Simon

Little hamster Simon

Died when I was Seven.

I miss him so much 

He’s now in hamster heaven.

I miss my little hamster friend

Little hamster Si.

I miss his furry little legs

And his little beady eyes.

I miss the way

He played on his wheel.

I miss the way

His fur would feel.

I miss the way

He hid in wool.

I miss his cheeks

Becoming full.

I miss the way

He stumbled in food.

I even miss

Cleaning up his pooh.

Little hamster Simon

Died when I was Seven.

I miss him so much 

He’s now in hamster heaven.

Too fat to fly

Migration time is here again,

But Puff’s too fat to fly.

All her other relatives,

Take off and wave goodbye.

  

Left alone and keeping warm,

Puff hibernates in snow.

She flaps her wings and hides her beak,

And feeds on worms below.

Darkness creeps across the land,

As wolves sniff out their pry.

Puff holds her breath until they’ve past,

She thinks they’ve gone away.

Suddenly a growl is heard,

Throughout the midnight sky.

Puff knows she doesn’t stand a chance,

If only she could fly.

Candy Floss Hair Girl

All she ever wished for, was long luscious hair,

But then one day, she shaved it all bare.

The problem she had, was her candy floss hair,

Kids ate it like sweets, it just wasn’t fair.

So straight after school, she ran to the shop,

‘Give me the closest shave that you’ve got.’

Before she had finished what she had said,

The barber couldn’t help but lick her head.

‘Do you know, you have candy floss hair?’

‘Of course I do! Now shave it all bare!’

The barber prepared to cut with delight,

But not before taking, one last bite.

Bouncing back

So, it's been awhile now (an embarrassing amount of time has passed), since I created a blog and never 'created'.  It's time to 'get back into the swing of things'.  

The aim will be to stay creative and to stay curious.

Let's see how it goes.  No pressure, just pleasure.  It already feels good to be back :)
