Paul Warren Poems

Do your duty as you can see
It is quite easy as it can be
You know right from wrong
But the pressures of working
...

It was 1940 and the British few
Were fighting against the Luftwaffe as they flew
In the Battle of Britain as so much was owed
To the RAF as the air battle over Britain flowed
...

The gun to the destroyer was taken off
At the end of the war when it was pensioned off
It had seen the Pacific Battles and made its name
As the HMAS Arunta against the Japanese game
...

A land of contrasts from blue ocean to dusty plains
The hot sun scorches earth and the sweeping rain remains
Waving golden wheat on an undulating landscape transpires
Rocky crests in weathered mountain ranges add craggy spires
...

Leave your light on tonight
For I have finished the fight
But the road has been long
And I've done more than get along
...

DNA technology makes our past come alive
Where old stories of our origins are only jive
It has shown that the mother of the world
Came from Central Africa as the DNA has held
...

Just run it off the Commissioner said
It works for me without needing to dread
But I still see the child's pleading face
That we had to leave alone in the devil's grace
...

You say you want to be happy
Or to search and find happiness
But how do you do it and make sad go away
All you need is to focus on the good things
...

Maxie the family spanner cat is a strange one
He prances around like he has already won
As a cat he is white all over and fluffy to see
And as a mate to the dog he doesn't tolerate easily
...

The full length mirror hung on the back of the door
Of her bedroom wardrobe holding clothes and more
She keeps it tidy with a place for her things neatly hung
She liked clothes and kept herself trim in a dress this day for fun
...
