Hello, why it’s been a long time, I didn’t even see you there, Funny, but I usually see you everywhere, It looks as though the years have treated you well, As for me, well there are a few stories I could tell Oh, I was just in town, passing through, Haven’t been here for aContinue reading “Someone I used to call a friend”

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”
Writing for life
Hope everyone is well and keeping safe. I am sitting by the river in the sunshine as I write this. Sure makes me feel life is good. Indeed, I like to walk or sit in the park and such like, especially when the weather is so nice. Makes me forget all my worries and issuesContinue reading “Writing for life”
Mind Changer
They accused me of selling out, They said I’d betrayed my own ideas, They said I backed down and turned around, They claimed I’d done it in fear, They were sure I was being cunning and sly, For it went against what I said last year, They claimed I was no longer true to myContinue reading “Mind Changer”
It May Be Tomorrow
Some days I feel I am bound for glory,It’s not long now,All my dreams will come to reality before me, Then days I doubt all that I am,The critics ring loud inside my head,The ex lover, or the former friend Just a talentless fool who is only fooling himself, There are so many reasons toContinue reading “It May Be Tomorrow”
Taken to the Dump
Put out the trash, All in the black sacks, Last year’s clothes, The old mobile phone, The broken photo frame, bought six years ago in Rome, Might as well throw in one broken heart, A lost soul, And also all the memories to go, Just like all the material things that mean nothing now, It’sContinue reading “Taken to the Dump”
First post this month
Slow Burn I packed up all my dreams, And locked them all away, I vowed never to try again, Not after I failed that way, For years I never looked back, I kept my desire at bay, I wouldn’t let it rise again, I always turned away, But the fire still burned, And slowly theContinue reading “First post this month”
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”
Home Brew
Served with 19th Century Georgian English Solid Silver, Or taken from paper cups, Drunk by royalty, politicians, working folk and even pups, Made to discuss important business, Or to solve the biggest of problems, A comfort, an indulgence, or to quench the longest thirst, It’s the very thing many people turn to first, Bring itContinue reading “Home Brew”
