Summer

Church Bells ring loudly in the summer heat

Frantic harmony for the town to hear

Against the backdrop of cars rushing by

I walk down the narrow, cobbled pathway

Passing freshly mowed fields, a home to cows

Chewing idly while the sun heats their

Black and white backs, flies hovering all around

their nonchalant faces

The breeze beckons me seductively to

Appreciate the warmth of the sun and

The sounds of nature enfolding me with

A sense of simplistic, fulfilling calm

Washing away all worries and woes it

Breathes a freshness of new beginnings

Where birds chat to each other in sing song tweets

The brustle of the tree branches swaying to 

The rhythm of the wind, saluting the sun.

Theia

Hello baby girl its nice to meet you

All small amd dainty, with pink rosy cheeks

Big blue eyes looking with questions all brand new

At strange faces of family sneaking peaks

So small, so sweet wrapped lovingly in pink

Your arrival anticipated for weeks

Everyone knows you were the missing link

So loved and content in your mummys embrace

Sleeping soundly, safe with your family

You remind us to slow down the fast race

For this little family, your the key

Your calm and quiet breathing centres our soul

Your mothers love is a song we all hear

You are our remedy, you make us whole

Your love we have been waiting for, our Theia.

My First Ever Blog.

Well this feels strange! I have never written a blog before in my life, and I actually feel nervous. I have the 'first time jitters'. 

I have finally decided to start my own blog site for many reasons - but the main two are the most inspirational...I have recently started a Creative Writing course with the Open University (something else completely new to me!) and I need to get the practice in, even if I write a little - I am writing something each day and starting my 'writing habit' as it were. Another reason as to why I have finally taken the plunge is down to a fellow blogger who I came accross by total chance, Rebecca Alexandre. Her blogs are so intriguing and I have thouroughly enjoyed reading her different opinions, life stories and experiences and will continue to do so. Another reason is that she has completed the course I have just began, so I can realte to some of her blogs.

I hope my writing isn't too boring, if it is all I can say is, stick with it and I am sure I will get better with practice. My nerves and worries will soon go, leaving behind a great writer.... Or one can hope.
