My Poetry

This is a display of my poetry. You can leave comments or your own poems. I agree not to use anyone elses poetry without permission and would require others to do the same.

Name: pumpkinjam
Location: Bedworth, Warwickshire, United Kingdom

I am 26. I have 2 children(both boys)who have been inspiration for much of my poetry. I have had several poems published in different books but I thought it would be nice to keep it all in one place. Unfortunately I don't have all of my older poetry so this will be mostly recent. Please read the post "Poetry for You" for details of my handmade poetry cards.(near the bottom of the March posts)

My Angel

Bright blue eyes
And a perfect smile
Yes I love him
No denial

He's beautiful
He's so complete
So many strengths
You can't compete

He is my son
My only one
He's nearly three
Where has time gone?

He is my angel
My bundle of joy
I love him so much
My little boy.

Ode to the One Show

Ode to the One Show

Entertaining and witty and packed full of fun
A favourite programme on BBC One
How lovely to see Adrian and Christine
Always entertainingand always pristine.

Frankie

Frankie had the experts worried
His crawling and walking wouldn't be hurried
Waiting to be carried
To sit on someone's knee
Is so much easier thought Frankie
I'm sure you'll agree
Than trying to walk
Anyway, I'm busy
Learning to talk

Being helpless I've found
Gets them all running round
If I drop a toy, I won't fetch it
No, boy!

Making enough noise
Is one of my ploys
To get their attention
Then, I should mention
I get what I want

So you see
It's best for me
To pretend to be helpless
And worry them so
I won't let it show
They'll never know
It's my way of coping
I know they are hoping
I'll walk or I'll crawl
I won't try at all
Maybe later I'll try
But while my ploy
Is all I need
Why should I bother?
Why, indeed?



Written for my "Lazy Baby" by my mum, Linda.

Silver Candle

A silver candle burning
To help me light me way
To guide me towards happiness
Each and every day

A black one to absorb my fears
And take my darkest thoughts
To help me live with happiness
That i've so dearly sort

My silver candle burning
With yellow flame so high and bright
To help me focus on the good things
Throughout the day and night

English Spring

Spring is here
The Sun is out
At least it was yesterday!

It won't be long
'Til Summer comes
And the kids can go out to play

Rain and Sun
You get it all in Spring
But remember it'll soon be warmer

Maybe but for one day
The Sun will shine bright
And the weather will be calmer

We've been through Winter
Though I think it's still here
What funny weather have we

But this is England
What do you expect?
It's all lovely to see.

School Days

I really didn't like those days
When I went to school
The teachers were all horrible
They were smelly and cruel

The children were no better
They were a rotten lot
They threw chalk at teachers
Some of them flicked snot

They picked their nose and flicked it
Right across the room
It would hit teacher on the head
And then we knew we were doomed

The teachers got us back, you know
When we were unaware
They'd get us during break time
And drag us by our hair

I recall the good old days
Of bullies and grazed knees
But I think your school is nicer now
I hope you agree with me

Ok, so I made some up
I won't say which bits are true
But don't let your teachers see this
It's a secret between me and you.
