POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Noughts & Crosses
Tic-Tac-Toe,
Should I start my tactics and go,
Should I pause a sec, take it slow,
Where should my nought go? I don't know,
Should the cross be in the part down below?
Should my nought go in the middle row?
All these thoughts making my mind go back and fro,
All for the game of Tic-Tac-Toe,
Three minutes gone and the game is done,
Two opponents play, one's lost, one's won,
So very quick, yet strangely fun.

Tick Tock Tick Tock, time can be a blur, we all need to enjoy each minute, each second that much I can concur, before I go on I apologize if my words are a slur..
Live life to the fullest, reduce any regrets you have, evolve be your best version, yes i know it can be quite a hard conversion , at all times be yourself, for long life keep good health...

Meeting new people
I enter a room,
Each person I see, stare back,
All their eyes feel like piercing daggers,
There simple greetings of “Hi”
Are sucker punches with powerful blows,
Wilting this delicate wallflower to the point that,
My greetings back are just whispers blown away in the air,
I sit down and try to begin the art of socializing,
I laugh on cue to jokes that aren’t very amusing,
At the same time the seat I’m on feels like needles are jabbing my posterior,
in reality the seat itself, has soft plump cushions with plenty of space to relax, ...

Pseudonym
There is power in a name and with my name my abilities amplify,
An alter ego of sorts I don,
To help paint my true self across a page,
A second destiny,
I choose my fate once again,
Or should I say they choose their own fate for the first time,
I am a poltergeist crafting the words on behalf of my significant other,
Two worlds I don’t wish to collide just yet,
Therefore, one must remain the shadow,
Identity shrouded in secret,
I could be male, female, non-binary,
No system can pin me down,
Since I’m neither a 0 or a...

Two stubborn peas in a pod
A quick glimpse then I look away,
A quick glimpse then she looks away,
whoever gets up first from bed and turns off that ear-busting alarm,
that is inconveniently far from the bed,
has to make breakfast.
tempting as it is to eliminate that deafening sound...
I refuse to lose again,
Besides...
fluffy scrambled eggs with slices of crisp bacon,
with much room on the plate for mushrooms,
sat next to a pair of golden glazed sausages,
all of this ... brought to me in bed,
sounds too delightful to pass up,
...

Raw Emotion
There comes a point where words become useless and something is done to show how one is feeling....
I guess that is a reason to why action speak louder then words , because actions fill the voids that words can not possibly reach...
Which brings me to " Raw Emotion " in which the best way to define it is , the point where feelings manifest too potent to be contained in the mind or via words, that they result in some form of expression.....
Whether it be anger so ferocious , you possibly bang your hands as if to invoke Hulks rage... Minus the green...

Beauty is sweet
Beauty is sweet,
like Skittles,
whether sweet or sour all the flavours in the packet are unique in their own way,
showing despite difference they are all scrumptious
Beauty is sweet,
like Haribo Starmix,
they come full of different shapes and sizes,
some may find others much nicer than the rest,
nonetheless all are delightful
Beauty is sweet,
like Pear drops,
hard to crack,
but give it time,
it should not be rushed and you will appreciate
how greatly satisfying the taste can be,

The Most Tyrannical King: The OverthinKing
Ever jumped from one thought to another faster than the speed of light or at the speed of your internet connections full might...
Within each thought grows like a tree, with the branches like intricate questions of what if...? why should I bother ? how ? when ?
In addition, these branches stem off, to bring more questions, more non-existent fears , more hypothetical problems, more questions, more non-existent fears, more hypothetical problems.....
So repetitive, each thought more scary as though all of them are being competitive , each thought making you more...
