 Treasure

“We salute you Gentle Rousseau you can hear us,

Through the noise of modern day styles,

Set to canvas enduring,

We meditate beside your palette of colours and textures,

Bearing in mind,

That greatness is recognised in your passing,

Leaving behind for us treasure

The Wonder Of A Smile

A smile can be healer

Better than a laugh

A smile can come easy

Only if you let 


Meeting a stranger with 

A greeting

A smile can surely help

If given happily


Heal the world

Smile today

Just one smile

Is all it takes.

 Quadrille String

You plucked the strings of my heart

Carrying a tune like apples in a cart

Ruddy and fragrant and appetizing

Ours was a melody oh so enticing

Days meandered into weeks without dread

Time took its own path on a journey

so well tread

I wish upon a star,

My angels travel far.

I hear the moon is beautiful;

And sometimes wish i could,

See a closer view,

As only a zoom lens knew,

The beauty of sky land.

I wish upon a star,

My angels travel far.

A SCARE FOR THE CROWS

Aren't you scared 

Afraid maybe

But scared i'm not


Whose afraid of 

Unworthy crows

Dont be a scaredy cat


Well then lets face this 

Scarecrow come alive

Scaremonger 


Scaring is the pasttime

Of

The unafraid 


Lets scare the living daylights

Out of those crows.

A STUNNING TIMEJingle jangle bells of  merriment A faint memory of last year appears To add it place in today's firmamentThe season nears for reindeer flightsFancy the toys to every apartmentIn an edifice absent of chimneyWith kids, their eyes wide of wonderment.A STUNNING TIME © gillena cox 2022
