Anyway, the dogs benefited when i got home.

Dogs well knackered tonight as
They stretch on settee

a golden route for runners
reprieve from the mud

capturing light
cadence in the rhyme
I now know with certainty that i will never make it as an advertising executive as these are all pants!!!! it's really hard ain't it? and just the type of activity to drive a woman a little potty! good fun nevertheless!...will keep trying
have a lovely day all

Today more than yesterday
The things I’d like to do
Today more than yesterday
An ice cream for two
Today more than yesterday
Eyes, skin, eyes
Today more than yesterday
The openness of you
Today more than yesterday
The way you looked at me that way
Today more than yesterday
Leaning into you-you to me
Today more than yesterday
Soft and warm
Today more than yesterday
The all of you
Today more than yesterday
I feel, I love
Today more than yesterday
I adore this poem so much I could weep, in fact I often come close every time I read it...hope you enjoy
Variation on the word sleep
I would like to watch you sleeping,
which may not happen.
I would like to watch you,
sleeping. I would like to sleep
with you, to enter
your sleep as its smooth dark wave
slides over my head
and walk with you through that lucent
wavering forest of bluegreen leaves
with its watery sun & three moons
towards the cave where you must descend,
towards your worst fear
I would like to give you the silver
branch, the small white flower, the one
word that will protect you
from the grief at the center
of your dream, from the grief
at the center. I would like to follow
you up the long stairway
again & become
the boat that would row you back
carefully, a flame
in two cupped hands
to where your body lies
beside me, and you enter
it as easily as breathing in
I would like to be the air
that inhabits you for a moment
only. I would like to be that unnoticed
& that necessary.
-- Margaret Atwood

Life can be a downer sometimes,
For every up, there's two downs,
If only Fell Running was the same.
There's usually more ups than downs, that's why i love it:D
Thanks to a friend for cheering me up tonight, you know who you are:)
Somebody is feeling chipper today. :)Quote:

SLEEP, sleep, beauty bright,
Dreaming in the joys of night;
Sleep, sleep; in thy sleep
Little sorrows sit and weep.
Sweet babe, in thy face
Soft desires I can trace,
Secret joys and secret smiles,
Little pretty infant wiles.
As thy softest limbs I feel
Smiles as of the morning steal
O'er thy cheek, and o'er thy breast
Where thy little heart doth rest.
O the cunning wiles that creep
In thy little heart asleep!
When thy little heart doth wake,
Then the dreadful night shall break.
Lovely choice and perfect for now, in fact it just got him back off to sleep.Quote:
