WORLD POETRY DAY 2025

Not ‘armless but seatless!
     Mike won’t be going far sitting on this
          But I guess he will still get the buzz
               And will definitely go faster 
Than if he were walking.

I wonder how much more we see
     When we are walking slowly
          Do we take everything in
Or does it just go past in a blur?

And what about our lives?
     Do we rush through every day
          Not spending time seeing
The little things in life?

Life is much too short
     Not to see and enjoy everything - 
          Nature in all its glory
               Especially at this time of year
And don’t forget...

Spring is coming - 
     So enjoy every minute
Because...
     You only know you have today
          And that is such
A precious thought!

P.S.  I was intending to Blip some flowers, this being Flower Friday, as per usual, but when I got home after going out for coffee with my lovely friend, Caroline Smith, saw our neighbour's Enfield MotorBike with no seat, hence the poem - and as I heard on the radio that it was World Poetry Day, thought I would "pen a poem"! Enjoy every minute of every day! M xx
