Summer's Glory (Inspirational Poem 2026)

Inspirational Poem Intro:

Most people love basking in the sun. This inspirational poem explores that love, that need to relax and revel in the sun. 

Likewise, we appreciate a clear blue sky, too. If you're like me, you get fed up with too much grey. Ugh, in Ireland we need more blue!!!

So read on, and I hope you enjoy. Feel free to comment below. Thanks.

Summer's Glory

Azure of blue and streaking white

Rules us from its expanse above

We below, though small and many

Can look upon it and be merry

When the light, the ball of glory

Illuminates us with the blue

It mixes, mingles shades of glory

Causing all below to smile

Tells us to postpone our worries

No strokes of persuasion needed

All too ready are we to rest

Convinced indeed of warmth and glory

Bathed beneath in its kindly light

Blue and yellow do not compete

Each is glad to warm the heart

Meet the inner human need

To feel revived with pleasure’s lead

Mask it not those soothing strokes

Of light and warmth on resting limbs

Be glad of good cheer, uplifted too

As the light of glory chases you

Through the day that you may stay

And wait a while, a little longer

Before the shadows yawn awake

Affect the blue and dim the light

Tarry but a little longer, thankful

That’s all blue and yellow ask of you

And to finish off...

I hope you enjoyed my inspirational poem and were lavished by the blue and yellow, if only in your imagination. 

Have a wee listen to the music below while rereading the poem. I find that soothing music adds to the moment.

Lapping Pebbles (Short Poem 2026)

Short poem: Intro

I thought I'd write another short poem, a pebble poem. Keeping it along the lines of inspirational poetry, too. 

Although I find it's less challenging to write short poetry, I love how it encapsulates one or two points to consider. And so often it inspires:

• hope
• encouragement
• belief
• meaning

So ponder and enjoy!

Lapping Pebbles

Still they lie in blending colours 

Rippling aqua distorting their view

Sparkling, dancing, smiling waters

Looking down on their stillness

Embracing their stillness

And earthy stillness embracing the sand 

Wrapping it up...

I hope you enjoyed this pebble poem, a short or inspirational poem. Here's a wee YouTube video you can play while reading it.

Meadow's Choice (Inspirational Poem 2026)

Inspirational Poem Intro:

Here's another inspirational poem. I thought I'd take something as banal as grass, which we take for granted, and explore its everyday presence. 

I find it amazing when we pause to consider the ordinary, only to uncover the depth of beauty we so easily overlook.

So, here it is:

Meadow's Choice

Everywhere extending, all land within its reach

But not unaffected by the travails of life 

'Tis vulnerable to human and animal touch

Though blessed by sun and wet, whether rain,

sleet or snow as such

Rested upon, sat upon, taken for granted indeed

Everywhere green, its beauty not breathtaking 

Unless adorned with the prairie's blossom

And unabashed it still remains offering its grassy strands

to embrace and immerse with a lover's rest

Steeped in silence, it never complains

'Tis free to experience the tending or cruelty of each

But its grassy presence, its omnipresence

Has special friends too, those who on its greenery chew

and fond overlords tall with sprawling  upward limbs that crawl

Its skyward chums peck beneath it to feed

Wriggling worms their welcoming beaks do greet

Buttercups and daisies giggling children pick

Flower chains they're sporting, making the grassy coating

a place of merriment so sweet. 

And so...

I hope you enjoyed this inspirational poem. Feel free to watch the accompanying video below. You can also play it while ruminating on the poem.

Flying Hope (Short Poem 2026)

Short poem: Intro

Short poetry is awesome. It encapsulates a basic concept that transforms it into a paint-stroked reality. Short poems don't need to wallow in the banal. 

A spark of true imagination inspires thought to create. And as pen touches paper, these sparks give birth to new life. 

So here's my wee poem, and here she blows:

Flying Hope

Hope fluttered in the sky
bright feathers darting 'tween greenery refined
what will it find on branches scratched and worn
life's purpose found with fruits defined and downed

In Conclusion...

I hope you enjoyed my poetic ditty. Watch out for more short poetry, and enjoy the wee video below.
