My shiny snake, you inspire me to write.
I hate the way you slither, look and hiss,
Invading my mind day and through the night,
Always dreaming about our first real kiss.

Let me remember where I went astray,
When you turned creepy, clever and awful.
Do you realise just how much evil dismay,
You caused me with your plight oh so painful.

How do I hate you? Let me count the ways.
I hate your terrible smile, tongue and eyes.
Thinking of your woeful words fills my days.
My hate for you can only grow in disguise.

Now I must away with a weepy heart,
Remember my cruel words whilst we're apart.

Watching the sunrise
It's so very beautiful
Can I go to bed?

Poems are different
Like people and watches
They take different forms
From odes and to dactyls

A poem could be
A sonnet by Shakespeare
Or maybe you'd like
Funny limericks like Ed Lear

Some poems take shapes
And put them in concretes
While others write lyrics
That keep for them secrets

Many poems have structure
Like haikus and epics
Others float freely
Like elegy ekphrastics

That's it for poems
Though many are left
On this very website
Are some of them kept

Come with me into the world of elves
Where nothing is as it seems
There, forces from two worlds fight each other
And we just might get lost

And we soar from world to world
Nothing will stop us now
And we soar from world to world
Don't you want to come with me?

We will travel over the mountains on a snow white swan
And sing about what we see
Let's fight dragons and dark elves and troll
Who dwell in a far above cave

And we will soar from world to world
Now won't you just come with me?

There is only one thing that gets me out of bed
That smell of roasted dark beans
Ground up and put in a glass jar
Steaming hot water poured over them
To make the sound of angels
Then pressed down to make every single
Particle of flavour seep into the dark brown water
Pour the liquid into my favourite mug
And smile as I sip and look at the beautiful day outside

The world turned upside down
My life did as well
Everything is on hold
