Comfort Vessel - Kate Lee

Today's poem is a "Golden Oldie" and was originally published here in September 2012

If I could capture the beautiful essence of our friendship
I would pour it into a terracotta vessel and keep it safely there,
So that when I was alone and in need of comfort
I could gently release the cork stopper
And bathe in the glorious perfume of contented familiarity.

Rain – A Short Poem About Loss - Kate Lee

Rain falls softly, gently
like leaves from the trees.

Inside you take a shower in your own private rain
hoping that soon the sun will shine again.

Comfort Vessel - Kate Lee

If I could capture the beautiful essence of our friendship

So that when I was alone and in need of comfort
I could gently release the cork stopper
And bathe in the glorious perfume of contented familiarity.

I Want To Go To Heaven In A Rocket - Kate Lee

I want to go to heaven in a rocket,
No not Apollo 17 or the Space Shuttle.
Nothing that grand. Just my ashes in
the grand finale bonfire night rocket.
You know the type, loud and sparkly
Colourful, with a thousand stars exploding
Overhead, necks strained upwards
With “Oohs” and “Aaghs” from family & friends
Below, as off to heaven I spectacularly go!
