Once again.

Must have been made by Some divinity,
Eating that cupcake was a sin to me.
Eating a Boston tea cake good and hearty,
Without being invited to the Boston tea party.
But eating one was one of my holy wishes,
So now I have to stay behind to wash
All the cupcake dishes.
Or
A herd of cupcakes so devine,
I'd eat them all if I had the time.

My father bought all his children poppy's,
Then got berated for not wearing one.
He looked with sadness in his eyes as he said.
" Do you think I want to be reminded about
All the people I killed during the war?".
With that I took my poppy off.
I still wear one when the wife buys me one.

My upbringing was totally different to yours.
Nobody wanted a backwards boy, stuck at the back of the class a viscous system indeed. Bad at math's good at chess,
Was a contradiction in itself. One who's willingness to be taught was brushed aside. Yet I would have given all to become more than I am. Thanks for posting Allen.

I too love the idea of a black and white rainbow,
I've often wondered if anyone noticed.
Two types of star's shine at night,
One extremely bright.
The other as black as night,
Just like your painted rainbow.
All colours of the spectrum,
Painted in black and white.
Thanks for sharing, Regards Alan

Hi F.i.in.e Moods
No need to feel to blue,
If someone out there doesn't love you.
Your better than them, This I know is true.
After all this person is your mum,
Some day she may realise that.
For all the harm she's done.
She could and should have loved you better than anyone.
I know deep down that you would feel this to.
Your eternal friend, Many hugs and kisses xxx

I'm sure there are many poems to come out of the wild west , if no verification can be made on there source, isn't it better to
Publish them as author's unknown, then to lose them.
Enjoyed reading this. Regards Alan

At least you were brave enough to stick it out,
You may look back on the day and realise.
Nothing was your fault and you didn't lose faith in yourself,
If that's the worst it can get you took it all in your stride.
I know this may sound soppy, I would have loved to have given you support when you cried. You should be very pleased with yourself, you didn't give in. Big hugs and kisses my friend.

You can observe without being observed. Regards Alan

I agree whole heartedly, I'd raise a glass metaphorically,
To a man who thought his people should live free,
To give his people a clear and concise free voice,
Whether it be by communist or democracy,
Or any other choice. That man was Michael.

Loved this tom, hope you don't mind. I stole bits of your poem,
To make one of mine. I really don't mind in giving you a say,
I won't even publish if you say nay. If you wish to veto what I
Wrote, there's nothing horrible, I'm not that type of bloke.
As for Dylan Thomas didn't they make him a posthumous
Poet laureate?. Regards Alan
