Paula Glynn Poems

The Jammie Dodger
With raspberry jam at its sweet heart
With gooey deliciousness in its centre
The biscuit sweetly and addictively crunchy.
...

I saw him across a crowded room
He made my excited and lonely heart boom
His smooth strong and athletic body
Blew me away with his white perfect teeth
...

I loved sunny and enchanting Sweden
I loved growing up in Sweden
Those were the days of my life
Summer in Sweden such a joy
...

The ship of fools
A celebration of fools
Ghosts of the deceased celebrating
Those ancient classmates
...

I fight myself daily
I curse my good fortune
I lie to myself
I abuse my own needs
...

If I am oblong,
I am oblong.
If I am a circle,
I am a circle.
...

The name Towcester to come from
The Roman name Lactodorum
Located on Watling Street
Known today to be the A5
...

Today's treasure is tomorrow's trash
Where we flash our cash
The material world
Adding allure for every boy and girl
...

The lipstick once vibrant fuchsia
Now left faded and smeared
On those lovely and luscious lips
Lips that spoke romantic words
...

I live the apartment life
Where my quiet neighbours
Look through curtained windows
And know all that they can see
...
