Basket
A vegan list Coffee wakes me up,Cardamom tea,Soothes, my soul!Fresh lemon in water cleanses.Hot chocolate for after supper,Yay, cuppa!Bags of flour, wholemeal, white,Yeast sachets and dried fruit, Oh, my apetite! Bag of salt and peppercorns too, Tins of beans, baked and kidney, Woo hoo!Mushy peas and chopped tomatoes, Dried allspice, and oregano, Oh, what a…

Postures
Morning yoga Inhale, exhale, find your flow, Move with grace, feel your glow. Yoga postures, ancient and wise, Guide us towards a peaceful sunrise.Start with Cat Cow, on all fours, Arch your back, then round once more. Stretch your spine, feel it align, Breathe and move, you’ll feel just fine.Downward Dog, a classic pose, Strong…

Yellow
Wet celandines Oh how I love the yellow flowers That bloom in March’s rainy hours, They brighten up the gloomy days With cheerful hues and sunny rays. Dandelion with fluffy head You make a wish, and then you spread Your seeds across the verdant lawn, And wait for spring to come along. Daffodil with trumpet…

Fountain
Precious water In the beginning, water was life’s source, Flowing, pristine, from the heavens’ force. It nourished the earth, and all it contained, Filling every river, every stream, every plain.From stories, myths and tales of old, Water was worshiped, its power untold. The gods themselves were said to reside, In the seas, lakes, and rivers…

Away
The stars Drowning out the constant droning sound Of distant traffic on this restless night, A nightingale is piercing through the ground With undulating melody so bright.Amongst the young oaks and watery willows A bramble thicket hides its feathered form. Its song transcends the city’s darkened pillows And fills the air with passion and with…

Clean
Dusty rug Spring is here and it’s time to clean The dusty rug that lies unseen. Under the sofa and the chairWhere crumbs and dirt have made their lair.I grab the broom and start to sweep, But soon I hear a muffled peep. I lift the rug and to my shock I find a mouse…

Blue
Duck egg In the beginning, there was only water, And from the water sprang the first life.A bright blue duck egg amongst the rushes,A sacred gift from the Mother of All.The egg was warm and full of potential It held within it the seeds of the world. The sun and moon, the stars and planets,The…
