Haiku poem topics/everything and anything/you write no damn rules
Selfish Poet The writer was unhappy with the situation Both of himself and his country So instead of writing for the cause And to make things better He did the ultimate sin and topped himself After writing his girlfriend a touching love poem Which would make anyone cry Just like what he did to himself When he jumped into a deep ravine Falling 500 feet to his death As he fell did he regret jumping? Leaving a nation in pieces And ex girlfriend who feels betrayed What the poet did was not the actions of love
My 80s Times
Living at Highfield Terrace in the 80s was cool
Ok I never had a sexy galfriend who did anything
But I had plenty of mates I drank beer with
I got dressed up to go clubbing in town
Drinking in pubs and clubs that are not dust
I listened to my music – The Bangles, Def Leppard and Suzi Vega
I hiked in my spare time finding old warplane wreck sites
And was in the Air Cadets getting ready for my Air Force career
This was before I became self aware and went crazy
Rebelling against everything which made me stronger
I collected enemies like old coins but was never defeated
My defiance rose like a climbing Spitfire
And the wrong jobs beckoned for 2 long years
In which I fucked the Air Force off for
DO NOT TELL ME WHAT TO FUCKING DO!!!
I street raced cars and wrecked them like confetti
Not long after I got the wrong gal up the duff
That can happen on your first time!
At someone else’s house with beer and no rules
I lived at High Field Terrace and life was a riot
Going on the dry ski-slope with Perspex from school windows
Throwing stones at the real skiers and cars
Putting firework rockets in a pipe and Bazooka!
We aimed at the skiers and cars on the road
Those were mixed times and I remember them well
