Every single Friday night,You and the band have kept it tight,For nine whole years,While the audience watch as they drink their beers, Some play pool in the back room,Others dine in the room next door,Often a hardcore crowd gather near the stage,Usually twelve or more, Your dreams of world acclaim, seem as far today asContinue reading “The Club Act”

Riptide
I remember the day the waves began to rise,It didn’t really matter,I was sure they would subside, Just a matter of time,Then everything would settle as before, Though I was hurt I didn’t worry,We’d soon be holding each other once more, I didn’t see it coming,It was a riptide,It seems nothing could have survived, IfContinue reading “Riptide”
Greatest Hits Album
Memories in one package,That unlike us never age,Time flies,But the melody never dies, It’s captured forever,And can change never, In your bedroom,We sat listening for hours,In that summer full of showers, We were still too young to go to the show,But every word we sang I still know, We stood out side the shop hoursContinue reading “Greatest Hits Album”
Flying Free
I’m bearing allWhile standing tallGot knocked downBut recovered the fall Now I rise up and won’t go downIt’s gonna still be hardBut I’m willing to play my cards I’m flying freeThe breeze will only come from under me I’m flying freeAnd I’m all I should be No chains will be able to tame meNo rulesContinue reading “Flying Free”
Back In Time
Yesterday I came across my diary,Not that I keep one anymore,Maybe I should haven’t opened the door,But I didn’t think that far behind,Before I knew it I was back in time, There was the world I’d forgotten,Full of places, people and the things I’ve lost,All the dreams and plans that once were mine,Here I wasContinue reading “Back In Time”
The flower 🌼
Flower in the garden, Planted with care, Attended to in the soil, Watered for and fed, Springs up, Full bloom, Appreciated right there, For sale sign placed in ground, People move out, New move and build a home, Lawn moved over, Flower in the ground shredded and tossed, all its beauty lost. ©Rob Spencer 2021
Natural Disaster
Looking for a world I remember, One I used to know, It wasn’t perfect And I’ve got memories to show, But love was easy to find, A friend was around and often kind, There was a new dawn every day, Optimism lead the way, The weathered storm came and went, Much of the population were farContinue reading “Natural Disaster”
Gina’s Bakery
A small town bakery, That no one seems to remember but me, I sat there in ’96 with a Bakewell and a cuppa tea, The world moved slower, At least that is how it seemed, No phone, no wi fi, no place else I had to be, Time didn’t wait, And it never does, ButContinue reading “Gina’s Bakery”
Signal
Red man at the crossing, Just waiting for the traffic to clear, Any second it will go, And I’ll be out of here, Waiting for his green colleague, To tell me when it’s right to go, To cross over the road, To carry on and move ahead, To what lies in the future, I’m readyContinue reading “Signal”
Tiger 🐅
I’ve got the eye of the tiger, That’s what the song says, I can go on and win, They tell me I’m a survivor, It was so easy to believe it when I was younger, When I had so much ahead, I’d listen to the song or watch the film, One day I was goingContinue reading “Tiger 🐅”
