Long Grandad Poems

You know when you are growing up

The stages you go through

Make you the way you are

They help to make you...YOU

The people who you deal with

Whether family or your friends

Are very influential

And they're with you 'till...

By the window to view, a garden so grand.

In December I’d see, a blanket of white,
As...

Dear Future Self,

Hello! How are you?
What is life like for you now?
Did you accomplish what you wanted to?
Was I right to conclude, at now 28,
That the experiences you went through
Have brought you to a special...

Grandad The Superhero

My grandad was a superhero,
You would not think it true,
For now he’s old and very slow,
And he only wears one shoe.

He used to soar across the sky,

Childhood memories,making camps upon the moors
 wriggling through the bracken deep,
Making paths to our secret den.
Climbing trees,and falling too!
Moss on stones, glistening sun on stepping stones,
Swimming in the river...with a shiver.

Roly poly down the hill,...

You think you're Godzilla 
but you're just a Gorilla,
that's what happens when you've got gonorrhea,
my skin colours vanilla

One day my grandad slipped away,
His face sunk into a waxy, pale grey,
With a sudden stillness and a wave of your hand,
You have ventured off into an undiscovered land,
If only I could go back to...

I was a child, yes, even little old me, 
curious and happy, my smile wild with glee. 
But at the tender age of seven, 
I learnt that family go to heaven. 

My aunt, a distant,...

Each time my Auntie Rosa went to shop in the High Street,
She’d bring us back a pink-iced bun; it was our special treat.
We’d take them up to Grandad’s (we preferred to eat them there)
We’d scoff...

The Shed...

was Granddad's before he died.
And now its loneliness reached out to the boy
from the shaded, shuffling shadows 
that shushed the sheltered garden.
They pulled and tugged at his guilt-filled absence
until he slink-slunk down through the...

A boy named Dustin learned to mend,  
Born to a mother, young and alone,  
With dreams in her heart, but a heavy stone.
