POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Like to write about my feelings and things in nature . Often I can mention nature when I’m writing of my feelings
Blue centred pen wants her say
I have a shell
my centre , ink
a blue bright hue lives in me
carefully contained with the shell keeping me safely still
blue and bright eyed ink Living in me
waiting by other contained coloured hues
in a pencil case
or left to sigh on a accepting listening table
my colour sighing in me
lonely in me
tediously tired
I want to speak onto the paper when I wish
but I have to wait for the hands of a girl
I have to wait and only she can hold my shell
let my ink safely spill onto paper
and so I...

Yellow butterfly , were you once a buttercup
Yellow butterfly dancing in the sky
you are like buttercups away from the green grass
buttercups smiling with with wings
dancing in the blue breeze
yellow butterfly dancing
have you once been a pretty buttercup
sitting on a gentle stem
and cushions of grass
speaking softly to your dress of sunshine petals
maybe the butterfly was envious of the yellow sun one day
whilst she lived in a rosey coloured pink
she wanted a change
and live in a colour of a different hue for one day

Radio in the house
There’s a radio living in the house
she’s silent like a mouse
when music is not ready to be heard
as silent as a mouse
who wishes to play some sort of musical sound
like that of a bird with different tones
but she has to wait until someone decides they wish to hear some sounds
she sits in the house
silent as a mouse
when nobody wishes to hear a sound
wishing to be heard
wishing to make some different sounds
outside from her internal world
sounds of hopeful happiness
sounds of slow jazz
fun pop tunes...

Mirror accepting you
Mirror , standing , being
a window to your reflection
she Stands , almost colourless
as if like some sort of breeze
is waiting for you to stand before her
water , she’s reflective and lacking in colour
strong as a brick
she’s loving and accepting
unable to push you away
and tell you ‘ no , your not ok ‘
she won’t shout at you
frown at you
criticise that which you show to her
no , she just stands
a window to your world
accepts the stand you take
the picture you show
with a tender...

Graceful lady , poor but strong
She’s sitting outside in the winter days
and nights of saddened clouds
asking for helpful pennies and golden pounds
homeless , sometimes feeling helpless
but strong in her centred comfortable sometimes sunny space
graceful in a bluebell fashionable lovely light
sitting on her basket which she has cleverly weaved herself
she sits in a dress lacking in colour
a dress so tired from feeling the cold and rain
sitting , sometimes sad with her place in the world

A look in the mirror
A look in a mirror
myself caught In between
eyes staring sadly back at me
here I am , in reflection
here I am lost inside myself
feeling like a cloudy dream is living inside of me
a dream
reality is , I am me , I am real
reflection confusing my wandering searching eyes
because I don’t see me
stranger in the accepting mirror
stranger looking back at me
she’s there , I’m here
almost like a cloud catching a mirror
and questions
who is this
I see white wisps
but I don’t...

Perfect colour for you
Blue , pink , green
I’m a colour that you like so you talk to me
upbeat , dancing , vibrant and positive petals of words are given to you
so you talk to me
but if I talk grey and black to you
dull skies and negative weather
and I’m not the shiny sun that you want me to be
you wouldn’t want to listen
avoid me like that person avoiding a walk in the rain
blue , pink , and green
all positive and perfect in your eyes
and this is the way you...
