Premium Member Sally Doolally

This is the story of Sally Doolally
A young maiden farmer from down in the valley
She kept a keen eye out for Thomas McNally
And dreamed of the day he would say, ‘Can we marry?’

Sally Doolally had once caught his eye
When the hat that she wore was a stale apple pie
She couldn’t find flowers to wear in her hair
So she pinned a half eaten carrot in there

Her lipstick was not anywhere to be found
So she mashed up some beetroot and smeared it around
Because her best dress was still hung on the line
She wore an old curtain she’d coloured with wine

Her shoes were worn out so she put on her feet
Two old cardboard boxes to walk down the street
She had no gold ring like girls wear in their nose
Her bulls all had rings so she wore one of those

She headed for town at a bit of a jog
Attached to her waist by a rope was her dog
In one hand she carried a frog in a jar
And held in her teeth was a massive cigar

She met an old friend and she told her it rankles
That grandma’s old bloomers were draped round her ankles
She took them while grandma was making a trifle
And ‘LOOK!’ she hoped Thomas would like grandpa’s rifle

The old friend said, ‘Thomas is mad about rabbits,’
So Sally could maybe exhibit their habits
Her friend told her Thomas was down at the shops
So Sally rushed off doing mad bunny hops

She saw him and gave him a good humoured wink
But did they get married… well what do you think?
Turns out McNally was doolally too
And so when invited they both said, ‘I do.’

Robin's Inkwell Mysteries: The Case of the Silver Linings

The wealthy Sterling family
was completely devastated 
when their beloved butler,
Arthur, suddenly vanished.

Arthur had served them with
flawless devotion, warmth,
and unmatched grace for
over three decades.

Lord Reginald and Lady
Eleanor immediately 
gathered the entire
household staff in the grand 
library.

Detective Richard Vance was
called to the mansion to
investigate the mysterious,
sudden disappearance.

Vance began by searching 
Arthur's meticulous quarters,
looking for any hidden clues
or notes.

inside a leather- bound
ledger, Vance found a 
frantic, handwritten note
detailing a dark secret.

Arthur discovered that Clara
the maid and Thomas the 
gardener were secretly
stealing luxury silverware.

The brilliant butler noticed 
the sterling silver forks and 
golden platters vanishing 
week by week.

When Arthur confronted the
thieving duo in the 
greenhouse, they panicked
and took him hostage.

Clara and Thomas bound and
gagged the loyal butler,
locking him deep inside the 
dark root cellar.

Vance noticed Clara's hands
trembling violently as she
served tea during the tense
interrogation.

The detective also spotted
fresh, deep mud tracking
from the greenhouse directly 
into the main house.

Thomas claimed he was busy 
trimming the hedges all
morning, but his boots were
completely dry.

Vance swiftly led the worried 
Sterling family down into the 
damp, shadowy depths of
the cellar.

With a heavy iron key found
in Clara's apron pocket,
Vance unlocked the rusted
cellar door.

There lay Arthur, bound to a
wooden chair but thankfully 
completely unharmed and
safe.

Beside him sat three massive 
canvas sacks overflowing 
with the family's missing 
luxury silverware.

Clara and Thomas fell to their
knees, weeping and
confessing to the entire
greedy scheme.

Lord Reginald immediately 
called the authorities, while
Lady Eleanor wept tears of 
pure relief.

The beloved butler was safely saved, and the family 
threw a grand feast in his honor.

Premium Member Storms

The bitter biting wind howls around my face
I’m out on the moors: such a desolate place
Dark clouds are gathering straight ahead
Wish I was at home safe in my bed

Streaks of golden lightning fill up the sky
Vivid flashes of white flash in my eye
Thunder claps deafen me, I cover my ears
Not been in a storm like this for many many years

Lightning forks fill me with fascination
I wait for the next one with great anticipation
Lighting up the sky like a massive floodlight
Thunder and lightning such a pure delight

I shelter safely by the gnarled oak tree
Its wizened old branches shielding me
Rain teems down but I am safe and dry
I shelter safely until the storm passes by

Premium Member Physics of the Moon

Physics of the moon
 
I feel the lunar ecstasy in your heart
Connecting our vibes from over 1500 miles apart
 
With every swing of my mood ring, my sensational heart will sing
An out of this world phenomenon tune, "you are my everything!"
 
Absorbing every phase the moon goes threw
Sending energy between me and you
 
When our eyes meet on the darkest side of the moon
Your body mass rotates like a cyclone hitting my land like a typhoon
 
Like the gravity that bonds the earth and moon together
Our souls will collide with a massive force of forever
 
The image of you appears at all times like a moon cycle
Like a cascade running all around my mind, like a halo circle
 
Our love and vision orbits through every star
Giving us light no matter how near or far
 
The stars throb around the moon like a secret signal in the night
While you inhale my energy that exceeds into the morning light
 
Like a rainbow that enters and vanishes into the twilight of our sky
Our first kiss under the moon beam will twist our tongues into a tie
 
A sweet magnetic shadow will remain under the half moon
Sweeping our love above the clouds to float like a balloon
 
Holding a reflection with the moon's tide
Our journey continued, side by side
 
Emerging our love to find its way soon
Like a love mirage with the physics of the moon

Beautiful Benjamin

Beautiful Benjamin 

And what happens after we die?
My hope, we need acceptance into the spirit realm. 
The love we have in our soul and the love we receive 
from the spirits will allow us to travel and discover 
all the answers to our questions. 
I'm not sure this is going to be a massive 
power rush or a weak spirit fade.
I don't see it as heaven or hell but 
the evil some people are guilty of 
will diminish thier soul to the point of outcast. 
The outcast has a different journey.
One rich in love will have a pleasant journey.
Why do people crave love so much?
We feel crushed and broken without it.
Love in the heart builds love in the soul brings 
love to the spirit and holistic self. 
A sence of worth and pride bring value 
to everyone you meet.
Character and caring will be you presence 
in here and now.
What do you think?
I think that's beautiful.

Premium Member The Weight of Time

(“Depth Psychology Merit Badge aka The Myth of Being”,  2015, original oil)

The Weight of Time

Experiences fall like snow flakes
Full and soft, floating down to settle gently 
Building up in layers, forming drifts
And, with the weight of time,
Ice in glaciers and massive shields 
That smother the ground
And eventually work their way to the sea
To form blocks of experience 
That then float away. 

Sunlight illuminates their inner being
Releasing memories all packed together
In sights and sounds, smells and feelings
Faces and words, thoughts and dreams
Hidden beneath a surface
In unfathomable depths
Each bonded with other moments
Supporting and sustaining
the notion of a whole
Greater than the parts.

Each of us exist like this
Bergs of distinct memory and identity 
Adrift and at ease
Subject to the flow of tides and currents 
Beyond our control or comprehension 
Subject of the ever falling snow
Full and soft, floating down to settle gently
In layer upon layer
Condensing into something more
Under the weight of time.

Premium Member The Gathering of the Jackdaws

Twice a day, the jackdaws gather in their thousands, in that same old tree 
It is as if they only gather for a good old group meet and a bit of repartee

Standing in the garden you see them flying in their groups from overhead
As in their thousands and all the late comers who have just got out of bed

The last ones in make me laugh, squawking as if to so say don't forget me
Then silence descends, just what is going on within there I just cannot see

It's as inside that tree the chief Jackdaws have a gathering of all the clans
Discussing all the local farmers, then talk about the rest of the day’s plans

Then no more than an hour you will get to see them all flying off in groups
Then it’s all over “till dusk when again they are all back in massive swoops

I really admire their kith and kinship; it's far greater than ours can ever be
But it never stops me wondering just what the ‘eck is going on in that tree

This Dusk

This Dusk ***

Night begins tipping its massive 
Glance into my window, 
Its wispy bangs protecting early 
Sight of the  diamond highlight 
Topping its black pupil, which also 
Carries a dimmed reflection of me, 
Seeking its lovely solace; 
A picturing of the hymns to which I listen...
Comforting
Night comes with its still 
Surrounding arms, hugging like 
No human will, for long patient 
Hours, without any other deeds to call it away; 
Extending stars’ shine to kiss my cheeks and 
Preface dreams to stroll  the soon sleeping hours —
A budding in sub-conscious mystery and 
The magical, as yet untraveled, galaxies 
That embrace my wonder —
So blessed and nurtured
...Comes 
The moon,
Even beyond clouds,
To witness prayers.

Premium Member An Angel Dried My Tears

Today I wept so profusely as if 
A voluminous river bursting 
Had bored a hole through the 
Back of my head and the dam
Let go. A fountain of salty wet
Tears from anguish, pain, loss 
And I do believe emotional 
Turmoil.   My clothes were soaked,
Tissues, towels nothing could soak
The salty wetness up .  Was I to drowned
From my own bodily fluids?  I had 
No one to drive me to the emergency 
Room.  I called 911.   Than I lowered
Myself and prayed a silent prayer to please 
Help me. I felt a rush of wind. As if a large
Something had flown very close to me. 
Suddenly a set of strong arms embraced me
And every ill and negative emotion that was
Triggering this mind blowing madness was 
Cast away.  He was beautiful. Golden locks
Of Curley hair, long white gown and the most 
Beautiful wings.  He was massive. At least 
Seven feet tall. A giant icon of celestial 
Proportionas.  And he saved me.  A warrior of 
Eternal Light sent from above unselfish 
Gallant and all knowing.
