Re: Poetry please.

Simon loved his Sarah fair


Simon loved his Sarah fair
Who had the most gorgeous hair
Tumbling down unto her waist
Golden and pure as she was chaste
Though she had hair as sweet as honey
Alas no brush, they had no money.
Simon looked at his golden chain
“I’ll sell when I’m in the market again”
Sarah grieved for Simon had no clock
To hang onto his wondrous chain
An idea sprang into her head
“I’ll sell my hair and with the sum I gain
A watch I’ll buy for my love to retain”
The following week they pursued their plans
Met up , her hair was covered
Said Simon
“I have a brush for your golden hair”
Said Sarah
“I have no need for there’s nothing there”
Said Simon
“My chain was to sold to buy you that brush”
Said Sarah
“I went to town on a number 9 bus
And there I sold my hair, don’t fuss
I now have no need for such an item”
( Madam luck had planned to spite ‘em)
The moral of this sad story is beyond me
Perhaps if they hadn’t acted like zombies
And shared their deepest yearnings
They’d keep their romance turning
Instead she lost her greatest feature
(For she was a lovely creature)
He ended up with a watch, no chain
It’s enough to drive their love insane.
Simon coped by calling her baldie
She pretended she didn’t care
But when they grew up into oldies
The deep deep hurt was still there.
That’s a long one ,oh golly gosh
I didn’t mean to write such tosh
So if you have long golden hair
I urge you to just leave it there.

Re: Poetry please.

YES, I REMEMBER THE GOOD OLD DAYS

Yes, I remember the good old days
When things were better in every way
No traffic jams or motor car fumes
Music that actually had a tune

Well , I remember the good old days
Today’s kids would be truly amazed
At just what we do with imagination
With our hands our heads and perspiration

What we lacked in the good old days
We never missed now we throw stuff away
A tree top den, catching tiddlers in the stream
They were happier days, or so it seems

Now we have our old happy days
Surfing the net , constantly amazed
All the time in the world to contemplate
Until we’re called to the Pearly Gates..

Re: Poetry please.

HE SLIPPED THE NET



The old man was found dead on the kitchen floor
He’d been dead for a week, maybe much more
“ I hadn’t seen him out for quite a while”
Said his next door neighbour, with a nervous smile

“ I suppose I should have knocked on his big white door
But that would only make him turn his radio up more.”
His dog stopped barking two weeks ago
“You’re not supposed to have them here you know.”

Re: Poetry please.

Roll up roll up, it’s a carnival parade
Don’t run don’t run, don’t be afraid.
This procession is for you, be brave
There is no cost for you, it’s fully paid.

First come up seven prowling lions
Looking for someone to devour
Someone who’s in chains and irons
Having frittered away his hours

UNFINISHED

Re: Poetry please.

My grand daughter won this years Young Writers Award in a poetry compitition for her school in Tower Hamlets.
At the grand old age of eight we are very proud of her.

Dreamland

Life is boring

Not everything is possible,

There is something I want to tell you

Go to sleep quick and sleep, I'll tell you then,



The dreams are amazing,

They glow with fun!

You dream of everything,

You can do anything,

This has just begun...



Hallucinate, dellucinate!

Find out your greatest time...

But be aware of the nightmare,

Don't let that take over your imagination,

Keep dreaming, keep living

Keep thinking, keep sleeping,

Dream of the dream land!
