What is your favorite drink? Black CoffeeDark as midnight, bold and strong,A bitter kiss, a waking song.Steam that rises, whispers deep,A secret warmth the soul can keep.No sugar’s mask, no milk to hide,Just truth within each sip inside.Earthy echoes, roasted bright,A morning ritual, pure delight.It fuels the dreamer, stirs the mind,In simple depths, a world …

Nature’s unpretending – a poem.
The sun dips low, a fiery kiss, On rooftops, trees, and fields of green. The wind whispers secrets, soft and low, Through leaves that dance in golden sheen. - A robin sings an unpretending tune, As shadows stretch and day grows dim. A firefly blinks at a silent moon, A gentle lullaby, a calming hymn. …

Gaza Weeps
I don't wish to take sides, this poem could be called Israel Weeps, but I believe there has been more grief and weeping in Gaza and the West Bank than in Israel. There have been over 47,000 Palestinians killed in this conflict against less than 3,000 Israelis, and so it's Gaza weeps. A controversial poem …
Ode to Lemon Drizzle Cake
Oh, lemon drizzle, sunshine’s twin, A citrus cloud, where joy begins. A sponge so light, it almost floats, A tangy zest, that tickles throats.

Pilgrimage: A Sacred Journey Along the South Downs Way
The chalk cliffs gleam, a spectral white, Where pilgrims whisper, day and night. A traveler's path, the South Downs Way, A hundred miles, of chalk and clay. From Seven Sisters, grand and bold, To Winchester, a town of old. . In every step, the weary soul, Finds solace, to make the spirit whole. Through grasses …
