Three completely different poems one thoughtful, the second light humour and the third sad.

Old Father Time

Ask me a question for I will not lie

I know everything, he said with a sigh

Why water is wet and continually flows

That’s an easy question if your in the know

Why winds move around and never stand still

I’ll tell you reason if you’ve time to kill

And what of the day that turns into night

For I can tell you just where goes the light

But alas you’ve no moments to take this repast

But my offer still stands for the answers are cast

So ask me a question and I will not lie

For I know all things and that’s why I sigh

As I watch the same mistakes….

A Pixie Party

The pixies in my garden are really having fun
Dancing under toadstools
to shelter from the sun
Splashing in the dewdrops
as they bang against the leaves
And singing out to butterflies
that hide within the trees
Then jumping onto petals
to wallow in their glow
So happy in their playing
that no one else can know
The joys that are a pixie

Silent Suicide

He drifts along as if he does not care

But whose to say what goes on in there

He smiles and jokes for all the day

While all the time his minds astray

How would we know ?

How could we tell ?

Within his soul all’s not too well

Until the joy of him is gone away

To rest in Angels arms
