I'm not too fond of the world today,
Too much rubbish and takeaway,
Nothing today is built to last,
Like the solid stone buildings of the past,
Comfortable homes with easy chairs
Axminster carpets on the stairs.
Wireless that was always on
Sadly this is almost gone.
Sterile apartments are now in fashion,
Chrome fittings and tiles are a passion,
For most who need a place to stay.
Comfortable homes have had their day.
Things today are not made to last,
Craftsmanship is a thing of the past.
There does not seem to be a rule of thumb,
For anything or anyone.
Solidarity is what we need,
No quicker fixes because of greed.
We all need to build a solid b oat,
That will unite us and keep us afloat.

axminster, 10th grade,
Form: Rhyme
The copper coloured leaves like rain fall.
Carpeting the floor better than the finest Axminster.
Every hue of yellow and brown just lay there.
Cushioning that dreaded walk to work.
Leaving skeletons silhouetted against the sky
To scare you on the way home, when autumn's sun has set .
It's raining like the gods are crying
at summers passing and seagulls dance against the pencil grey sky.
The grey slates on roof tops shine with autumn's rain
as you walk into work to begin yet another day.
