(1) Beach Scene

Billowy snowy foam
Rushing in to entrance
Our feet
We dancing wind blowing
Tangling our hair
Laughing and singing
To the tides happy tune

(2) In A Wood

Sitting on fallen log
Covered in hungry moss
And a few huge fungi
Dappled sunlight playing
Across your hair
Slightly beckoning glint
In your eye
What was to follow?

(3) Proud Moment

Our first set of wheels
Red with bright chrome
Frogeye headlights
Stripe of hope down each side
Me smiling behind wheel
Hoping
It doesn’t break down
Again
    
(4) Home

Small but brightly painted
And well built
Yellow windows offer some jollity
Red door
Glares at passers by
You standing on the step
Waving vibrant happy
Hair caressed by wind
Covering your eyes

(5) Christmas

Everyone’s here
Brother’s sisters mum dad
Tree bright with lights
And tinsel
Almost falling over
With the joyous weight
Most are bloated with the
Fabulous lunch
Some are now gone

(6) Visiting

It’s a lovely home
Hugging treasured children
Large garden where
Dog’s can play
Lawn like a football turf
You and me enjoying
A glass of red wine
Sitting arm in arm
By the barbecue
Smiling widely
Happy


The photo album is only half full
Plenty more pages for tomorrow's memories
You sleeping softly
I hold your hand
Put out the light
And drift off
Dreaming

Jon; This is so cleverly done! I feel like I just sat and looked at your family album. you made each photo so clear and alive. ellie

Summers haunting melody
that awakens
the butterflies,
calling them to join
the dance
in their silent song
of praise to God.

Oh, Jon~
I greatly enjoyed flipping through
your Rolodex of memories.
Very clever, my friend.

Jon,
  What a beautiful collection of these delightful vignettes. Each encompass a sphere of its own showing your versatility and creativity! Well Done!

Really wonderful work Jon, truly. Each section saying a such a lot. Round about Christmas I had to stop for a moment or two as the tears welled up... I could relate to ALL of these though, the sensitivity and power of the descriptions using simple words... and i'm a bit stuck for words to say just how much i liked this... fantastic work!
