A Poem About Graduating

Congratulations!
This piece of paper, stupid hat and gown have cost you
Thousands of pounds
Good luck for the future
Oh, and give the hat and gown back

Poem 2

Here’s today’s poem.

“No no no no no no!”
Screams the coach
“Kick it honey!”
Yells dad
Desperate for his little princess
To make up for the soccer career he never had
Tempers flare on the sidelines
An air of general malaise
Never once being encouraging
Never once dishing out praise
A goal
A kick
A block
A run
Kids only concentrating on having fun
Take out the negative edge
Relax, take it smooth
Install some enjoyment
And the kids will only improve

A Poem A Day

My new project is to write a poem a day, and you will get to read them, in all their rubbish glory. Here’s the first.

The Beach

Walking over tiny sand dunes
Like Gulliver trampling the Sahara
Hypnotised by the waves
Their neverending chime
Frothing at the shore
As they gently intertwine
Sand clings to my feet
Like sprinkles on a cake
Men solemnly try to bronze
Like antiqued wood
Seagulls gather close by
The most sociable creatures on the beach.
