Best Liverpool Poems

Soup and scouse
Permeate a house
Odors causing wet teeth.
The ingredients in these mixtures are not all sweet.
Some are quite bitter, even sour, on their own.
They do however improve  the mix to no end.
I've had added to scouse through several days
and what started as cabbage soup...

Liverpool

When night ends, the fog begins
Heavy as lead!
Shrouding the town:
Once grand
And home of grandeur.
The grand mansions
of old times!
Now in ruins: off white!
Harboring the ghosts of 
The grandeur!
Who would have lived in a house 
Like this?
My mind wanders;
The eye of my mind 
Looking through the silver...

THE   LEAVING   OF   LIVERPOOL


Giant  ferry berthed in  Mersey River :
Tugs  take the strain with a shiver, 
Ropes creak and we cast off  -
She timorously inches away from the wharf.  
Bow comes round and leaves...

A misfit in Liverpool 
I think of oranges saw a painting by Constable of a morning sun 
that looked like blood orange dripping nectar down on some 
fishermen trying to catch eels on the dark surface in the bay.
There were sail-ships too ready to hoist...

A day in the life of the 96

I heard the news today, Oh lord
About 96 humming birds
Breathing in the miracle heard

And though the news was rather sad
I had to laugh

A crowd of people stood and stared
And seemed to mouth the words
Justice for our dead

I saw...

Oh second hand counting time
upon the liver building gothic clock
Waving goodwill to her dearly departed 3 sister's
Starring gainly upon lady mersey set a blitz

Climbing up her red bricks
Of the old abandoned mill's
And lighting up her failing dock yards

My mother loved you
My father hated growing up...

Since John and Paul first met in high school,
we have had decent success playing in Liverpool.
There was some tragedy we went through.
The worst was the passing of our dear friend, Stu.
However, our music is still popular today.
We were polled number one by far and away.
The...

Oh chestnut candy horse mane
Do your top button up blow the 
red rum fluff away and jump the 
brook

As I find it in the quiet best in-between
when the traffic stops at red lights

To detect the frequency of the waves 
pitching and cresting from the blades
and...

The Tale of the Liverpool Blitz

Mill Road Hospital took a Direct Hit
On the Maternity Ward indiscriminately killing Pregnant Women and new-born children 

Reduced the City , Docks and Quarter's to smouldering ashes

Blew the Malachant into a Billion
Shrapnel pieces the quake could be
heard over 3 miles...

The first smell of rain hitting city walls
Before slipping down into guttery streams
Heavy drops splattering layers of ashes and dirt
Causing clouds to clot in noses of newly wet children
Wet soot snots that run so black  memories keep coming back
Like scabs on bare and dirty...

Born into the city I love to call home
Feelings of uncertainty sometimes alone
Staring to the sky looking for a bright star
Life passing you by near or far

Life in the city has not always been ideal
Use your inner courage to keep it all real
Day by day...

Friends come gather around 
There is a young soul that must be found 
Travelling the air 
Complaining life wasn’t fair 
Trying not to scare 
Being daunting 
In his haunting 
Only a few months old 
Buried in the sands we are told 
Somewhere called Beauty Spot...

I kicked the world lay at my feet
the wrong way down a one way street
I kicked and kicked and didn’t stop
until I reached the paper shop
and thought my journey was complete.

Between the headlines of defeat
Liverpool's team was in retreat
hearing the call from Jürgen Klopp
I kicked...
