Paul Warren Poems

Drive in theatres in 1976 were the rage
When couples met in summers made
And Whyalla had its own one too
On Fridays and Saturdays audiences it drew
...

Hold on tight
To your dreams
As the right
To your future sunbeams
...

What is wrapped in a medal
Of deeds that showed their metal
Blood, bayonets and battle had
For mates, for right against the bad
...

Have an idea in your head
Don't dry up as you dread
Continue to write without a block
Surely there is more to say or mock
...

Working for the man every day
Getting up to the grind in every way
He stayed to the task for his family
As we remember him so easily
...

What makes people laugh
Is it the absurdity of a gaff
Or a funny line said at the right time
Is it the freshness of something fine
...

Evil thoughts are just electricity
That go off in your brain in time
They are the same are the good
But what makes them different
...

Do you like the green of the valleys
Or the dry red dusty plain

Do you like the auroras at the poles
...

Listening
Dancing
Swaying
Great sound
...

Bombing back after poisoning it's hard to believe
That people would do that to each other and so deceive
Is it sabre rattling between us in its highest degree
Or seeing a world in turmoil just wanting to be free
...
