Rule of thumb:
♠ = Quotations (attributed or unknown);
♣ = Trivia, Ephemera, People's ramblings;
♥ = Winnie's ramblings.

Whimsy is dynamic i.e. like a woman's mind, ever-changing.

Alphabetical list of Winnie's selected poems:

A gust of wind, and all is whirling confusion

A poetry reading. Now there's a thing

Alex's 'B' words

Bells, pealing outside my window

Blackbird sings in the dark: fills my heart

Carey was an only child

Drying imbetween my toes

D'you remember

Every band began with 'The'

Fireflies dancing in the evening sunglow

Frost twinkles on the slumbering cars

Hark, I hear the bells of Westgate

He struts the stage

his early laughter sounding like a chicken

How to describe this feeling

I am not a victim

I am not an axe-murderer

I can't decline one Latin verb

I didn't put the cat out

I do not like Stevie Smith

I do not sense the pain that Nature feels

I have a book

I live in a tip

I love you because...

I met a girl from Nottingham

I pour myself a cocoa

I read a book when I was small

I wanted to write a flowery line

I was born in the Year of the Snake

I write to people, in poetry

I wrote a poem (short) last night

I, am a piece of the future

If time would whisk a life away

I'm always the one behind

I'm looking for my family

I'm standing in the corner

I'm staring in the mirror

In the well, the voices are calling

It stands alone out there

I've got a bear, a yellow growly bear

Loneliness is

'Look on the Web', I'm told everywhere

Love, You are the dawning of my life

Lucky the lazy lump

Oh! beautiful!

Once, I was my father's daughter

p.s.

Perhaps I ought to write

Point at the sky

Polyanna - playing in the long grass

Queue for cucumbers, today

See, if it were another day

Sitting on the present

Snail on a hill-top

Stuart's got a hamster

Tell me a tale, Pandora

The day the Fire Brigade came out

The North Downs over Folkestone

The rebel moon looks down

The Road is long

The sun has gone

The trees sleep tonight

The White Hill is a monster

Then~ she was a dancer, echo to life's curios

There is a hill above a market town

There's nothing on the telly

They are hacking people to pieces in Slough

Turn, turn, on the spiral of life

Visions of Bluebells on a Spring Afternoon

Wandering the meadows of distant memory

We are the older women

We couldn't wander on the plain

We were sitting watching 'Psycho'

what's the plural of 'haiku'

When first we moved in here we planted a tree

where to hire a party clown

You are gazing

You can't complain

You look ...... but you do not see

 

did you miss me?
