I'd pen a paragraph
or two
scribble out a
scroll
for
you
the ink pours out this pen
to produce a pretty prose
that's true
hoping
to show my view
my hopes
my dreams
the best for you
don't waste life
heed
this
be true
to you
make mistakes
keep youth's virtue
get a tattoo
in fact
get two
try that awful hairdo
keep your family
close
remember their value
be spontaneous
an impromptu trip
to a beach
or igloo
hug your mother
when
she's blue
learn Kung fu or write haikus
just continue
down your own
avenue



             I hope to be there to see
             how you grew and take
                 some credit for the
                              you
                              that
                                is
                              you
I'm so afraid I'll mess up, I just hope he grows up to be happy

Yes

   You are wonderful

            These words were for no one
                          About nobody

But take them, now they're yours.
Believe them stranger.
Wear an unforced smile, with pride.
Believe those words strangers.
If I make you smile, I guess I'm wonderful too.
Every single one of you are wonderful, for everything I've read and related to, laughed to, thought on and welled up on. You're all wonderful.

Tim had always wanted to marry Harry,
But his co-worker Bob had a negative view,
For bob said this union was repulsive to him,
"Marriage wasn't created for two dudes like you!
I demand compensation for the work I can't do,
Whilst I work in this booth with puffs like you two!"

Bob said his religion, his core family values,
Were the reason that happiness,
Wasn't for guys who love dudes.

Bob's just an *******.
Each to their own.
My friend later quit his job rather than deal with this guy. Such a shame.

Birds sound sweet
I've heard
Tweet chirp tweet

Calmness
In birdsong

I don't get it myself, shut the **** up birds and let me sleep. Geez!
Such selfish birds don't they realise I have nothing to do tomorrow and need to sleep for it!

One branch
Protrudes above the rest
It's not
A competition
There is no match here
It ended
Months ago

Last season
In the race
For light
Survival

This branch
Fails to see

We're all from the same tree.

Any ideas for a title?

A sleep deprived mind at 5am, it's light now as I'm sat in the garden.

What's wrong with me?

I pour my heart
take my time
On the ignored
poems of mine

I take 5 minutes
just write some lines
They trend so quickly
these nonsense poems

Unrefined
I am not ungrateful at all by the way! I love that people read what I write, and I love the feedback I get.

I think I need some serious criticism as my favourite poems to write just don't read as well.

I've had enough
Life's too difficult,
A little too rough.
Trying to find a way out
Can't find an exit.

Where's the sortie?
Ausgang salida,
Выход uscita.
Help me find the utgang!

Feeling trapped,
As people worldwide do.
I've been told before
"This is no place for you!"

I've finally listened,
It's time leave.
Friends tried to warn me,
Oh I was so naive.

Don't tell me I'll be ok
Don't tell me it'll all work out
This isn't worth it all.
It'll be so much easier if I could find the exit.

I'm with my son right now,
He's trapped me in a ball pit,
And I can't find a way out!
What did you think I was talking about?

Cheer up everyone!



Yes I speak Russian
(A little)
Appreciate Feedback - I'd like suggestions for a better title please!
