Paula Glynn Poems

I am competitive by nature, so you lose, I win,
I owe you nothing, I work hard,
I am bull headed, I carry out difficult tasks,
I pull that tractor, I lift up that car,
...

I like candy, like bubblegum pop,
I like a fizzy sweet on my tongue,
That shocks the senses like a gobstopper,
And is sweet like Turkish Delight,
...

Written in the scars of this heart,
My heart has been battered and bruised,
I have been taken advantage of,
I have been alone and confused,
...

I love my ruby red slippers, she says,
Let the white light guide you,
Towards a peaceful, exotic garden,
And find yourself a solution,
...

I don't need that sugar,
But I do need sweetness,
But a sweetness from a pure heart.
I need guidence from a true love,
...

Plastic Barbie,
How a little girl learns to be a woman,
Lipstick and powder to paint the face,
War paint the norm,
...

Her hair is spun pure gold,
Her pink dress is woven of silk,
Her eyes sparkle with delight,
And the moon shines at the start of the night.
...

I love a cup of tea with a magazine and bar of chocolate,
My husband loves to have a cup of tea with his egg and newspaper,
And at work I make tea for all my colleagues,
And regularly have a refresher at lunch,
...

Gold glitters around my neck,
Like a beautiful noose,
Stating grandeur and wealth,
And I will walk in my party heels,
...

He calls me his candy girl,
And says he has a sweet tooth,
For I am the birthday girl,
That is too sweet to be used,
...
