Well this a poem from my heart and a tribute to Bleep and Booster my IVF twins that passed that are now in Gods hands.
Never a day goes by when I don't think of you,
And all the things that you would be able to do,
I was so upset, when they told me I could not conceive.
At first it was really hard to take in and believe.
We were given a chance on IVF treatment,

Hoping and praying that you would be okay.
We sat there watching the pregnancy test go blue,
We just couldn't believe it, was it really so true.
We walked out of the hospital so high that day,
And hoped and prayed that you were safe and okay.
Then the news comes that there was more than one.
Brilliant we said, double the fun.
I named you both Bleep and Booster in my tum,

Well this a poem from my heart and a tribute to Bleep and Booster my IVF twins that passed that are now in Gods hands.
Never a day goes by when I don't think of you, And all the things that you would be able to do, I was so upset, when they told me I could not conceive. At first it was really hard to take in and believe.
We were given a chance on IVF treatment, A baby at the end would be heaven sent. Travelling 50 miles to the hospital every day, Hoping and praying that you would be okay.
We sat there watching the pregnancy test go blue, We just couldn't believe it, was it really so true. We walked out of the hospital so high that day, And hoped and prayed that you were safe and okay.
Then the news comes that there was more than one. Brilliant we said, double the fun. I named you both Bleep and Booster in my tum, And could not wait, till I was a real mum.
Life carried on in a hazy way, Pregancy dates worked out to the very day, As time went by and the doctors said your'e well, We were going to be proud parents and my tummy began to swell.
Then all of a sudden, I had an awful pain, I cried my eyes out and was going insane, We rushed to the hospital screaming please help me. The doctors and nurses saw what was happening and could see.
I was told that something was seriously amiss, My fear grew for my unborn kids. Before I blinked, I was told one had gone, But the other was kicking in, now there was only one.
I prayed and prayed that night in the bed. Was there anything that I could have done or said. I talked to you both and my eyes were not dry, The nurse who was with me also started to cry.
What sort of mum was I? To let one of you die. I felt so scared that you would leave me too, What on earth could I now do.
The Doctor came in with a sad look on his face, As though he had lost in a race, Theres something wrong with the second baby, There is a chance that, you could lose it maybe.
I cried and cried and cried for days on end, And prayed for my baby that God was to send. Then I was told that it had gone ectopic, And I was to face a abortion, how sick.
How could you God, give me so much sadness, Giving me twins and making such a mess. How could I get rid of you just like that, You were so much wanted, I could not do that.
They let me go home to make my final decision, about letting you go and without a reason. I never knew whether you were a girl or a boy, How could I discard you just like a broken toy.
Then a couple of days later, feeling a bit better, Went out shopping when suddenly felt wetter, I looked down and it was just no good, I could see the signs, I was losing blood.
This time I went straight to the Ward. The Doctors arrived and said there is something untoward. I was so scared, I thought I was going to die, And all I could do is cry and cry.
I cuddled my tummy and begged you to stay, Please God, we'll take it day by day. Then one day whilst going to the loo, I noticed something that was not true.
I saw you there, in a little pink blob, A child in the making and how you made me sob. I sat on the floor shaking in fear, I had lost my final dear.
I held you for ages and cleaned you through. Before doing what I had to do. They did some tests and it confirmed my worst fears, That you had been taken, so faraway but yet so near.
All of a sudden I was pregnant no more, I just felt a hopless mess of blood and gore. We tried again on IVF to hopefully suceed, But they told me, you will never be a mum indeed.
For so many drugs had been used on me, That the eggs had disappeared you see. No one can take away the fact that I was going to be a mum. And that inside was Bleep and Booster in my tum.
I often think about both of you and now you would be five. Two strong youngsters fit and alive. But you were taken away to live in heaven, A beautiful world and in a safe haven.
I will never forget how we felt, when we saw the test. And dreams of seeing you grow to be the best. But one thing that can never be apart, Is the love for you that is held in my heart.
Time is a great healer or so they say. Gone are the tears, that I did every day. It is time to say goodbye and move on. But my feelings and memories, will be always be there and never gone.
Advantages: A poem about my wonderful little boy Disadvantages: It's sad
At first there were two,
Then there was you,
At 14 weeks you were kicking,
At 26 weeks you were born.
Home & Away was just starting,
The pains we went through,
On the floor we fell,
The ambulance came,
And took us away.
So many doctors,
And so many machines,
Your heart had stopped beating, With mine split in two.
The blood, I lost,
Made mummy very very I'll.
Weeks later I had woken,
And you was not there,
They said you were a little ... ...country,
And so far away,
Weeks had passed,
Which felt like years,
At last we meet,
So tiny you were,
So many machines,
With So many tears.
Jordon you were called.
Months had passed,
I still couldn't hold you,
I was there with you ever second of every day.
I never left you.
Our skin finally touched,
How soft and tiny you were,
You squeezed my finger,
The first time You moved.
Nearly a year later,
The machines were going,
And You ...

Advantages: It should hopefully make you think!! Disadvantages: A bit long
There are certain times of sadness when a little spark of happiness enters your mind and finds its way to your heart; your heart shakes up your brain and in a state of half slumber, the latter responds: "Yes, I knew this all the time..." MOMENTS
From so much repeating to myself That life has not treated me well,
I forgot about the fact,
That I had not been very fair to life either;
So many futile complaints,
And the persistent struggle in confronting,
... ...Opportunities snatched away by fear,
Or opportunities that I have wasted,
From sheer laziness of acting;
Not having known how to choose.
For the first time ever, I open my eyes wide,
And manage to grasp the essence of moments;
As if chasing delicate butterflies,
Whose beauty I admire intensely and gently set free again.
Moments in which, I surprise myself breathing,
And feel as though I were touching my own life;
Like a light spirit that ...

Advantages: none whatsoever Disadvantages: loss of your time
IF
If clouds were pastel coloured in a rainbow tinted sky
And raindrops fell like sparkling jewels delighting every eye
With greys and darkness banished to another unseen place
And every child awoke to sunlight shining on their face
If summer breeze was finely tuned like tiny tinkling bells
And winter winds sonatas blew across the snowy fells
If crows had song like nightingale and roses always bloomed
And air was sweet and mountain fresh ... ...fair to all and all were equal men
If hate and war and death were gone what would we long for then ?
A world imperfect once again with mountains left to climb ?
Where everyone could set a goal to reach in their lifetime
If perfect wasn't quite enough and Eden's charm too bland
I wonder next to what destruction Man would turn his hand
Our world , imperfect as it is , has challenges each day
And we can make a difference with the things we do ...

Advantages: I actually like them even after all these years, which is unusual for me Disadvantages: you might think they're awful
I'm not writing poetry at the moment. It's something I do intensively at intervals, when moved to do so. Here's a quartet of poems from my visit to Orkney in 1980. They were written many years later when I discovered my journal of the time.
AN ORKNEY QUARTET i.The Crossing
Ola races scudding clouds. Arse to the wind, She ploughs the fertile waters, Scratching her chalk-white passage On the cleft sea slate. Swell-hopping fishermen With feathered ... ...un-winged clinging To Ola's salt-licked decks. Sudden sunlight bathing Hoy's Old Man, He casts his finger in the spray And waves a rainbow arc of welcome To tender hearted friends. But we must go with Ola. Like those of old, Who flew the flag of family or foe, Our course is set for Login's Well And ancient Hamnavoe. ii. Stone Circle
This road, of course, Was neither here nor there In those days - No matter the permanent Feel of blacktop through ...

Advantages: Hidden meanings within whole poem, switching and changing throughout, metaphorical terms used Disadvantages: heartache and sadness turning into strength, your own power and choices
Thinking about something my boyfriend had said the other day, when we were getting into a pretty deep discussion; I came up with this poem. I can tell where he gets his insecurities about people leaving him, because his father left him, and a few past girlfriends have used him for things like getting homework help and such like. Being in the second month of the relationship, this is his longest and he's become a little wary of the fact that it could ... ...scared of that….I suppose it's the way of life wanting to find love, to be happy, to have someone there for you. So getting into a depressive mood, I started off this poem, finishing it with a more positive note, and more positive feedback, and more positive messages. Everyone translates in their own ways, so interpret your own way, but to me, there are lots of metaphorical terms used within this poem and deeper meanings that I haven't been through ...

Advantages: Good fun - I like a challenge Disadvantages: Difficult to use all the words - the poetry suffered!
Thingywatsit currently has a poetrychallenge running (search for Ciao orgy in opinions). She encouraged me to have a go and I thought what the heck. The challenge is to write a poem which includes the words SOUL, HEART,FEELINGS,TEMPTATION,IDIOCY,REAL,ENTICING,SEXY, SENSUAL, MOTHER NATURE, TREES, BIRDS, FLOWERS, COBWEBS, NIGHTFALL, GOD, BRAIN,MANKIND
It wasn't easy....but it was fun!! Here goes...
The Sensual aspects of Autumn
Trees shed their leaves for mother nature
Spiders weave cobwebs in the flowers
Birds fly, the temptation of warmer climes enticing them away
Summer is over
Feelings of sadness fill the heart
Nightfall comes early
God it?s cold!
But roast dinner season is back again
And mankind heads for the local pub for real ale to warm the soul
Alcohol slowly numbs the brain
Suddenly everyone looks sexy ...

Advantages: Puts off work a bit longer. Disadvantages: Further procrastination.
for ops?***
I usually write them the way I?d say them and try to play on words if I can, which has always been a habit. I never take them too seriously ? I like to laugh when I read something, so hope that someone, somewhere has laughed at something I?ve written.
***Which is your favourite of all your ops?***
I really enjoyed putting together the moaning ops such as in the Room 101 section and had fun with all the music ops, but the Ciao addiction poetrychallenge put forward by Duncan (torr) and Steve (netstation) was fantastic, as was the response. I thoroughly enjoyed writing my entry and reading the others.
***Comments written to date***
1289 out of 2346 opinions read. A 54.94% return. I used to comment on most ops, but now I have far less leisure time, so tend to just read and rate, which does annoy me a little.
***Do you write ...

Advantages: It's great fun Disadvantages: It's life, Jim, but not as we know it
several favourites: ?Magic stones in the Yorkshire countryside?, about Yorkshire Sculpture Park,which won me a Diamond (I?m planning an update in the very near future about the current exhibition there); from a consumer point of view, I think ?How to save dough by making bread' was pretty comprehensive; and I did enjoy ghost-writing the ?Through the cat-flap? ops for Leo! Then I?m very proud of my poem, which won me the CiaoPoetryChallenge trophy last year (Paul doesn?t know it, so don?t tell him - this is just between the two of us, right? But.. I returned a cheap copy for this year?s presentation ceremony. I hope he doesn?t polish it too much, or the gold plating will come off. The 24-carat original is in pride of place in my downstairs lavatorium, next to ?Sexual Behaviour in the Human Male?, which I leave there for guests who fancy ...
