Fog

I don't believe it, thick fog and motorists don't put their lights on; and overtake when they can't see ahead.

They need to be more careful, or may wind up dead.

If I can't see ahead, nor can they,

but it won't be them that pay.

No! It will be the good motorists who do the right thing that will end up dead,

while those ignorant drivers lie asleep in their bed.

Roll on Pay Day

Not because I can afford to spend it, oh no!

on the 1st of February it will all go.

There's a man in the bank who takes my money and flashes it around.

Right down to my last pound.

I might treat myself to something nice, you never know.

The thought of that gives me a warm glow.

Sadly, that's not going to happen because we have car things to get.

Things like break pads and tyres, things that make you fret.

Full of Cold

I'm sitting here doped up to the eyeballs with medication.

I've got enough tablets for the whole nation.

I'm trying to rest up so that I'll feel better at work tomorrow,

because right now, I'm full of woe.

Writing, Writing and Even More Writing

Thankfully, my passion for writing has returned, which hopefully means my mind is in the right place.

especially as I'm now writing at my own pace.

No more trying to reach deadlines and it getting me down.

I am writing with a smile now and have disowned that frown.

Back Pain

I've got an aching back, I think I must have pulled it.

It's alright in the day, but at night, I wish the pain would quit.

I wake up several times at night, which is why I am always tired.

It's definitely undesired.

Also, just when I think it's going away,

it comes back the following day.

I will give it another week and then make a medical date,

and hope my pain will abate.

This One is For Tomorrow

In case I forget, I'm writing tomorrow's poem today.

I hope you all have a good day.

So, what will be happening tomorrow, well, one things for sure.

I want be setting that alarm,

that would be a little premature.

I will have a lie in and when I wake up,

I'm going to reach for the tea cup.

I'm going to drink tea until it comes out of my ears,

and not through a torrent of tears.

I'm going to lull around and chill,

but I won't keep still.

I'm going to be proofreading, oh what fun!

I won't be going out in the sun.

However, before that, I'm going to sit in my jim jams as long as I can,

 and try not to get near a cooking pan.

Weighing in Time

I weighed myself today and I'm pleased say,

my weight has stayed the same,

and it's time to play the dieting game.

First, I've got to lose the four pounds I put on over  Christmas.

That's a definite must.

So here goes, a week of not eating sweets, cakes and biscuits is the plan.

I'll try to avoid them as much as I can.

First of all, I have to write two poems today because I was too tired to write them yesterday. (again)

Drivers UGH!

The coast road was calm and peaceful today,

with a great view across the bay.

Until those idiot drivers came my way,

which nearly caused an affray.

First, there was the driver who thought it was okay to overtake two cars on the brow of a hill.

If I'd crashed into him, it wouldn't have been such a thrill.

Then, I turned the corner into a small village to see,

some motorbikes in the middle of the road,

bearing down on me.

As I rounded a corner, full of the joys of spring,

there could have been an almighty din.

A car was coming around the corner on my side of the road,

the slimy toothless toad.

Well, I could no longer refrain myself and honked the horn,

and on my face was a hint of scorn.

Thankfully, nobody got hurt today,

and hopefully, in the future, it will stay that way.

I can't be bothered

I think I have that disorder that makes you miserable in the winter. I think it's called SAD

Or, I'm just completely raving mad.

For my moods are bouncing up and down,

and I'm constantly wearing a frown.

What do you mean, I seem alright?

DO YOU WANT A FLIPPING FIGHT.

Hard Work

Writing poetry everyday is proving to be hard, because half of them, I want to discard.

Also, I have so much going on in my life, and what I actually write seems boring.

It even gets me snoring.

Still, I'll persevere and hopefully, when the sun comes out,

my poetry will have more clout.

_________________

Should have written this one yesterday

I was tired yesterday and fell asleep,

and nobody heard a peep.

I went to bed early because I was so tired.

Today, I feel a little more wired.

I have darts tonight and I'm not looking forward to it,

because the last time we played them, I'm surprised no one got hit.

I hope their team will stay sober tonight, 

and we don't have another fight.

Tired Out Again!

I'm feeling shattered, 

which rhymes with......... 

Sunday

Woke up in the night because I was cold,

because the thermostat had not been controlled.

However, I'm as warm as toast,

and ready for a roast.

Of course I'm not, I've only just had breakfast, and I have to make that last.

__________

Sunday is a bitter sweet day,

it's when you want to book a holiday.

Sunday morning is for chilling,

because we know what happens tomorrow and I'm not willing...

to get up in the morning in the freezing cold,

and leave my household.

__________

But first, I'm going to enjoy this day,

and tomorrow I will earn my pay.

I'll be popping out for a walk later and stop of for some cake,

by then, I should be wide awake.

I'll do some writing for a while,

before I start that Monday trial.

___________

Then at ten o'clock, I'll feel the pain,

knowing I'll have to go to work again.

Oh dear!

I was tired yesterday and nodded off in my chair.

Anyway, I would have probably been full of hot air.

However, I didn't go to bed,

I dozed off watching the telly instead.

Now I will have to write two poems to make up for my error,

which will fill most with terror.

____________

That was yesterday's text,

now it's today's one that is next.

We went to town today with the family, and enjoyed the treat;

and we had a coffee and cake in the main street.

Alas, my hubby bought some oil paint, but I bought nothing.

When I usually buy something.

____________

Now, I'm resting in my chair and I am starting to relax.

I know I'm getting a little lax.

With that in mind, I'm off to do some research for my new book,

then write it in my notebook.

I've just got to shake this tiredness off and stop procrastinating,

that's the thing.

I'm Sighing a Lot

I'm sighing a lot and I feel a little down.

I'm ready to get into my dressing gown.

Alas, this cannot be so,

because again, off to darts I must go.

Out in the wind and the rain,

getting wet again.

________

I just need to get my enthusiasm back, because I know when I'm there, I'll have fun.

When all is said and done.

Darts

It was a sunny day today,

'No way!' I hear you say.

Tonight, I'm off to play darts with my family and friends,

I hope I don't get many tens.

Sadly, I'm not consistent, but we do have fun,

although we sometimes like to have a winning run.

Also, it's time to have a few shorts,

It's something you have to do when you play these sports.

Woe is me

It's not even the middle of the week and I need a break,

So after work, I went in to town, found a cafe and had some coffee and cake.

Of course, I didn't just go into town for that, I had to get some money from the bank, 

so I can fill my petrol tank.

Then, I came home, cooked the dinner, and here I sit,

I'm just going to rest for a bit.

________

Now, I feel my writing juices flowing,

so better look at Facebook and Twitter, and get going.

Monday

The first day back to work isn't always fun,

but hey, now it's done.

Chilling now and watching the news.

That certainly gives me the blues.

Just starting to relax and about to flick the remote to see what's on the telly,

after I've put this truffle in my tummy.

___________

The weather is windy and wet,

oh well! back to the television set.

Although, I could do some writing, knitting or colouring,

or keep on fiddling with my wedding ring.

'I'll just browse the net for a while,

after I've run a mile.

______________

Scrap the last bit, it wasn't true,

excuse me, I'm off for another brew.

Lazy Day

Sunday, and lazing around,

but not in my dressing gown.

I've got the washing on, ready for the week.

It's spinning as we speak.

The men are out so I'm chilling,

although I should get grilling.

I've had my bath, did some writing on my latest eBook,

but now it's time to cook.

They'll need their dinner after being at work,

and me cooking their dinner is an added perk.

Another Diet

I weighed myself today, since Xmas I've put on five pound.

So, obviously, I look more round.

Today, I've put myself on a diet and things are going swell,

once I've eaten this Bakewell.

Seriously, I've had a hard day not stuffing my face,

but this diet I must embrace.

I want to lose two pound this week of what I put on.

Thankfully, the Xmas goodies have nearly gone.

Stuffing my Face

Every Friday evening I seem to have an attack of the munchies and tonight is just the same.

There's nobody but me to blame.

I think it's because I have the weekend off and I'm starting to wind down.

My cupboard is like a sweetie playground.

Especially after Christmas; there's loads of goodies around,

and my kitchen feels like a battleground.

Even as I write, although I've eaten a lot.

it just hasn't hit the spot.

________

So, I'm going on an adventure into the unknown.

Alright, I'm going to the kitchen cupboard for chocolate.

Darn, now my cover is blown.

My Car was a Good Car Today

Thankfully, things are OK with that,

Nothing really to pick at.

Work was cool, and the kids were mostly fine, 

and I didn't need a bottle of wine.

The weather was rainy and sunny, lucky me,

so now it's time for tea.

__________

Today was a more or less normal day,

and there's not a lot to say.

Although, I did have darts last night and I lost badly...  sadly.

I have darts again tonight,

 perhaps I should put up more of a fight.

Poorly Car

On the way to work, my car became ill.

I thought to myself, heck, it's another bill.

It was spluttering and losing power,

and didn't want to drive another hour.

_________

Well, I called out the man in the orange van, 

and said, 'Please help me, if you can?'

He said you are low on fuel and I said, 

It was in there before I went to bed.

__________

It turns out, my fuel gauge was giving me the wrong reading, and I was low on fuel,

so I sat down on the stool.

Lucky for me, he had some fuel in his van,

in his little green can.

__________

In future, I'm not looking at that gauge, I'm going to fill my car to the top, twice a week,

else I will shriek.

Fingers crossed, tomorrow, the car runs well,

and I don't hear an alarm bell.

Drizzle and Mizzle

Rain and mist, mist and rain.

Please don't come back again.

Tomorrow, when I travel to work, I hope the weather stays dry,

and that big yellow thing is up in the sky.

I hope too, that my mood soars,

 and my sadness doesn't start a war.

I always wake up happy, but the weather lets me down.

Instead of a smile on my face, there is an enormous frown.

So, come on you clouds, get yourself gone,

so I can get up in the morning without being forlorn.

Oops

 I thought I put my poem on here, but alas it was not so,

and now, one poem I owe.

So, I will write this one for yesterday,

okay?

Silly me, I put my writing blog on here instead,

enough said...

Resistance is Futile

Back to work tomorrow, which is cool,

for it's time to get back to school.

Which is OK by me,

because I'm becoming lazy.

Some structure in my life will go down well.

For my apathy, it will be swell.

Sleeping in and Going to Bed Late.

It's nearly half past two,

and it's making me feel blue.

I'm usually in bed by now, but I'm out of sync.

I need to get up early I think.

No idea how I'm going to get up for work,

If I don't get there on time, I'll be a jerk.

_________

However, do not let my little problem trouble you,

I'm sure to pull through.

I'll set my clock early, so I will get up on time.

I'm sure I'll hear the alarm bell chime.

However, if all this fails, I won't be late,

because my husband will know the time and date.

_______

He has to get up first, and that's a plus,

at least I don't have to run for a bus.

He has to get up before me every day,

so will I be late - NO WAY!

A Flat Time of Year.

The decorations are down and I'm feeling sad,

miserable and mad.

The family have gone home and everything feels flat,

I guess I'll just have to deal with that.

The weather has turned chilly and bleak,

and I know, chocolate I will probably seek.

And it's back to work on Monday, which I don't actually mind,

because I need structure in my life; you don't always need to unwind.

_______

So, here's to 2020 and all that it brings.

Hopefully, peace of mind, love, and happiness- amongst other things.

_______

I forgot how therapeutic writing poems can be,

and how they can set your mind and heart free.

I truly recommend it my blogger friends,

 come on guys, grab those pens.

They don't have to be brilliant and don't have to rhyme.

You can do it in your me time.

_________

Once again I've gone of course, and have written exactly how I feel,

but that's only because my brain and heart have much to reveal.

Slurp! It's a can of diet pop this time.

Now, that I've finished my rhyme.

The End of an Era

Tonight, I watched the last episode of 'Game of Thrones,' and I loved it.

Even though the throne was not for Kit.

I loved it because the baddies lost,

even at a terrible cost.

Now, I'm having to look somewhere else for my  fix.

where on earth will I get my kicks.

_________

But don't worry on my behalf,

and don't laugh.

Because I've already started watching 'The Walking Dead.' 

Enough said.

How come?

I said I wasn't going to make any New Year promises and now I've made three,

and not one of them involves a cup of tea.

Here is a clue,

I'm starving are you?

The second is to do with my writing, 

I need not tell you, because it's not very exciting. 

I need to go now, because I'm in danger of fluffing up the first.

My hunger pains are getting worse.

She says, as she stares at the Terry's Chocolate Orange, some jellies and a huge meringue.

They all have a certain twang.

I'm dying for a bit of chocolate, and I'm wondering if I should start my diet tomorrow.

That's cheating. DON'T  YOU THINK I KNOW!

I suppose I ought to go.

I've got a slimming meal in the microwave,

so things aren't looking so grave.

__________

Don't panic, my resolution will hold firm.

There's no need to squirm.

For I have small, realistic goals and this weight one isn't too bad.

Of which I am glad.

I have decided to be realistic about my weight.

Once again, I will narrate.

Because I know, that I lack will power, I've given myself a small goal,

which allows me to eat a sausage roll.

I've decided to lose 11 pounds by next Christmas, no don't laugh, 

it's something I may be able to achieve.

No really, it's not much I know, but I am taking things slow.

Now sadly, I have to go.

My low calorie dinner is ready to eat.

It contains mostly vegetables, and a little meat.

Decision Made

After I've slurped my tea, I've got something to say,

I've made a decision today.

SLURP!

I see you waiting with bated breath,

this cliffhanger is better than a scene from Macbeth.

SLURP!

You think I'm joking about drinking and having a slurp, but I'm not.

For me, poetry and tea mean a lot.

SLURP!

STILL SLURPING!

STILL SLURPING!

Tea finished, it's time to finish this verse and divulge my plan.
I'm going to write some verses, every day, starting from Jan. (Sorry guys, January doesn't rhyme with plan lol)

I'm going to write a poem, based on my day.
I can hear you saying, 'No way!'

Yes, sorry folks, that's how it's going to be,
and I dearly hope you will follow me.

Happy New Year's day

Come on Sue Get a Grip!

I'm neglecting my poetry I know,

I've been on a go slow.

Poetry is my first love and I've let myself slip.

I feel like a proper drip.

I've neglected my poetry fans and that's just not cool.

I'm sorry, I've been such a fool.

From now on, I will try to keep this updated.

I just need to get stimulated.

I wonder if I should try to write a poem a day?

Like going on a diet - I'll start on Monday.
