Best Euros Poems

He sat there in his fav'rite chair, a blanket 'cross his lap 
And covering his snow white hair was his old fishing cap. 
I knew he could not talk to me since suffering the stroke, 
But still I sensed he could relate to ev'ry word...

When crisp Anemoi swerve in my mind
and gently rouse, oh ‘pon the fair moonlight,
I raise my cheeks  to taste the dew, refined 
through quivers of the ever- threading night. 

And copper-like, my senses, mildly clothed
with fibrils circling traces on warm flesh;
this zephyr cool, guiding...

I balance my illicitly obtained bottle of absinthe from a man who knows a man, for an exorbitant amount of Euros, on the worn wooden windowsill of my topmost room at the rundown pension overlooking the harbour. Next to it, I place my well-thumbed copy...

Going on a tram to Lattes*,
the tram rails winding this and that,
but first, Montpellier was seen.
Tall buildings, cream and white,
and the sight of seagulls
near bright sea.

Best day was to be had in Lattes,
and ice-cream from bow-fronted shop.
Eight euros then to pay...
Tall buildings, monochrome,
and the sight...

TIPPY TAPPY FOOTBALL

Tippy tappy football, I hear the pundits say
That's not proper football, that's not how you play
Tippy tappy football, now what's that all about?
Why can't they play like our lads and take the player out

Tippy tappy football, it's a generation thing
Six players through the...

They Called Him Diamond

They called him Diamond still do and his colour is black like 
scorched earth frozen shadows of hell shafted and grafted on 
his scarred broken shoulders deprived of not only his name 
made void and exploited for jewels in the crown of...

Waiting in line, 
Before the ATM of closed banks for 60 Euros to withdraw under the scourging sun  
Old and invalid people are submitted to this daily torture, constantly moaning, for Our country’s suffering and for our own devastation, 
While twenty-seven percent the unemployment...

Boreas laughs and of his power we will know
His breath in anger, a white blanket appears 
He breathes out the north wind and snow
The master of cold and snow it appears

Zephyrus the calm one, sprinkles hope from the west 
The bringer of hope, the father...

David can often be seen hot on the trail, 
Of Richard Whitehead, sprinter, runner, 
And was reported in Rio de Janero’s mail, 
As the 200m bronze medalist, stunner.

He went to St George Catholic College, 
Located in Southhampton, that busy port, 
Attended Hertfordshire Uni on the...

Unquotable quotes: Beggars - ***

Who said beggars cannot be choosers?

Who chooses for them the place, the moment or the people they choose to beg from; the hours of the begging day; the alms they refuse; the advice they brush aside; the language they use –...

9/11
The world trade towers,
The pentagon and the white house.
Attack THEM, they are evil.
The government that protects the oil corps.
The American Government uses its military to steal oil.
Socialize the losses and privatize the profits. 
Stupid, confused, Americans.  
Israel is an American military base
1948, 
Control the...

As the screaming Sirocco swept the sands,
Suffocating the Shiekh's Sixth Sick Sheep,
It's sister, Simoon, soon sought to strike
The sweat-suffering Sultan's sweet sleep.
Then came the Khamsin, and  Calima, too,
- Dust-devils, Diabolos, Lavaan, Loo!

Angered, Aeolos, King of the Air,
Council called up with him in chair
Boreas, Euros,...

If you seek to fully understand,
This complex human jam,
You just need a ticket in hand,
To fly to Amsterdam!

History walks the streets here,
In every pavement stone,
You find friendship and cheer,
 On every face In town!

Watch the cyclist to the right,
They have the right of way,
Trams, buses...

“Anything can be achieved if you set your mind to it.” 
Kim was born with the rare disease Poland’s syndrome, 
Which means that he has abnormal or missing muscles, 
On the left side of his chest wall, but surgery did tone. 

A student of Medicine...

Rob played semi-professional rugby, 
From when he was 4 until the age of 21, 
When he got a serious spinal cord injury, 
Whilst playing that rough game spun. 

As part of his rehabilitation sessions, 
At Rookwood Hospital, exists in Cardiff, 
He played table tennis for...
