Elsie Skelton Poems

Travelling through time and space,
The man who can change his face.
The man who is so loved and known
Is also the man who is so alone.
...

Hatred.
What did we ever do to you?
Living in fear,
Hearing the rumours of the dead.
...

Speak of the devil and he shall appear,
Surrounding your body, your loved ones with fear.
Drowning your thoughts, your feelings, your screams,
He is the hellion of your dreams.
...

Mr Dent,
I am sorry to say
That today is the day
We take your life away.
...

There was a young girl called Jelly,
She liked to watch the telly,
She did no harm,
Owned a potato farm,
...

Ben you're so funny,
Ben you're so cool,
Ben you're so clever,
Ben you're a fool.
...

The sky is crying,
The world is dying,
It's a beautiful revolution
With all the instruments of execution.
...

Summer
This creature can be pleasant, yet exhausting.
It will bound around gaily, but soon tire and take a restful interlude.
It brings an intelligible smile to all witness.
