Lay down with me let’s explore
each hurdle that we’ve jumped.
Try to remember that it’s okay
to release what sits so heavy.
Instead of dwelling on old scars
now wounds are beauty marks
glued crazy together in fine style.
Interwoven such a stunner,
this leaves you like no other.
Gain momentum to make moves
onto a track that’s a little bit faster.
Here we are in eastern Pembrokeshire
taking a wander round Narberth
a little market town on the A78
it's so lovely, I had to write a little verse
Its High Street has variety around
with Georgian and Edwardian multi colour
buildings of character, they are
echoes of beauty make them a stunner
Lilies coffee shop is a must
so helpful and happy to receive
cakes and light lunch so fab
coffee's marvel, you won't believe
Independent shops abound here
from deli food to fine art
woodland walks and sandy beaches
lie only minutes away to start
This has been a day most excellent
one to remember for many a day
memories are made of such as these
even to the point of wanting to stay
(Just looking back a few weeks ago on holiday in South Wales coast to a lovely town called Narberth.)
Imprinted on that electric summer,
a raw current carried down to my bones.
That trepidation of hearing hail stones,
the dark lights in the sky are a stunner.
Breath I must exhale begins to stir,
creating the very lowest of moans
imprinted on.
Awakened I roar now with the thunder
deluxe collaboration of dark tones.
Unearthly echoing monstrous cyclones
filling me with overwhelming wonder
imprinted on.
Winter has its own magic!
Water pure beauty
Winter has its own delight
White stunner mirror
I'm feeling rather silly today
Not that that's so unusual
But I'm feeling even more silly than usual
Read on and methinks
You'll understand exactly what I mean
Have thoughts of what it would be like
To be a ravishing female
Rather than this hunk of male virility
That I am now
Of course I would be an absolute stunner
With a body to die for
Must stop... I'm getting all squirmy
How about if I became the ruler
Of a large African country and signed into law
That sex is officially permitted
In public places as long as you're wearing
A Lone Ranger mask
Oops! Methinks I may be stepping over the line
Alright, how about becoming a
Standup comedian with my own late night show
Now that's more up my alley
Good thing Leno and Letterman
Decided to call it quits
Guess they knew I was about to take over!
Perhaps I should go lie down a spell
Quaint American bird,
Quality bronze-green plumes,
Quirky 'resplendent' sheen,
Quills of tail extra long,
Quivers when singing sweet,
Quite the dazzling stunner;
Q ueer currency name too.
Firefly in rouge, dusk flames,
Flying in charmed wonder;
Famed since glad childish days
Fast moving, slow blinking,
Fanatic of cream moon.
Fervency of summer,
Fuchsia night green stunner!
This realm is where I shall always belong.
God bless this nation and upkeeps it strong.
For he will thrust his sword and suit his vow.
He wielded his hand to ensure bestow.
July 4th, our land is vastly stunning
We unleash acute bursts and stark burning.
Our coastlines and towns' awe and wonder.
For our advocate chart and plush stunner.
The sky is a gored purplish mantle hue.
Moon gazers will revere this jewel view.
Eyelid star for each candle in the sky.
Wanting to claim the grass with their glazed eye.
Sublimity entwined with prettiness
Hands and hearts clasped at once in happiness.
Throbbing footsteps pulverized out the wave.
Of the flawless world and the spirit crave.

The Real Pheidippides
Athenian messenger Pheidippides
Died 30 years before the birth of Thucydides
Most famous hemerodrome day-runner
Ran a 300-mile ultramarathon stunner
I appreciate the plus hot summer
mostly when rains outside
to release my body due the stunner
So i come out to cool off my mind
Craig
If you can just remember darling
That if I find your dance alarming,
I'll appear to be mean.
I'll be booed on the scene!
Craig Revel Horwood can be charming.
Motsi
I'm Motsi Mabuse. I love this show!
Watching the dances gives me a warm glow.
As yet, no front runner.
Each dance is a stunner!
Anybody can win! Who? I don't know!
Shirley
My role in Strictly is just my scene!
I'm known as " The Latin Queen "
I want to see some sass
With a bit of class.
And I love a romantic theme.
Anton
I'm the new judge, Anton Du Beke.
For you to keep your skills in check,
Just follow the swing
Of the " Ballroom King "
And you'll receive high praise on spec!
Orange megastar of rosy early morning skies,
Richer than all of the others' remote sparkling,
Powerful, charming and extremely charismatic,
Drawing all of nature, and the beautiful people.
Sunset stunner, captivating the adoring press,
Though black space is your permanent address!
A reclusive eccentric superstar, and so creative,
For the summertime is overcrowded with blooms.
And during nights, you lend light to pale moon!
Super rich and possessing the gold Midas touch,
The gazes of red sunflowers are on you all day!
Love's always been the joy of my life
Can't live without it, will take it to my afterlife
Find a sweetie up there
A stunner, my love to share
Maybe Marilyn will greet me and touch my device
A beauty with love
A beauty with obsession
A beauty with life
Lavender flowers
White, pink, purple, mauve also
Perfect bliss in mind
Deciduous vine
Symbolizing obsession
Add colours in our mind
With lightly scented
Bath in strong sunlight
With poisonous seed
True bliss of nature
Perfect ornamentation
A solace of mind
Stunner of nature
Enchanting to heavy eyes
Gift of our nature
Punch to the left, punch to the right,
Hold nothing back, in a boxing match,
Show him no pity, hit him real tight,
One in the tummy, punch to dispatch!
crowds cheering, coach’s swearing,
This is the dream, you worked to win!
radio is blaring, bookies screaming,
Don’t ease your grip, smash his grin!!
His head is bleeding, his eye is black,
Quick on your feet, the bell is gone,
Step to the side, give him no slack,
land him a stunner, you are the Don!
Keep chin up, gloves up to your face,
He is circling around, like King Kong!
Go jump in and punch, four with pace,
He is down, his eyes go ding dong!!
heap on the floor, he takes the count,
You dance around, arms up in the air,
You Ignore pain , with glee dismount,
You are Champ! You won your share!!
