Ladybug with loads of brilliant sass
Went night fishing and caught a bright blue bass
Show and tell worthy, the top of the class
She is pompous now, that arrogant …….
Dear Poet Soup..
A request, dare I ask,
Could you withdraw
Mysterious mask?
As if in Oz
I feel I am
But hope your wizardry
No sham
For I request
A feature fair
To pin a poem
In the air..
High up above
As if balloon..
(your coding skills
to make us swoon)
My favourite write
The 'child' of mine
Top of the class
My favourite rhyme
Please let me click
A box right >> here <<
To pick my fave. Thanks.
Yours Sincere..
Suicidal thoughts got me messed up
Stressed up, depressed bruh
This smile that am wearing is my personality getting dressed up
Tryna be the man for the occasion
The top of the class
I ain’t even the best me
Thinking hurts, sad is that
You know the deep late thoughts?
We all have them right?
Feels like my mind is against me
Tryna put up a tough fight
Looking at all those around
Family in my head causing me to hate
Just cos we share the same blood
It doesn’t mean that we relate
I’m here trying to live a full life
Grow old, stay strong
Do it all with my loving wife
Provide the best for my kids lives
Look after all the family
But how I supposed to fulfil a life,
If all I wanna do is die here tonight?
Your pins and needles adorn your face
your hair the colour of liquid grass,
your universe of hard knocks your grace
places you for me top of the class.

And so ends the lesson
As I go to the top of the class
For each time I fall over
I get up again and again
They say it’s the way of the world
But it seems some are able to coast
Whilst others swim against the tide
Do you make the choice
Or is the choice made for you.

Fantasy lives in a mirror, her beauty is made up of glass,
Like a princess trapped in a castle, beauty dwelling in the midst of trouble,
failure is now on top of the class.
Her hair grew as long as a tree in time, oops!, prince charming fell off the tower, down on his ass.
A dreamer from dusk till dawn he is, wishes are the testimonies of a CLOWN in crisis.
Twinkle, twinkle, wishing star, how you wonder rather too far,
fun to fly and float in space but risky to slumber on a bed in the sky.
Hurry!, jump up and fall back to town,
for the crown of a bird is not really its own.
Wake and Bake, work the talk,you'll discover elevators to make.
Connecting dreams to reality is a Masters stone the builder cannot fore sake.
Laziness is an opinion,rlife is a vision, seek and you shall find,
fortune and fame more abundant than night mares and sand.
The holidays are at an end
Lots of money we did spend
With trips away
Out for the day
Lots of fun
In the rare English sun
Day on a farm with lots of hens
And alpaca and pigs in there pens
A butterfly sanctuary with moths too
Showing wings that were bright blue
A trip to the beach
And play in the sea
Splashing in the water
My sister and me
A visit to the grandparents
With lots of treats
A trip to the cinema
With popcorn and sweets
A Barbeque at nanny's we then had
We helped cook with our grandad
Burgers and hot dogs and salad to eat
This was daddy's birthday treat
Dinosaur hunting we did go
Being careful and going slow
All the tracks we had to follow
Finding bones that were hollow
A train ride we had was exciting
The whistle blow was quite frightening
Back to Wiltshire was our trip
Mind the gap please don't slip
Now back at mummies
With stories to tell
Our summer holidays
Have been real swell
Back to school in our new gear
Top of the class have no fear
With reading and writing
And lots to do
I'm real glad I'm back to school
Holidays are over but fun was had
Great adventures with Mum and my Dad
Arrived with intention!
It's all up to me
To believe that I see
Destiny
In me beyond to be
Creativity
Clarity
Clarifying triumphantly
Across seas above mountains created for me
Rise I say sensibly
Rise stand tall above the galaxy
Stand taller than the blowing above leaves trees
Flying bumble bees
Smoked puffed out factories
Above imaginary imagery
Rise boldly
Know the
Comprehensive functions slowly
Know the wisdom gathered paved the way see
Understand your hand holds to be
Dimension directly
Transmitting favor lines of tapestry
Could it be
You have found what it really means
Mastering man made technologies
Answers be flowing massively
Destructing mid tone under tones mediocrity
Let's be
Honest honored graded apparently
Top of the class was always meant for they
Bravo standing want to be's
Lying like they had your back gotta be
Seriously
Confused clown mask wanna be
Rising higher than them yes they must see
Destiny
Evolved from untaught morality
Shine on electricity
During across waves of electrical seas
This is to be
Time released prophecy
Written before creation was created by an all knowing super power entity!
I have a new keyboard,
I hope it can spell,
the one it’s replacing
made typo’s like hell.
It couldn’t write English
without a mistake,
I hope this one’s better
for everyone’s sake.
Some say it’s the writer
I know that’s not true,
just look what I’m writing
it’s perfect right through.
So now I can go
to the top of the class
and all of my critics
can go kiss my ……..
Ivor G Davies
With respect there’s nothing to omit
saying I love you within these walls,
everything I write weaves in orbit
whilst time in haste reminds me and calls.
To you with eyes so bright hopes convey
confident from my heart words will pour,
oh gypsy in rags my poem will say
it’s not what I see that’s only the door.
Your pins and needles adorn your face
your hair the colour of liquid grass,
your universe of hard knocks your grace
places you for me top of the class.
If only to live this life again
staple us together lord, amen.
