Springtime
Looking Forward To The Spring
in Spring Poems
Humming from the bees is in the air,
soft as gentle musings in my mind,
scented blossom making them aware
of certain hidden treasure they may find.

Keep Calm And Breathe
Staying Calm When StressedKeep calm and breathe when feeling stressed,
More...
when life is tough. If you're depressed
go for a walk, breathe in fresh air;
talk to a friend you know will care; -
A Shining Star
Inspired By The Night SkyI see your star still shining bright
More...
amongst the others in the night,
a sight so blessed, as by my eye
your star now rests in symmetry. -

an empty heart with empty hours to kill,
remember brighter skies are on their way.

I just love your poems - keep writing. You inspire me to keep writing myself.
I've always loved this poem and taught it to my children and grandchildren at the appropriate time.
I was lucky enough to accidentally stumble on your poetry, which I very much enjoy. Like you, I am retired and finding writing poetry very therapeutic, both in lockdown and because my husband is battling with cancer. Also like you, I am glad to have discovered Family Friends Poetry, who have been kind enough to publish a few of my poems. Very best wishes - keep writing! Ann
Florence, what a lovely comment; it means a great deal to me. Thank you.
I just wanted to thank whoever it was who marked my poem as a favourite. This is the first poem I have ever had published, so it is very good for morale, firstly to have it published at all and then to feel that someone has enjoyed reading it. Thank you, whoever you are.
