My Poetic Life
My experience as a new poet;
Based on my life, and my need to show it,
My growing up, and my family life,
The interference's, disturbances and strife.
Mine and friends pains, hurts, and love,
All this and the strength to grow above.
Some harsh words about my future ex-wife.
Romance that started and stunted my life.
My praise to our wonderful natural earth,
All around us but not recognised for its worth,
The wind cleaning up, and suns beauty,
The splendour of a rainbow and its sensational duty.
A snail’s hard trail of life and its role,
And it’s aim with a simple goal.
Being a doormat and being stepped on,
Only to be ignored and replaced and gone.
My relationship with my daughter,
The alienation and innocent laughter,
My love and devotion to her,
And promises I will keep for sure.
The passing of my brother,
the sadness for the family and mother.
Deep and dark unexplained minds thoughts,
Overwhelming my inner self, like rots.
Some erotic passionate poems,
Leaving some readers; with groans or moans.
I thanked God for our Earth and help with my future ex-wife,
So maybe, and here's hoping I will have a better afterlife,
These are my poems and more to follow I hope,
Will attract readers to my new lives, wives and uphill slope.
