Well, this is the best I can do... I have only one poem that I wrote as a kid. I don't know how old I was - just that I was a teenager... 'Tis a bit simplistic, but here it is, nonetheless...  For running and dancing and skipping along Today is a day to be euphoric A day for a jolly old song.  |

Nan, you might not believe this, but I needed to hear this just now. Must have woken up on the wrong side of the bed, thanks for the reminder of the good side! Corinne |

NAN, such wisdom. though in my neck of the woods I will have to that inside because it raining really heavily. lovely poem. ------------------------ "I've been too honest with myself I should have lied like everybody else"-Richey Edwards "Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints. Kill nothing but time". Baltimore Grotto "Libraries gave us power Then work came and made us free What price now for a shallow piece of dignity" Nicky Wire, A design for Life. manic street preachers La Tristesse Durera (Scream to a Sigh) "Life has been unfaithful And it all promised so so much I am a relic I am just a petrified cry Wheeled out once a year, a cenotaph souvenir The applause nails down my silence La tristesse durera Scream to a sigh, to a sigh I see liberals I am just a fashion accessory People send postcards And they all hope I'm feeling well I retreat into self-pity, it's so easy Where they patronise my misery La tristesse durera Scream to a sigh, to a sigh I sold my medal It paid a bill It sells at market stalls Parades Milan catwalks The sadness will never go Will never go away Baby it's here to stay |
