Hercules
When the breeze gently touches the leaves on a tree How does that gentle breeze Seem to have the strength of Hercules When a humid gray cloud slowly glides overhead And brings your mind at ease As you are covered with the shield of Hercules

just my reflections......with all my family in the UK, I spent Christmas with a friends family.....reminding me what makes a family tic.......and how past memories are filtered down to the young ones, as a family catch up......

PERSONAL MEMORY TRIGGER....
do we ever give up those special memories that link us with childhood or youth....and with so many ensuring triggers are established in countries around the world miles apart, it's like tributing to a form of home sickness... felt by many who have made another country their home.....

Granny's Bread. (Sestina).
Sestina A complex French verse form, usually unrhymed, consisting of six stanzas of six lines each and a three-line envoy. The end words of the first stanza are repeated in a different order as end words in each of the subsequent five stanzas; the closing envoy contains all six words, two per line, placed in the middle and at the end of the three lines. The patterns of word repetition are as follows, with each number representing the final word of a line, and each row of numbers representing a stanza: 1 2 3 4 5 6 6 1 5 2 4 3 3 6 4 1 2 5 5 3 2 6 1 4 4 5 1 3 6 2 2 4 6 5 3 1 (6 2) (1 4) (5 3) I decided to link the end words as versions of the words for musical notes, or words that sounded like them.

Freeze frame.
It's morning and the street lights are still on. The road is resting it's back while the cars sleep in their driveways. Foot-free footpaths mirror the road. Unlike them, I'm wide awake - but I share in their peace.

An old farmhouse and a fan in the window The sun is just rising and sunlight is falling Onto the kitchen floor Biscuits and gravy are waiting on the table Rolled up sleeves washed hands A life I knew from the cradle amen And the only thing that
I am Not A Poet !!!!!
A realisation that I am not very artistic. Should have made more effort as had plenty of time. So think I probably have lots of talent too but too lazy to make things happen . Guess there is time but I am the same . Lol :) Folks don’t get bored or annoyed . I am just passing time .

This is about the reality that people never really leave you. They always return, either in mind or the master illusion.

There are many things As I look around my apartment That are old, decrepit, dusty and worn I shall hire myself a skip And throw them all into yesterday Where they all belong As relics of the past Myself included
