Paul Warren Poems

Long ago in 1930 Clyde Tombaugh discovered Pluto orbiting around
So when they planned IN 2006 to send New Horizons space bound
NASA sent a special delivery letter to him asking for his permission
To visit his planet Pluto on their long outer space discovery mission

Does it come by eureka shout?
When the idea just pops out
Maybe it’s a friendly whisper in your ear
Where it slowly builds to you to endear
...

When I need back up and there is evil around
Will you stand with me?
When it is not safe and I need to stand my ground
Will you stand with me?
...

Who can say what the conclusion will bring?
When it plays out and in the end it may sting
You see it out and ensure you stay ‘til the end
To consider every thrust or knife point to defend
...

We stand together in uniforms pressed clean
To honour a mate who is no longer seen
The Police band drums are draped in black
We march along behind the hearse on the cemetery track
...

When thinking what to write
And to get it all down alright
Give a little bit of yourself
And not leave it on the shelf
...

Asleep one night in bed he laid
With his home in security made
But his bedroom window was open
As a hot night it was hard to be copping
...

Linc and his partner were tasked to find
A person shooting a gun in an area defined
As he turned the patrol car into the street
A shot rang out in the night not too discrete
...

I’m alone in the night on the road
I’m carrying such a heavy load
I remember the good times with you
I was a fool to think they were through
...

Nightly on our television screens you see
All the violence in the wide world to be
The internet is full of dark horrible things
Of deaths, explosions or disasters to it brings
...
