Un-pretentious poetry
I write tidy little poems
uncomplicated rhymes
to paint for you a picture
contained within its lines
I have no time for flowery words
or eloquent pretense
I write poems people talk about
over the garden fence
I don't try to be too clever
or try to be too flash
Because making out your better
just leads you to a clash
Like "who the hell does he think he is
speaking down like that to me
Some others may like what he says
but his words are not for me"
And thats not what I'm all about
I write to share a thought,
a feeling, an emotion,
hell I even write 'bout sport.
I write so people know
that in their thoughts they're not alone
to arrest those night time monsters
that in our minds have grown
A trouble shared is a trouble halved
or so they used to say
but in our disconnected lives
we don't communicate that way
So instead of just sitting there
haplessly afloat
Do yourself a favour
and read the stuff I wrote
Some of it is happy
and some of it is sad
and some of it may just be like
experiences you've had
And once you find that piece
read it, take it home
and sleep a little better now
knowing you are not alone.
