The River kept its Promise —
Until the sudden Hour —
A Crest — of secret Thunder —
Betrayed its guarded Power —
The Bank — became a river —
The Meadow — lost its Floor —
And I — within the Current —
Could cling to Land — no more —
The Water clasped me — closer —
Than any Human Arm —
It whispered Flood’s Forever —
Yet strangely lent me Calm —
To yield — became my Shelter —
To drown — became my Breath —
Inside the Warm Abundance —
Three wide and six feet down --
I learned the Shape of Death.

David is Northern Ireland’s very first representative,
In a Cerebral Palsy 7-a-side Paralympic footy team;
He was so impressed by London 2012 assertive,
That he asked his managers about the GB team.
Just graduated from Queens University, Belfast,
In Computing and Information Tech, he’s a ‘90s child,
He captained the Northern Ireland football cast,
At the 2015 Worlds in St Georges Park - he’s a mild.
“Football had a big influence on my life growing up
…It helped me overcome [the] difficulties I [had]
growing up with a disability. It taught me to [rise up],
not to let my disability get in the way [of what I had]”.

Sigh no more- by William Shakespeare
Original one ...
Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more,
Men were deceivers ever,
One foot in sea, and one on shore,
To one thing constant never,
Then sigh not so,
But let them go,
And be your blith and bonny,
Converting all your sounds of woe,
Into hey nonny, nonny
Sigh no more ditties, sigh no mo
Of dumps so dull and heavy
The fraud of men was ever so
Since summer first was leavy,
Then sigh not so,
But let them go,
And be your blith and bonny,
Converting all your sounds of woe,
Into hey nonny, nonny
Kimo form - 10/7/6 written by me , inspired by , poem 'Sigh no more' by William Shakespeare
Men known for inevitable beguile,
Why lament for betrayal ?
Don't ever lose your sheen !
O girl set your emotions to repress,
Let go of him rather grieve,
Retain alluring been !
Inconstant affections keep them going,
Why take delude to your heart,
Girl ! it's in their nature !

who can fix a soul,
a soul as black as coal,
a soul thats lost it's meaning,
and now is left undone.
my soul feels so heavy,
like a flood against leavy.
who can fix my soul.

THE 12 ANNO-DUODECIMALISATION PERIODS
Wintric time is now slippopherous and the slithey snowlerimon
Is experiented with the newly-arrived vernality in the air.
His triple anno-duodecimalisation period is in terminfication
Which has megaramifications and blerious implifications bare
For the floracious and faunacious spread of life-and-growthicity
The next few anno-duodecimalisation periods will encertain
The success of the seminal vesicles of herbatorial and floribundial growthity
And the ground-coveration will soon be overspread with leavy-fruitain.
Treedonry, tall and gloribundant shall castigate their shadowsmith
Across meadowfields so mertile and bloductive. Soon the triple
Anno-duodecimalisation of the pre-wintric time will proviso us with
All the beautiflic and delicioned harverted produce from our farmliple:
Making us readified for the oncoming wintric time, a periodontary
Of slippopherous and slithey snowlerimon, coldpainly beyond comparicary.
