Paul Reed Poems

No longer the tread of pit boots
Helmets left on the rack
A grey gloomy sky surmounts all
They won't be coming back
...

'Four seasons fill the measure of the year

There are four seasons in the mind of man'
...

Vaping is better than tobacco
So we were told yesterday
But now there is an alternative view
Now its just as bad they say
...

Aira Force beckoned us to go and see
It's source amongst the Lakeland hills
It's tranquil setting of historic note
Where Wordsworth spied his daffodils
...

How long is January, you ask
Because it seems an endless wait till Spring
And the days when every little thing
Seems so much better;
...

Happiness is just around the corner
Where sun-dappled streams tinkle like bells
And the morning breeze caresses the fells
Happiness is just around the corner
...

I am in the world
I was born today
Along with my brothers and sisters
Some black, some white, some grey
...

You lay there, waiting for us
In the tranquil sun-sparkled water
Sleepy and embedded
In your stoney hauteur
...

'In 300 yards turn left' she said
I wasn't used to being led
But I wanted to keep on the right track
I trusted SatNav to get me there and back
...

I know it’s just the blink of an eye
Ten years will come and just pass me by
Just as the last decade I now gaze upon
Ten years will come and soon be gone
...
