Stay Task Orientated

How do you stay resilient in hard times?

OK you can’t do everything at once,

Bombarded with challenges you feel a dunce,

There is only one thing to do ,

That’s write a list and say “phew”

Look at each thing and don’t panic,

Don’t worry you’re not a passenger on the Titanic,

There’s lots of people just like you,

Give yourself a day off in lieu.

Attention

What is the One Thing you can’t live without.

I watch Celebrities on the telly,

My knees begin to feel like jelly,

Into the kitchen I go to make a cup of tea,

Perhaps it will make me watch their performance with glee,

Laugh at their efforts to amuse,

When in reality I just want a snooze,

The tea will wake me up I’m sure,

Of boredom it will be my cure,

Why do they need all this attention?

To interest the licence payer is their intention ,

Without the figures they won’t return,

Perhaps their career is on the downturn,

Still I can relax in my chair and pet the cat,

That’s where my attention is really at.

Ice Cream Trauma

What’s a small moment from your past that you still think about years later?

Children can be annoying, stubborn and persistent,

Their parents patience pushed passed the point of resistance,

One such moment I won’t forget,

Yes I still think of it yet,

We were on a car journey going somewhere,

I think I kept asking “when will we get there?”,

We stopped and decided on an ice cream break,

I was too young to say “Oh for Heaven’s sake”,

But I may have mumbled I wanted a flake,

This tipped my mum over the top,

She screamed at me and said “Don’t you ever stop!”,

The cone and ice cream were pushed on my nose,

My sisters and brothers fell in laughter throes,

I didn’t really understand,

But licked the ice-cream off my hand,

Took the cone off my face,

And actually showed amazing grace.

Namaste and Thank You for Reading.🙏

Knowing what isn’t success.

How do you define success in life?

Success in life is knowing what false success is,

It’s not how much you earn or if you are a success in business,

At the end of the day life is a giant task,

Some only get by when they know someone to ask,

Others have talents we look at in awe,

Others think that all they have to do is jaw,

Being yourself and doing what you can,

I think that is success and part of the plan.

#AIPoetryPrompt It concerns square wombat poo.

What’s a completely useless fact that you love sharing?

It has to be the one about square wombat poo,

I laughed when they even fact checked it too,

It was quite a surprising way to act,

To call me a liar seemed to lack tact,

Anyway even Wikepedia said it was true,

It’s really something that Wombat’s do.

Namaste and Thank You for Reading.🙏

Dracula

What’s a book or movie that genuinely scared you?

To read Dracula , is to feel his touch and his smell,

The iron strength of his hand and his deal with hell,

The other characters they have to figure Dracula’s next move,

Lucy and Arthur never stood a chance,

Dracula wanted Lucy at first glance,

Her friend Mina totally unaware,

What her Jonathon had experienced in Dracula’s lair,

Van Hesling enters a good friend ,

Without him the story wouldn’t have a good end,

The touch, the feel the atmosphere,

It’s a book that establishes real fear,

The characters have to fight and stay one step ahead,

Not easy when you’re dealing with the undead.

Ghostly hands grip iron bars amid swirling crimson shadows and moonlit mist

#AIPoetryPrompt No rules, no cost restraints

If you had a free round trip ticket to anywhere , where would you go?

A free round trip ticket to anywhere,

I guess I’d only know when I got there,

What’s not to like?

Perhaps it would be the ultimate hike,

No rules no cost restraints,

The freedom would give me heady faints,

So perhaps health insurance would be necessary,

As to be ill while traveling would be scary,

Still let’s not think of things that could go wrong,

I’d really like to see Ha Long,

It’s not because it’s on a list,

But because Vietnam has the most beautiful mist.

Namaste and Thank You for Reading.🙏

Best put it back in the crypt.

What are your thoughts on Cryptocurrency?

To make it real I don’t think it’s paid up,

Money needs something to back it up,

You can say it’s worth billions,

Or perhaps even trillions,

However if you can’t exchange it for gold,

Well then your enterprise you may as well fold,

No one will take you seriously,

If you offer to buy with Cryptocurrency,

That bacon sandwich with a lea perrins dash,

You can only buy if if you have the cash,

Perhaps they sold it to you as an investment,

And now the password is pure chastisement,

Yes perhaps on paper you’re a Millionaire,

But without knowing the passkey you’ll have to despair,

What was the special character?

I never thought it would ever matter,

My computer has locked me out,

And now in reality I’m worth nout.

Groceries, cash, and a finance app come together in a practical household budgeting scene.

Sentimental Attachment

What’s the one thing you own that holds deep sentimental value?

There are many things for me to be attached,

The shell from the first chick I ever hatched,

The rose petal that fell on the ground at my feet,

I entombed it in glass and made a paper weight,

My old school book signed by a friend,

I’ll keep that until the very end,

The teddy bear who took care of me,

When I had to have my appendectomy,

Those locks of hair that fell from my lover,

I kept them save so he won’t discover,

Perhaps I’m sentimental or just care ,

So don’t touch my things or you better beware.

Open vintage suitcase filled with letters, teddy bear, seashells, and dried flowers

The Motorway

What was the worst travel experience you’ve ever had?

It seemed so simple a trip to the beach,

But nowadays it seems enjoyment is out of reach,

I checked Google Maps it was all clear,

I suppose the tanker hadn’t planned to rear,

Must have happened in seconds and made a terrible mess,

Beer everywhere and everyone in high viz vests,

Thankfully no one hurt and the clear up started,

Those at the front of the queue were not

down-hearted,

I must have left just soon after the skid,

So at the back of the queue I was amid,

For hours we moved along like a snail,

Then you wouldn’t believe it but it began to hail,

The rain added to our gloom,

Increasingly we accepted our doom,

“Come off at the next exit,”

“This is about much fun as Brexit,”

” Perhaps we’ll forget the Beach for today,”

“We’ll have to go another day.”

Namaste and Thank You for Reading.🙏
