Jaden Knight Poems

Fed up with people asking who my real parents are
as if it really matters to them
why should who they were affect people’s judgement of me
it’s not exactly as if they’re going to be at my wedding
...

He's going back to the oak by the river today
above the water fall where her favourite place was
the place where he last saw her prior to her departure
before everything changed for the worse
...

When I was an elephant
I made a football with my trunk
the arm let out a violent sneeze
and so created a ball of cheese
...

Today seems to very boring
nothing much is going on
despite the fact that my sea urchin shells
have adopted a shark for their son
...

Blood drips from the open palm
the hand silently cries
due to the pain it received
...

I found the best part of me
all alone in the dark
half dead and barely conscious
shivering in an now disused playground
...

Far beneath the surface of every ocean
travel the ghosts of every boat and ship
that has been lost at sea
since the dawn of time
...

Harken silly person and listen well
I am the voice of your fears
I speak to you in the dark of night
even when you try to close your ears
...

I woke up this morning feeling racist
so I went for a little run
came second in the 200m hurdles
just behind number 1
...

I’d known you for 7 years
and in that time we seemed
to get on real well together
you seemed to have had a good run of fortune
...
