Paul Butters Poems

"Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds,
The Beneficent, the Merciful.
Owner of the Day of Judgement,
Thee (alone) we worship;
...

I'm no author, novelist or poet.
I'm just Me,
And don't I know it.
I don't need to be classified,
...

Season of sun and sand and sea,
Holiday time for you and me.
Daylight right ‘til ten o’clock,
Don’t forget to wear sun-block.
...

Cloud-hatted mountains loom over the cold lochs
As waterfalls drop
Into cool pools.
Cascading water shooshing and rushing,
...

My mind meanders down those endless lanes
Then soars to realms beyond the stars.
Imagination knows no bounds
Amongst the multiverses that make up
...

What's poetic about a foundry worker's son,
Born and bred in Leeds, now idling my time away
In a rinky dink seaside town? What's poetic
About sitting on my laptop reading Facebook
...

Make your poems Memorable,
That's what I say.
No need to be incredible,
Just let them play.
...

In Poemhunter Land I am your prey,
Wherever you are,
In the Milky Way,
Or beyond!
...

We seek another Mother Earth,
Another Planet Plenty:
A World within a Goldilocks Zone,
Snuggled up
...

Dream on, my friend,
Like me.
Of a future Heaven on Earth,
Or even just a Heaven.
...
