What's more precious than life
The second time your handed the key,
and all decisions and memories won't flee

Change of Words
Universe Poems Aug 2022
There was a book written you see
Some people decided to alter the text
Without the author's knowledge,
as they wanted a new college
One that feeds the world,
and allows the sheep to be curled

Starburst
Universe Poems Aug 2022
Don't discriminate against me
Because my knowledge is whole and free,
that dwells inside of me
Why must it hide
We all equally have the right,
to be who we are
Even loved ones may discriminate,
but you must not hate
A sensitive soul
A heart of wild
Starburst child
Kissed by the universe first
Corners and rebirth

A place that helps to support people a lot
Next time you pop to the shops,
how about a stop in a different spot
Look around what will be found
At the same time,
you are supporting a good cause,
that certainly deserve,
the round of applause
Charity shops,
a haven from the stores,
that promote taking your money,
for their cause

Looking Over The Lawn
Universe Poems Aug 2022
As I left the nature scene,
of peace and serene
I stood and looked over,
the lawn of green
Where those red flowers,
reflected the sun for hours
A bed of red,
is where my eyes were led

Poetry Thought Prompts
For Expressive Thinking

Throughout my writing career I have noted that writing prompts are present to aid people in starting to write. I also have the six step writing course on the Universe Poems website.

However I have devised poetry thought prompts for expressive thinking to help people with starting to self express. Poetry itself aids self expression of your feelings and emotions through reading, writing and listening and also provides knowledge.

In terms of self expression through writing, e.g. writing prompts or your own ideas through your thoughts. Sometimes even thinking about what you are passionate about or what you are feeling may be difficult e.g.
subjects, not knowing how you are feeling, lots of different emotions or general interests. This may not be easy to undertake for whatever the reasons are.

Reading the poetry thought prompts or listening to them can aid your own thoughts independently or around the particular thought prompt. Giving you somewhere to start. A certain word, memories, or how you are feeling as well as emotions.

Vast research has found that creative outlets like art forms improve cognitive function also.

Ethan
Tom
What will you be doing today?
We are going to play cricket in the garden,
but first mother
I will be taking some marmalade,
over to Sue
Well, will you be back for lunch?
Yes I am only going to stay for 10 mins or so
Ethan I hope you are not going through the wardrobe door again
While at Sue's you know it delays him Tom,
and I have made a splendid lunch
We don't want it to be wasted
I wish Sue would put a bolt,
on those wardrobe doors

Pergola View
Universe Poems Aug 2022
The freedom
Enclosed in Eden
A pergola view
Expanse of woodland surrounds you
A secret garden,
buried in the woodland encase
This is nature's place
Untouched and unspoiled
Pond of reeds sitting on nature's sleeves
Centre stage,
of the secret garden concave
Ducklings waddle past,
a centre of holistic health at last

Books in Boxes
Universe Poems Aug 2022
The pages are bare
They look quite old my dear
Slightly withered
A variety of colour
Some resemble the gizzard,
but knowledge is there,
even though the pages,
of the old book,
seem crisp and bare
Shelves filled with books
Boxes in the charity shops,
these hold a lot
It does not need to be a library slot

Natura Life and The Doors
Universe Poems Jul 2022
Natura
Outside floral effects reside
What happens to the inside
How many step into Natura
A magical world,
where emotions are preserved,
perhaps you don't want to be served
Floral effects can be seen,
from inside those doors
Stand inside looking out
Know what your emotions are about

No Material Doors
Universe Poems Jul 2022
Noises
Sounds
Buildings around
Air through the windows
A view from a car
Calming air of nature,
is near not far
Shops filled with lots
Commercial plots
Needed by many though,
in a world with continuous flow
Material things,
but you can't take them,
through every entrance,
when the second life begins
