Raw

Icy cold winds

Howling around every crevice

Every corner

Shaft

Cranny

Harshest of conditions

For any man or beast

But here at least

Man and beast

Come together

In their own causes

The Raven

His magical, mystical senses

Sensing there is an auspicious time ahead

Not to be afraid to move forward

Move with power and strength

Yet know when to stop and take stock

Of all the limitations ahead

Think before taking another stop

WOLF

His eyes staring

Glaring

What is before them!!!

Ears honed

Tuned

Sharpened

Listening

Pointed to their limits

His eyes

Eyeing the way ahead

The hazards

The dangers

The threats

His master is facing

He will not let his master

Fall prey to the enemy

He will guard

He will protect

He will stand his ground

Stand firm

Stand solid

Right by his masters side

Shielding

Be his shield

In the face of the foe

His destiny

His fate

Come what may

He is his master’s friend

Companion

Confidante

To their days ends

#ASMSG #KKST ON A MISSION part one

ON A MISSION

A mission that needs movement

A mission to be fought with might

A fight to the end

Warriors bend

Every corner taken

Every corner travelling

Every corner never knowing

If the truth unbends

If the lies are well hidden

In the slippery bends

They must travel this road with its bends

Fighting the cause to the ends

Warriors

Fighters

Guardians

Fighting against the darkness

The gloom

And doom

They must travel

Near and far

Never wondering

Never questioning

Never pondering

Just go into the fight

With might

Power

With all the forces

Valor

Weapons at the ready

Warding off the predators

From the darkness

Chasing them to the end

Out into the light

This they can depend

The raven

Bringing enlightenment

Truth and justice

The wolf

The warrior’s guardian

Protector

Ears pricked and pointed backwards

A warning

Snarling his teeth

As a warning

Come any closer to my prince

Of the light

I will defend

He can depend

So they travel around the bends

Ever alert

Watchful

Prepared

At the ready

#ASMSG These Eyes You See

THESE EYES YOU SEE

Looking straight back at you

Green

Glassy

Gleaming

Glossy

Lustrous

But

Not green of envy

Emerald

Sharp

Piercing

Focused

Concentrated

Right on you

Right this second

Whilst you are reading this

Poem

Hypnotizing

Spellbinding

Captivating

With just one

Glance

Maybe you want to move your

Eyes away

Stray

From side to side

But these eyes of mine

Will keep you coming back

For more

And more

A shadowy silhouette

Contours of my face

Illuminated

From the light below

Eyes

At the ready

To fly at you

With a flight of feathers

Gleaming

Luminous

Hues

Fantasy

Fiction

Or is this just a dream?

A mental image

In your mind

#ASMSG An Extract from 'THE WISHING WELL'

Deep within the countryside where fields are a plenty. The fields are being ploughed in readiness for planting crops, corn, wheat, vegetables and sugar beet. With their heads bowed down the shires plough on pulling the heavy steel digger, turning the ground over and over. Their handler steering them into a straight line from top to bottom of the field and then back down again, their toils are endless until the day’s work is over. They work from dawn to dusk, but at their day’s end there is the chance to be unharnessed and run wild in the nearby field, free to rest, sleep, eat and be groomed.

At the bottom of this field runs a brook, gently flowing, rippling over the pebbles that lay beneath the surface and in amongst the reeds, lilies on the brooks banks, if you look very quietly, silently there can be seen smallish fish like the stickleback, carp that thrive in the rivers stream. There is a flicker of life the insects coming to life from their winter’s hibernation. Time is time to feed and grow; soon it will be time for the dragonflies, the butterflies, coming out of the cocoons a myriad of colours will adorn the countryside once again, If only for a fleeting moment during the summer months. The swans are making their nests on the rivers grassy plains, just a short distance from the stream; the ducks are now making their familiar noises quack quacking to each other. Is this their way of greeting each other?
