I'm lying peaceful in my bed, it's my day off.
Yipeeeee.
But what's that racket, it's soooo loud.
The cutting of a tree.

Have you ever heard the like ?
That chainsaw's like a motorbike
or dentist drill inside my head
I angrily jump out of bed.

Perhaps the radio on full blast will hide that dreadful sound.
But looking out the window, that huge tree is on the ground.
The space it's left allows the sun to shine across my lawn
And so instead of a lie-in, l'll sunbathe, smile and yawn

Hi .. What's a metre ?? The sun doesn't shine across, though. It shines over where l sunbathe, over me, that's because when l look at the sun, its over me directly. Honest !!

Archie ... Much better, thank you so much. If you have any other comments, l would be so grateful. I started this writing malarkey in July, so don't know all the correct etiquette !! Cheers again. Denise xx

I thought this was really neat and clever, denni. A wry and humerous slice of life. Well-written too, and I loved the last stanza. Trev

I used to feel like you did. Kids screamin, cats poo in in ma garden, dugs barkin', neibours rowin' etc etc .. But now l love my house. It's mine, warts n all. I think l've finally found a quiet place inside of myself, so all the racket round about doesn't affect me now. I hope you find some peace, cos you're Stan, the main man xx

new denni1 Enjoyed your poem very much! Well deserved cherry! Someone here once,told me get ear plugs! Now double glazed windows done years ago.much better,don't think people can hear things loud,themselves. I could make a list! won't. Even when we played as children,big family in the garden at home games,told go down park! so on. Times change so much now! Always someone something moan about. Best get out walk shop,see beauty comes from within us all. Nature! too. Sun is shining! have a nice weekend. julie x
