Swansgate

Through the doors,

O’er tiled floors.

People meet,

From off the street.

To shop and look,

A bargain to hook.

There is no swan,

For it has gone.

Neither a gate,

No fountain of charm at this rate.

In The Library

There’s shelves and shelves,

So get yourselves

out to the library!

Where there’s books and books

to browse in different nooks.

There’s plenty of interest

and you can have a rest.

There’s a story you might find,

To borrow and read while you unwind.

Tips For When You’re Depressed.

Avoid the news,

For it will give you the blues.

Have a talk

and go out for a walk.

Having a dance,

Will also enhance

your mood for a while,

Try to smile.

Paint and draw

and do some more

tasks in your day,

You’ll find a way.

Learn in a class

and this too shall pass.

When you’re depressed,

Don’t worry dear, have a rest,

Remember to weep

as you drift off to sleep.

Playground

It’s roundabouts and swings

and other things.

To keep us distracted for a while,

Try to keep your smile. 🙂

For life is a playground,

Where the lost and found,

All aimlessly play,

Each and everyday.

Responsibility

It’s time to take,

More responsibility.

Do it for your sake

and then you’ll see.

_______________________

You can get things done,

Do it with a smile! 😌

Then you can have fun,

Do it in style!

Half Moon

Up in the cold night sky,

Through the murky window pane.

I dreamed I can fly,

Maybe I’m insane!

____________________

Fly up to the half moon.

Up and up I go,

I’d be up there soon,

If I wasn’t so low.

_____________________

The dark half round,

Can only just be seen.

This high up from the ground,

Because that’s where I’ve been.

_____________________

Half the moon lights up,

It’s a light in the dark.

Half fill a cup

and make your mark.

Shake It Up

The path can be weary

and you may feel teary,

All work and chores,

Tedium and bores.

So come on! Once in a while,

Change your style.

A different route to take,

Do it for your own sake.

————————————-

Sit in another seat,

Hum to a different beat.

Do different things

and your heart sings!

Give your yourself a shake up,

That way you’ll wake up!

Don’t have everything the same

and join in the game.

By Debbie Wood-Holland.🙂

Get Over It. Get On With It!

There comes a time,

You’ll find your rhyme

and get back in the swing,

Do your own thing.

————————————-

It’s time to get over it,

Climb out of your pit.

It’s time to get on with it.

The light is now lit!

Stop the Misery

As from today,

You’re finding a way,

To stop the misery

and be free!

Now and again feel sad,

But not all days are bad.

So keep your spirits up guys ‘n’ gals!

Maybe visit your pals.

New Pens

Bought a new packet

and put it in my jacket.

A packet of pens going cheap,

More writing that I may reap.

Write a bit more,

You know the score.

Keep on scribblin’ dear,

New ink brings good cheer! 😀
