Alison Gaff Poems

Its like the worlds stopped turning
Without you by my side
But then I look and wonder
At the changing countryside
...

Angles are always busy
Be it by day or night,
They clean and polish every star,
That's why they shine so bright.
...

Another of my favourites
Has to be the jay
Its call is very hard and harsh
But to hear it makes my day
...

Sunrise today was a colourful sight
But fast it faded to dingy light
Now underneath a leaden sky
One man and his dog jog by
...

Everywhere is dark and still
With nothing much to see
But as I turn the corner
The new moon does greet me
...

Its a mizzle, drizzle morning
Dark grey blanket clouds above
It really is quite miserable
Unless you are in love
...

From your scan its clear to see
Your baby is a little he
So blue booties, mittens and hat
Nowt pink or lilac, none of that
...

I love the little Jenny Wren
But he can be hard to see
Constantly hopping here and there
Preferring low bushes to a tree
...

I've just been on a bird walk
With some like minded folk
Organised by 'Forgotten Landscapes'
And Ed Drewitt was the bloke
...

So now the family and friends are gone
And you are on your own
Remember that we all still care
So just pick up the phone
...
