Harry Is A Poet

Fire hot.

Fire tall.

Hot tall fire swallows all.

Flickers bright.

Flicker long.

Bright long flickers dance in song.

See it glisten.

See it spark.

See the way it lights the dark.

Growing f…

The smallest stutter

The smallest change

The wings that flutter

Cause all that's strange

You want to predict?

To even estimate?

Here's my edict:

Leave it to fate.

See while all in this universe is …

Simply to me, I am an iamb type man
Trochees tricky to breed from the pen in my hand
Stifles all words, blocks this poet's progress
I find absurd, how much pain and duress
Spews from metres like this
Tho…

I heard a tale from a marvellous man

Telling me "Ultimate is" and "Ultimate can"

I want to add a riposte where he may have erred and forgot

Let me add my lot to emphasise what Ultimate is not.

Ultim…

Let me say right now, I love the Olympics
Just give me a chance to say why, real quick
That we should definitely care that it's not fair
On all the locals who happen to live there
That corruption is pre…

t finally happened. The end of the world.

Well, take my hand.

Join me, as we enter the next era of humanity...

I not gonna pretend it's gonna have as many comforts

It's gonna take some heart, gonna …

You frown, you're down.

They wear your crown.

Not beaten, no defeating

Time to get even...

We are strong and we are smart

This is how a comeback starts

Play with grit and play with heart

This is how…

Not everything in life is in your hands.
Anything can upset the best laid plans.
It sucks. I can say nothing more.
When life pushes you through a certain door.
For most of life, you feel in control.
That…

It's how it all started.

The voices.

In the twilight hour, they whispered.

We heard them at the crossing.

Through a veil.

They gave advice we needed to hear at the time.

The advice was often simple…

Everyone wants to feel, in some way, like their thoughts matter
They want to be pitched ideas as a worthy batter
What I didn't want, what I never wanted, was this
To decide whether to cast a man's soul…

It's time.
Oh it would have been so easy.
You could have stayed still.
But no.
You, oh noble beast. You live for a thrill.
And so it begins. Slowly. The count.
You inhale. Ten.
This is it. What everything …

Dear everyone disheartened by this: please don't be.
Now, more than ever, we need to have courage.
Now, more than ever, we need to have strength.
For so long, we have simply resorted to fear to make ou…

This poem is lovingly dedicated to my Grandma
She has been around 90 years on this World so far
Brought happiness and joy to many a different face
She takes life and it's challenges with a loving embra…

Who am I? Who are you?
What are we? What shall we do?
We've woken up a thousand times, emerged from slumber
Sometimes we wake up smarter, sometimes dumber
But normally, well, how to put this politely?

"I was a lot more comfortable being vulnerable and open
When I was younger, and it wasn't clear if I was or wasn't joking..." - Sage Francis
It can be a struggle. To be open and honest.
So despite the …

Immortality in a Can
Immortality in a Can
Grab it while you can
Immortality in a Can
You know what they say:
Once you pop you
Just
Can't
Stop...
Man, I just took this deal, and I feel great
Just popped now fa…

Sometime when the world deals a blow and has dazed us
It's good to think back to the parents who raised us
Your mothers gave birth, as mothers have to do
She went through great pain just to give birth …

If you're having a bad day, this a message for you
Written on a letter, sealed with love and glue
For you to open, whenever it's a struggle to get through
This bad day is one we're both gonna beat blac…

She had that beauty which came from getting up an hour earlier than the sun
And staring endlessly into the mirror willing herself through the next day
Even with a sense of anxious pride about who she w…
