Paul Warren Poems

Look within yourself
What is your inner wealth
Is it your staying power
Where you are at your finest hour
...

Red dirt track ahead
Clouds of red dust in my head
Choking hay fever bred.
...

There was my father who built his house
After the Second World War Navy Service
He made the bricks, dug trenches and did it all
Raising his brood the largest family on the street
...

During the Great War Australians fought under the Union Jack
But a group of Newcastle women decided the troops that

Fought the war on the Western Front against the Germans
...

I like to remember the simple things
The simple things that happiness brings
Take it up for what it is in those times
And they don't fade from the lines
...

Warriors standing there ground
Doing magic all around
Creatures against the Great Wall
Fighting hard is their call
...

One thing I have learnt
Through the years
Is knowledge needs to be earnt
And sometimes through tears
...

Confrontation is always hard
When they want the whole nine yards

Trying to get the anchor point
...

In the middle of winter
You lament the warm sun
In the middle of summer
You lament the cooling breeze
...

Strange but true stories I read
That are curious as they are bred
Finding an explanation of it all
Will enhance the story in recall
...
