The Pen

My Poetry
My poems, if you’d call them that smell like where true poets shat. My words come from my tiny mind true meaning you may never find. I scribble my pathetic rhyme; this sort of ode should be a crime. But … Continue reading

The Seaside
I sit beside the seaside, I watch the waves roll in, I think I’ll write a poem, but where will I begin? I guess that that’s the first part of everything we do, whether it ‘s a shopping list or … Continue reading

Words
They wander loose within my mind; these words my humble writings find. They twist and turn within my brain; I let them out or go insane. Sometimes I see them on their own, like single seeds the wind has blown … Continue reading

A Sonnet
In the garden where I roam Elves and Pixies make their home. Many insects there abide under leaves where they can hide from those great big hunting things; some with claws and some with wings. The aphids are my biggest … Continue reading

New Fangled Poetry
I can’t write this modern stuff; I just don’t see its goal. I see word lists and that’s enough to make me wonder if it’s whole. A poem made of lines that short and nothing there that’s rhyming goes against … Continue reading
