Best Trip

BEST TRIP. By Peter Toland:- written for my bro, James canning. When we go on a journey, there is lots to see. The best thing about it, it is that we're free. Free to explore which is natural to do, explore our emotions or go to the zoo. Go on an old train, a bus anywhere. The good thing about it we don't have a care. Go down to the seafront and sit for a while, contemplate life and all of it's trials. Go to the pub have one drink or two, wherever you go it's all up to you. If you see someone lying in a bag on he floor, remember it probably hurts to the core. Sometimes in this life we can't take anymore, that's why we must go we must go for sure, not on a journey were there's lots to see, but we go on a journey to make us feel free. If you go on this journey you might learn something more, it could possibly be your best trip for sure.           The reason I named this best trip is because the name of the horse I backed in the bookies yesterday was called best trip. You dragged me out of bed yesterday evening to go get some fish n chips and sit in the park. Not just any old park. There were some bad people in that park too who have done bad things. Someday him and his dog will meet their match too and things will change for him and his dog. Sometimes in life we've just got to go with the flow and let the water take its natural course, but 
Sometimes we've gotta get up and do something if through it's natural course the water is drowning us.    You've probably guessed by now why I named the poem "Best trip!"    Peter Toland.

Doodles

DOODLES. By peter toland. Doodles is a local kid he loves to play football, he's the best I've ever seen it's like he's standing six foot tall, if you try run past him he'll always make a tackle, I really don't know what it is it's like you're in a shackle. On the surfboard he is cool he's acting like no fool, it's Like a natural thing for him like paddling at the pool. Nothing seems to scare doodles he's always on the go, his adrenalin keeps him going with the flow. Sometimes he plays a zombie a funny one at that, or maybe he will lick your face pretending he's a cat. When he is on YouTube he wants to make you see, there's lot of examples in this world where people are not free. He'll make you see that people some people really care, and he'll also show you people that really are not fair. Doodles is a good kid he wants to make you smile, that is why to see him I would certainly walk for miles. Every day I see him he learns me more and more, I could listen to him for hours it would never be a bore. I wrote this rhyme for doodles you know who you are, I'm thinking of showing it to you when I am from afar. I say this to you doodles you stand out from the crowd, you are special and unique I know all your family's proud. Now one final message I will say to doodles boy, keep on smiling doodles you give us so much joy. I think so highly of you It hurts to say goodbye, that's why I wrote this poem so it wouldn't make me cry.         DOODLES is Ryan's new nickname, I think he likes it!  Ryan is my nephew I wrote this poem about him!

Colour Blind

In this world there is right and wrong, you can see it for real or in words of a song. Some people can only see just black and white, it's like tunnel vision they'll always be right. At the end of that tunnel where it's always night, they can't see that rainbow born of the sunlight. They live in the dark but it's very clear, they're not scared of the light it's their conscience they fear. Some people with power anything they may try, might try to demean you to cover a lie. Sometimes in this life we must stand up and fight, against those who supposedly are always right. They will try to break you right from the start, but they can't crush your spirit that lives in your heart. In the fullness of time we can look back and see, truth and justice to them kind it will not be. Slip inside the eye of your mind, you'll see the whole rainbow even if you're colour blind.
