Short Revelled Poems

An alien came to earth called James
Looking for a New Jersey dame
    He found one on the soup
    Amidst this amazing troop
And revelled at her writing fame...

I've always loved to read
I picked it up to drown everything out
I let my mind wander to new lands
while they revelled in my silence 
I've always longed to be a part of something
when I learnt that I was the odd one out
I planned what I would say
once they could finally see me
Now I fear to hold on to the hope
that my world is only temporary
that I'll be perceived
that I am real...

CRUMBLING WORLD

              My world was good
        with you beside me day by day.
      Together I was certain that we could
        beat the world, come what may.
  I revelled in the situation, heaven-sent.
  But then, no explanation as to what it meant,
    you simply slammed the door and went.
  So now my world has crumbled like decaying wood

Jeter Derek: the legendary champ
led the Yankees to a sensational victory,
defeating the Phillies
at City Field in the 2009 World Series!
And the crowds revelled
from their stands;
and he waved his hand,
and smiled proudly,
holding and cradling the championship trophy...
driving all the ladies wild! 
Jeter Derek made history 
by planning a clincing game,
over the opponents to break Lou Gehrig's record...
and all the thrill glowing on his face,
was also a thrill of mine!...

Not so many years ago
I revelled in rebellion, 
Derided seniors 
In sportsmobiles,
Comfortable bellies on 
Wheels.  Waistcoat 
Fillers.  Surreptitious 
Pint spillers. 

But now I sit and scoff 
At youth and all its 
Awkward agonising 
Over lack of truth. 

Merrily I mow the lawn 
And curse because I 
Can't get my wellies on. 
And my wife orders me 
To buy a larger pair. 
And I cry 'No!' and 
She groans and I ignore 
Her as I turn the telly on
And I revel in my rebellion....
