crisp, sta-soft scented sheets,
the rain falling gently on a tin roof,
steaming cups of tea in pretty mugs,
a whole bar of chocolate and a quiet empty house -just for a moment.
steaming showers after long days,
my Granny's beef stew and rice gently fluffed.
new toothbrushes and floral scented hand cream,
brown paper packages from across the sea.
the first day of school holidays,
birthdays and gooey meringues
with whipped cream.
bunches of flowers, lovingly given, lovingly received.
the tick-tock of a house clock,
the smell of a cake baking,
sunsets and sunrises, the scent of spring,
sincere, unwavering friendships, the assurance of a living God ... and 1000 more.
(inspired by Rupert Brooke's original poem)

I'm a lover of free verse poetry and cups of tea. The quickest way to energise me is to give me a moment under open sky, preferably in a garden. I love beautiful trees and Purple Crested Lourie birds and making school come alive for my students.
