Lynne Howard Poems

Formidable clouds begin to appear
In a somewhat ominous sky
Crash of thunder in the distance
Impending storm intensifies
...

What secrets are revealed
Whilst mirrored in that chair
All caped or gowned and waiting
For the trusted hairdresser to share
...

Walking down a country lane
In the dead of night
The hedgerow suddenly comes to life
Exploding in a burst of light
...

Ascending the 199 steps to Whitby Abbey
One has to be made of sturdy stuff
Taking respite to admire picturesque views
And to alleviate symptoms of being 'out of puff'
...

Beauty of friendship comes deep from within
Without regard to origin or colour of skin
Aesthetic value plays no part
It's what we feel inside our heart
...

Autumn chill is in the air
Trees rustling excitedly in the breeze
Fading light of summer sky
Bringing calm and peace
...

Gathering around the table on Turkey Day
Hands joined together heads bowed to pray
Giving thanks for the food we share
And to our families who show they care
...

Flicker of the candle long ago
When he first caught my eye
One look across the smoky room
The attraction so hard to defy
...

Tranquility of the cherry blossom
Beautiful lady sits pensively
Whiling away the hours
Contemplating her destiny
...

Aromatic flavour of the spices
Curry lovers to thyself be true
Keep a glass of water at the ready
It may just be vindaloo
...
