Spinning World of Life
Such a variety of life on our world
A spinning world in shades of blue and green,
Upon the polar caps, white ice can be seen.
A beautiful world when seen from outer space,
A world that is home to all of the human race.
Many other creatures call this world home,
And across many continents they do roam.
In the oceans, the fish swim everywhere,
While birds, bees and butterflies take to the air.
Across the ice, penguins walk to their home,
Across the deserts, the camels do roam.
Within the jungles, many creatures live,
Such a richness to us, does this world give.
The only world where, so far, life is found,
It’s just empty in space when we look around.
There is nowhere else all this life can go,
So let’s keep safe this precious world that we know.

Nature’s midsummer music
The birds of summer are singing
The Robin calls as sunrise begins,
Announcing that it is getting light.
Silence fades as every bird sings,
Their dawn chorus chases the night.
The Red Kite flies smoothly above,
Crying out as it watches below.
In the garden lands a Collard Dove,
Cooing as it walks to and fro.
The Swallows can be heard up high,
In the warmth of the afternoon.
Swiftly they zoom across the sky,
Singing out loud their high-pitch tune.
Sparrows are chattering in the tree,
Before they descend onto the ground.
Hopping all around the lawn to see,
What seeds and insects can be found.
The Nightingale calls as sunset nears,
The birds start to settle for the night.
But the Barn Owl hoots as it appears,
Opening its wings and taking flight.

Singing before the Dawn
The blackbird is awake before the sun
Singing before the dawn the blackbird greets the day
Although dark to my eyes, the sun is on its way
Or so he calls out from the tree, loud and clear
Wake up, Wake up, dawns early light is near
Each day in the winter it is his joy to sing
Each morning a little sooner does his song begin
Telling me that though it was winters long night
They are getting shorter, and spring is in sight

Six o’clock cat
A cat waiting for its morning feed (real life experiance)
Six o’clock cat, sitting there on the hall floor,
Waiting for you to open the bedroom door.
She has heard you moving, getting out of bed,
So now it’s your duty, for her, to be fed.
Quietly she turns and then starts to lead,
To the place where you can appease her need.
Grudgingly she waits whilst you pop to the loo,
Then round the corner, brings the kitchen in view.
Impatiently she is weaving around your feet,
Whilst you prepare for her, her breakfast to eat.
Once done you are released from serving her,
Or at least until you’re required to stroke her fur.

The dog’s new bed
What happens when a mattress is put on the floor (real life experiance)
You say that you have put this down for a guest,
But it’s just a perfect spot waiting for me.
I really do need to have my evening rest,
For I’m settled on here now, can you not see.
This pillow is just right, it’s soft and cosy,
And the mattress is just the right size as well.
Right now, I really am feeling so dozy,
For I’m already asleep, can you not tell.
All right! All right! I’ll surrender it to you,
As long as we go for a walk in the fresh air
Otherwise, it’s mine for the next hour or two,
And your guest will just have to sleep in the chair.
