Hallow Halloween it’s nice of you to call once again

It’s been a whole long year since you have been around

Things have been frightfully quiet for far too long

I am looking forward to being scared silly by an eerie sound

Put a wicked spell on me well I’ll be doomed and damned

Bewitch me and lure me to your cursed coven

Chop me up alive and kicking into bite sized pieces

Cook m...

I ambled down a winding country lane on a crisp October morn

Light on my feet and in the world without a single care

The mist hovered gently above the solitary fields

A robin flew tentatively by soaring on a wing and a prayer

The trees swayed in rhythm dancing in the brisk breeze

On the hazy horizon the sun rose from its slumber lair

Bursting through the heavens to light up the t...

You caught my eye on the 8:04

Admiring you is not against the law

It felt so good now I want more

A twinkle in your eyes I surely saw

You sat opposite me without a care

Fingers running through your hair

You gazed at me with a secret smile

I kept my composure all the while

My heart was beating like a drum

Butterflies in my stomach flying

Light headed and knees going we...

Joe public, hey mister, my brother, yo sister, father figure,

Mother of mine, big bad world, all I need is patience and time,

You feel me?

October 10 is the date on the wall – hear what I say

World mental health day all the way

It ain’t an easy ride listen up people

My head is hurting in a real bad way

I suffer with fear humiliation and alienation

I cope the best way ...

Sweden is the country that now stands before us

We will play our hearts out for our kingdom

England take to the field as the nation holds its breath

We have no time for the Stockholm syndrome

In Samara we go into another memorable battle

90 minutes will hopefully be enough to make the last four

If it goes to extra time or a penalty shootout

England's men will show the Scandina...

I thought football was rather overrated

Its players spoilt and highly overpaid

Then I watched the game last night

As an entire country held on tight

It was going to be a rather bumpy ride

Game on and nowhere left to hide

My heart and soul were in my mouth

Blood pressure going through the roof

Heartache and despair in the minute of 94

As Columbia strike and level the scor...

The name is Kane – Harry Kane

Licensed to entertain and thrill

The pitch lays before us a field of dreams

I lead my men into battle and I don’t flinch

In the vast land of Russia we prepare for war

We will fight for every yard and not give an inch

Our destiny is in our hands and at our feet

To lift the world cup is our ultimate goal

One game at a time a band of brothers shin...

Something is stirring in a sleepy Windsor town

I heard it on the grapevine an event is going down

The castle is the venue that’s what the people say

Pomp and ceremony is definitely the order of the day

Folk from near and far make merry in the overflowing streets

The sun in all its splendour smiles down to make the day complete

Tears of delight and happiness they are regally shedd...

After putting in a shift at St Mary’s hospital

This medical student was on a mighty mission

At Paddington station he boarded the Oxford train

He was determined to show the world and assert his position

With the help of his friends Chris Brasher and Chataway

They toed the line to set the pace on the Iffley Road track

History and destiny was in their hands and at their feet

The ...

A learned man of wisdom and of wit

He took a keen interest in our posts

Supportive and generous comments

Were given freely by mine host

I always felt privileged to be chosen

For a genuine response to my creation

A glass I raise as we bid you farewell

You will be missed across the literary nation

A writer and poet through and through

You nurtured us and we have grow...
