"A few times each year the two become three Days when we share, when we get to be free Sports and dance and rambling wild Man and woman and many a child Dreams come to meet daylight with me Passions are unleashed for all to see"Beautiful! Simply Awesome! Thanks Rhumour

A Poem I wrote recently after hearing a news item. I don't pretend to agree with the stance taken by our own governments in recent times, but feel that the men returning from active service abroad with physical or mental scars deserve more support in returning to peaceful pursuits.....
The End Of Fighting?
Fighting his depression Scraping by each day His fertile mind was still creating Bright art on pavement slabs so grey
On dry days there in London town By the railings of Green Park He might pick up a few pounds And the cents thrown for a lark
If the weather changed though His work washed clean away There was nothing for him How will he eat that day?
Many are the numbers Many share his plight Hiding from the world at large But still there in plain sight
Hundreds once in the army Are said to walk those streets What kind of future had they Imagined they might seek
After their tours of duty Had lately reached an end Surely there's some other purpose For their labours my dear friend?
Credit crunch is hurting some The squeeze is on our purse But still I see around us For so many it is worse

Wow! I have no words, that is a great poem Rhumour! My favorites lines are: If the weather changed though His work washed clean away There was nothing for himI can picture that image on my head. Keep up that marvelous job!

A short one for you - inspired bynthose cartoons of skeletal ladies captioned 'Waiting for the Perfect Man'
The Myth Of The Perfect Man
The perfect man does not exist And if he did would soon be kissed By all those wating for the event So soon all, his energy would be spent Indeed his lips would be so chaffed Swollen while his breath was gasped
Poor guy his chances seem so slim No one would call him Lucky Jim Without some clones he soon would be Extinct again - what irony
Such fate may always face the best Those thay cant have get distressed Stalkers make for their misery I'm glad that I am just plain me

Nine Eleven
No words of mine or others can change what went before We can but stand in silence and remember them once more Though years roll by without restraint and some images fade The sights we saw upon that day are indelibly engraved
So hear a plea around the world to end all senseless feuds Which only serve to damage all and leave a legacy so cruel How many generations will keep the bitter fighting on Surely we must bond together and show evil we are strong
All true religions tell their flocks that peace and love is right So please can every one of them stand up today and tonight Tell their congregations that the might of man is strongest when We all link hands together and make a bond to stay as friends
The memories of those that died in every war and outrageous act Would be so much better honoured if we could just make that pact And as you whisper prayers today and leave your wreaths on show Spare a thought for all the innocents whose deaths we didn't know
