Life Cycle: Summer

Along came the forties
In a Summer so bright
Some say the naughties
Everything seems so right.

Life Cycle: Spring


Into Spring we bound
New lambs bleating
Listen to their sound
Rains stop sleeting
From teens to thirties with a whoop
All around we group.

Life Cycle: Winter

Winter cold we are born
One of strife
To this we are sworn
This, the cycle of life

Life Cycle

Winter cold we are born
One of strife
To this we are sworn
This, the cycle of life

Into Spring we bound
New lambs bleating
Listen to their sound
Rains stop sleeting
From teens to thirties with a whoop
All around we group. 

Along came the forties
In a Summer so bright
Some say the naughties
Everything seems so right. 

Into Autumn
Life is a dash
This we tell them
Passes in a flash. 

Back into Winter
A peaceful sigh
Dirty and black like sinter
Life passes by
We close our eyes
Each of us we die.

Red Wine Enjoyed

Red Wine was the first of Robert’s poems that inspired me to create a piece of art from poetry.  The image may not be the obvious one, but was inspired by these lines..

“You mature in fine design
Become full bodied in time
Oh to open you like a flower….”

Red Wine


You mature in fine design

Become full bodied in time

Oh to open you like a flower

To drink you, savour

Place my lips on thine

Your body now mine

Take my fill, taste you

Sip on you, enjoy you

I fear you will be at your best

Now I am put to rest
