#152 A friend in a strange place

#152 A friend in a strange place

It's one of the nicest things I've got to do
Be a friend to someone a little like you
You know the situation, go somewhere new
Scared about what you're going to go through
Not sure if people are friends…

#151 Zebra

#151 Zebra

An animal on the street is must curious
Because usually you find them furious
Cars honking at them from both ways
Doesn't help to alleviate delays
Equine was the creature that I saw
Four legs stood on ta…

#150 Flight

#150 Flight

I've never had wings.
I've never felt the wind.
Yet for what I have known.
I may well have flown.
One time, when I was five, I ran really fast.
Everyone around gaped and gasped as I galloped past
I leapt …

#149 Ignorant

#149 Ignorant

I'm ignorant, I'm ignorant, I don't have all the facts
I'm ignorant, I'm ignorant, there are points of view I lack
I'm ignorant, I'm ignorant, but I'm trying to pick up the slack
'Cause I'm ignorance, …

#148 Potential

#148 Potential

In art, no one has a blank canvas.
...
At the start of all art, you have to be reverential
Because at heart every start is purely potential
We could unfold any world with that blank page
Because the worl…

#147 Things that whirr

#147 Things that whirr

To say I'm an old school cur is a rule of thumb,
But I love things that whirr, and things that hum.
A machine with too many gears and too many parts,
Is something I revere in my heart of hearts.
It's no…

#146 Neon Ghosts

#146 Neon Ghosts

No one watches tv anymore. We wouldn't dare.

We've got real life if we want our scare

We tell stories and tales of days gone by

Of the lost generation, of those on standby


It used to be, we would st…

#145 Reviewing Art

#145 Reviewing Art

Here's the answer to a question that you weren't even asking

There is no such thing as a perfect casting

For that book you adore that fills you with amour

When put on screen just leaves you wanting m…

#144 I've Done This Before

#144 I've Done This Before

I've done this before.
This day to day
Waking up in dismay
The repeat and replay
To all work and no pay
I've done this before.
I've done this before.
The eternal tired
The never inspired
My headache is fired

#143 Break Me

#143 Break Me

It's time that this world did not forsake me
No lie, it's tried, to bow down and break me
It fried me inside as it tried to bake me
Wanting to expose, but finding no fakery
It would never hold back
So I …

#142 First World Problems

#142 First World Problems

Your own experience of the world is not invalid.
The emotions you feel are very much real
There is no bubble that is more real than any other
No possible interference of anything but a real experience
I…

#141 Colour in the Crowd

#141 Colour in the Crowd

Never forget your youth, dear reader.
By which I mean the truth.
Not of simple nostalgic flights of fancy
Your days were not that angelic
Not, simply of this fact, good friend
You'll realise if you think…

#140 On the Streets of Our Leader

#140 On the Streets of Our Leader

We, as a country, elect a leader
(Near enough we do anyway)
This leader is sent to live in London
And in London they'll tend to stay
A five minute walk from work
What a beautiful place to reside
And if yo…

#139 The Ties that Bind

#139 The Ties that Bind

I look out for myself, in my own way,
I try to take care of the day to day
I watch for trouble, look for danger
Every other human is essentially a stranger
So I keep myself aware and healthy
For this is …

#138 Dear Human

#138 Dear Human

Dear human,
Rest assured this letter is not of the form I would love to write
I would love to claim moral height of what is wrong and right
I dearly desire to dismantle and dissent of all that you do
Bu…

#137 The Dreaming

This was a five part poem. Only the first three fit in the description, links to the other two are below.

Stage 1: The Gates

Are you really alive? Are you really awake?
Is all this real, or might it …

#136 Names

#136 Names

When I was born

And when you were too

Some sounds were uttered

Then given to you


You held on tight

Still do to this day

To that utterance

Which you portray


The sound is not unique

To you or another

#135 Post-Tournament Blues

#135 Post-Tournament Blues

IMPORTANT: THIS IS A PSA

IF YOU'VE RECENTLY FOUND YOURSELF DOWN ON A MONDAY

LESS ENTHUSIASTIC THAN MANY OF YOUR BUSINESS COLLEAGUES

UNABLE TO FOCUS ON ANY CIRCULAR OBJECT WITHOUT WANTING TO THROW IT

#134 Dedicated to the Loser

#134 Dedicated to the Loser

History is written by the winners, as you know. By the victors, the ones who come in first.
Usually, rightly so. They fight and battle so when it matters they don't end up as worst.
With great respect…

#133 Before I Forget

#133 Before I Forget

I am not a smart man. I was never even a smart boy.
What I am, is curious. Curiosity leads to preoccupations.
Which leads to you forgetting whether or not you've eaten lunch.
Alternatively, it also lea…
