A sister is a good friend
Who knows you very well
A sister is a confidante
To whom secrets you can tell
A sister is a shoulder
To cry on when you’re sad
A sister is a comfort
For when things turn out bad
A sister is a treasure
More precious than pure gold
A sister can be relied on
Whatever the future holds
A sister will support you
In all you say and so
A sister is a Godsend
And lucky me to have two!
Today’s video poem is all a craze that I have got absolutely no hope of mastering – sexting. Perhaps it is just as well, really as god knows who might end up reading it, or what predictive text will make of it.
If you enjoyed those poems, and have time for a cuppa then you might like to check out my book Rhymes of the Times. It has many more poems like this and is perfect for dipping in and out of when you fancy a little pick-me-up.

I have teamed up again with the talented Sandra (or Daffy as I like to call her), from Wild Daffodil to bring you another bit of silliness this Saturday. Sandra is incredibly artistic and creative, and I just love the images she has created out of shells, stones and flowers.
One of the nicest things about Sandra’s blog is that you never know what she is going to get up to next, from beach art to knitted wigs, and mandalas to making spirals in her garden.
Here is our little story for this week. The Shells have got together in all of their finery for Halloween for some dancing and a special picnic.
The Halloween party was in full swing
On the beach, in the middle of the night
The Shelleys were doing the ‘Moonwalk’
Under its bright, silvery light
Later, when they got hungry
There was plenty for them to eat
Ghoulash, or stake and chips main course
Key Slime Pie or Pustard for sweet.
Drinks or course were a-plenty
Snot chocolate or a nice cup of pee
Maybe some whine would be better
For their Halloween festivities.
They all held hands as they walked home
Dressed as they were, all in white
I bet that if you had seen them
They would have given you a hell of a fright!
Today’s video poem is all about my clumsiness and ineptitude. I wish I were one of those women that always appears elegant and smart. No chance!

Here is our little story for this week. The Shells are going to a Halloween Disco! Check out last week’s story here
On the scariest night of the year
The Halloween Disco was here
The Shelleys were so cool
Dressed as ghosties and ghouls,
Looking rather scary and weird
Thriller got them up on the floor
Monster Mash had them begging for more,
Bewitched went down well
As did Bat out of Hell
They danced as they’d never done before
For as long as I remember
You have always been around
Like a blanket of security
That I can wrap around
I’ve turned to you when happy
You’ve comforted me when sad
You are there for all occasions
For the good times and the bad
Sometimes you know just how I’m feeling
And you reflect that in your voice
You know when I am being playful
And just want to make some noise
You are soulful, you are sexy
Sometimes spiritual and serene
You are raucous, you are raunchy
And nearly everything in-between!
Whatever I have been through
You have been a huge part of
Music, you are my salvation
And my never-ending love
Today’s video poem is about music; how it can transform your mood and transport you to another place and time.

I received a very special package today from an equally special person! This is what I found inside.
Can you guess what is in that precious little bundle? Well, here is a clue. can you see the little shell legs poking out at the bottom there?
As some of you may know, I have teamed up again with the talented Sandra (or Daffy as I like to call her), from Wild Daffodil and we are collaborating on some on some fabulous art that Sandra created. She is incredibly artistic and creative, and I just love the images she has created out of shells, stones and flowers. So much so that I thought that they deserved little stories attached to them. I express myself better in verse so I wrote some little rhymes which Sandra kindly agreed to put with her characters.
We have created a few together now, and I can tell you, it is such fun working with Sandra. I love seeing what she is going to make her characters do next, we have had a pole dancer and aliens doing yoga so far!
The exciting thing was that Sandra got some of these made up into greetings cards, some with and some without the poem, plus she has also made some beautiful mandalas made with flowers, one of which is on the cards. I was extremely excited to get some in my package today!
The quality of these cards is lovely and they really are unique! If you would like to get your hands on some then please visit Sandra’s Contact me page here.
You won’t be disappointed!

Here is our little story for this week. Meet Grandpa and Granny out for a walk, when they bump into some rather scary characters! Check out last week’s story here.
Walking to the seaside one day
Grandpa and Granny met friends on the way
They had quite a fright
Realising something wasn’t right
At a loss to know what to say.
There was an Ugly Shell Show
And the friends had decided to go
They transformed their features
Into hideous creatures
That, Grandpa and Granny didn’t know.
Granny had got such a scare
What had happened to poor Wilbur’s hair?
And Micky’s disguise
With massive bug eyes
And those lips…Wow, what a huge pair!
Even their little Sonny joined in
With the sockets of his eyes coloured in
Jill’s face was so flat
Like she’d been hit by a bat
Now who you YOU think will win?
I have a message from Sandra again this week
I expect you know by now how much I love to join forces with other creative minds. If any of the characters that appear on our Silly Saturdays spark an idea for a story or a poem, please get in touch. Judy and I are tentatively thinking of putting a little book together and we would both love it if it could be a group effort from our wonderful blogging community. All very much in the early stages and we welcome thoughts and ideas. I’m wondering about an ebook with sales going to charity … but all those details are up for discussion. Here’s a reminder of the characters so far.
Today’s video poem is all about a good old gossip, or tittle-tattle if you prefer. Whether it be over the garden fence with a neighbour, or by the photocopier in the office, many of us have indulged in it at some time or another.
