Spending Time

I’m sitting in a comfy chair with pen poised in my hand,
to write a piece of poetry that some may understand.

It doesn’t matter what it is or how I choose to rhyme.
the purpose of me writing it is just to pass the time.

For this is how I meditate and how I free my mind.
I’ve tried a dozen different ways but this works well I find.

When words come flowing from my pen without a second thought
I find myself in harmony with all I ever sought.

For many years I’ve juggled with a full and hectic mind,
and never found the time to do the things my spirit pined.

As poetry is one of them, I don’t care what I say,
for writing gives me peace of mind and helps to soothe the day.

If you don’t really understand the ramblings that I write,
don’t scream and shout about my verse and say that it is trite.

For this time I don’t give a damn if you like this or not,
this one’s for me, to spend some time, for I’ve not got a lot!

Ivor G Davies

The moment created this second, is a  moment that's going to last.
It lives the full spectrum of time, the future, the present and past.

I write for the same reasons
And I am a fan of yours.

It's good to see you posting again.
I missed you.

I don't write to pass the time
But more to search my mind
I wont write all I think
For some of it's unkind
I try to be a diplomat
Then fall far from the mark
I'm going to come Back as a Dog
Just wag my tail and Bark

A quick, bright read,
unapologetic -
nice to see something
from someone who gets it.

My dear man, you and I are of the same mind on this! So much so, that I am saving this beauty to add to my "Ivor Collection".

Write on, Poet!

Namaste

I find writing very soothing as well, Ivor
and I for one enjoy your way of getting right to the point.

Hey Ivor with your Pen in hand
At least that’s what I think
Cause Joan has got her pinny on
Stood at the kitchen sink…
Time and tide it just wont wait
I need to catch your eye
Otherwise days will be gone
No matter how I try

I have a message to pass on
From Her in the sky with diamonds
Who needs a favour to be done
That’s worth much more than gold

Grrr the last bit didn’t rhyme
Just shows I’m getting old
Liar Liar pants on fire the truth havn't told...
You all know very well that I am just a kid……    get in touch!!
