Memories (A Poem)

Memories We have a lot to catch up on, You, and I. Many memories to recount, Of times gone by. Sifting through the memories, Switching from year to year. Which ones are worth it, Those that we hold dear. We have time to relive, The meaningful ones. Savouring the good …

Thanking the Muse

  Just shy of four in the morn, gently nudged into consciousness, eyelids fused together. Why on earth am I awake? “I have an offering, a gift from the Universe. Don’t you want it?” Bleary-eyed, and somewhat disappointed at being woken from slumber, I pondered the question. Well, I am …

Fortnight Lily (A Poem)

Fortnight Lily by Mumma Sue   Six white petals, Folded sides, Vessel-like, Curled at the tip. Painted golden splashes, Almost dotted, On every second one, Like a bath’s non-slip mat. On the other three, Fine short strokes, Of rusty brown, Close to the centre. Shades of purple, Soft in colour, …

I Once Loved (A Poem)

I ONCE LOVED by Sue Nolan Things I once loved, I love no more Peacefulness, I seek in every day To keep grounded and be authentically me Nights out dancing with friends and loud music Traded for quiet evenings and early to bed Sleep-ins, once a must, not anymore Early …

Hearts’ Memory (A Poem)

Hearts’ Memory by Sue Nolan   A memory on replay Of a moment so sweet Enlivened but fleeting When two hearts did meet. Life’s cruelness Keeping them apart Yet forever united In their hearts. Immensely beautiful Was the embrace Now only a memory Left to trace. Back to that moment …

Moonlit Whisper (A poem)

Moonlit Whisper by Sue Nolan   By the light of the full moon In the serenity of the night Crisp thin air without a breath Illuminated by sound and sight A whisper can be heard From far across the way Past houses and fences And trees that do not sway …

A Morning at Patrick’s

Morning time. Four men sit at a table under the arches of sprawling leaf covered branches, accompanied by a sole woman. Raucous roars reverberate, bouncing off the metal panelled fence. Voices rise and fall as hands makes gestures with enthusiastic vigour. Pauses of silence are occasional. Less often, a wave …
