Born the sixteeth of july
Neither of us then to know
The sound of a babies cry
The birth of bambino
With a little button nose
Tiny hands and tiny feet
A struggle to find clothes
Fitting him nice and neat
As he was just so minute
But born a little premature
And he is just so cute
You cant help but adore
Six weeks ,five days early
Neither of us would know
Who we named Zachary
Often called little bambino
Written july august 2015 a tribute to son zack
This original full version of bambino...was not going to out on here at time as felt personal
Still trying to compute
The world around she
And looks so minute
A proper little dolly
Her smile hwr attribute
Makes people jolly
And their is no dispute
Image of her mum deferntly
No one one quite as cute
As could then be
And this a tribute
To my niece holly
Taken bits from poem
Zachary a tri bute to niece
Holly 2005 2012......
Scutiniseing my best endeaavour
But still l'd cease the opertunity
Not knowing as to wheather
I would then find my destiny
But now that we're togeather
Of course their is you and me
Just like birds of a feather
But now you, l and Zachary
That is always and forever
Joined now in unity
As always togeather
Two point three
Old idea came from poem you and me
From 2015....
Watching him roll his eyes
Unsure what to make of you
Though still he often tries
Still unsure what to do
Hearing his laugths and cries
Everything around him new
Singing to him sweet lullbies
Or often playing "peekaboo"
Guess the world in his eyes
Is an uncomplicated view
When seeing him a suprise
Now what is he up to
A tribute to Zachary taken from poem
New arrival 2014 written 2020
Struggling to compute
The world thats around he
Just looks so minute
But born prematurly
Their is no one as cute
As could though be
His smile his attribute
That always brings glee
And their is no dispute
Image of his mum defantly
And this is a tribute
To our little Zachary
Taken from a bigger verse poem called
New arrival 2014 written this one 2021
Perhaps Dr. Smith was misunderstood…
Sciatica got the goat of the stowaway.
Don’t be fooled, his intentions were not good.
He’d shield himself in cowardly betray.
Courageous Will and no nonsense robot -
Dr. Smith would cower behind and scream.
This family Robinson knows what’s what.
Most of them will save the man with a scheme.
Hot-headed Don, longs to disarm the doc.
Poor Dr. Smith! Poor Dr. Zachary Smith!
His back aches. Why give his body a shock?
To dig his own grave? Kid’s missing, been with
him (in trouble). Mums, “Oh, the pain! The pain!”*
Doc briefly consults his own stethoscope,
checks his heart - he’s not completely insane.
Save face or hang himself with his own rope?
Hello,
This is obviously the first time that I have written a poem as I’m sure you will all be able to tell. I just need an outlet and wanted to try something new. Please give me your honest feedback.
As I stated into the deep blue ocean,
My truth was finally awoken.
As waves are briskly brushing, I realise I am nothing.
I am used. I am broken.
I am powerless. I am hated.
I am gullible, always vulnerable.
Always Weak.
Your voice, your whisper impaled my ear,
I am now forever in fear.
Depressive episodes never far in the distance,
You ruined my confident, joyful exsistance.
As the day draws to a close,
I always take a huge dose.
The pain, it numbs
My mood, it brightens.
Overdose will always be a fear,
Though not as much as knowing you are near.
Thank you for reading,
Please provide feedback below.

His name sounds like water
like waves on the sea
like a summer breeze in the tallest tree
Zachary, Zachary, Zachary
His face is pure white
he has a beautiful smile
he is the romantic candle in darkness
He is the sound of the poem
the sound of the music
the rhythm of rhyming words
He came and casted a spell
he came and showed his existence
Even though he's too far
I remember every action of his
Him laughing and smiling
Geez, his warmest hug
his charming face
I don't know what to say
He's unexplainable
he's a dictionary itself
he's as pretty as a picture
They are right when they say
love drives you crazy
love makes you blind
love makes the world go around
A fine country squire name of Zachary,
Made a fortune in his haberdashery.
The ladies and gents,
Put out a fair pence,
In return for the good squire's advisory.
He fancied a dowager lady,
Known as quiet, fastidious Miss Sadie.
She was quite a good looker,
Also a good cooker,
But there was two sides to this lady.
The squire did call on Miss Sadie.
Demurely she promised him maybe,
They could have tea,
Beneath the Oak tree,
And he began seeing her daily.
One week was all that it took,
And the squire was firmly hooked.
He lost lots of weight,
In one week of dates,
'Cause Sadie really knew how to cook.

Accepts all flaws as they are
Believes in one self ability
Comes to every students needs
Dedicate his efforts willingly
Enjoy the company of students
Fail not to attend lecturers everyday
Gives ears and shoulders to cry on
He is an inspiration
Improves all lessons beyond
Just some words to tell all about him
Keeps you close to his heart
Laughs with students and hugs students
Make students his friends
Over appreciative
Points out students efforts and mistakes
Quick to say "I am sorry "
Reliable to ask questions
Smiles all the time
Teaches for all to understand
Unique is the best word for you
Very energetic
Well dressed to impress
X termly perfect
Yes, you are my best teacher
Zachary is his name
Oh joy! Oh bliss! Oh crêpe suzette!
— Dr. Zachary Smith Lost In Space
MISSING EARTH
exclamatory eeks of terra ferma.
Oh meddlesome bother oh heartbreak!
extreme scripted screams: ah ah ahhhh, almost
a sneeze. a snodular lunicious decrepitabilty,
a blunderous crustacean of ineptabilty.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Feel joy that cheers the way of poise,
Opt to breathe light in touch of grace;
Note how love steers your fragrant voice,
Dream of grand sights that flood your space.
Home greets your heart with vibrant peace,
Observe warm smiles as blessings flow;
Meet sparkling art with ample ease,
Etch touch that styles what soul now shows;
Charm finds you well with echoes fond,
Outline deep thrill of flourish then;
Mind crafts sweet dwell to greet new dawn,
Indulge great fill beyond just when;
Now and here see pleasant chimes rhyme,
Glimpse what must be such precious times.

On a year-long study tour in Canberra, Australia.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Loiter with grace
Stretch learning pace
Absence feels sad
Pain ponders glad
Away from home
Read foreign tomes
Work study course
Flavour right cause
Quest helps ponder
Gift of wonder
Style precious time
Watch prompt flair chime
A broken heart
Greets healing start
Each moment seize
A lasting squeeze
Do what you do
Feel your soul cue
Rainbow and rain
Colours arch plain
Absence marks fond
Grand thoughts love spawns
