Paul Warren Poems

So now if you give flowers to someone who needs cheering
You will be emotionally stable, successful and more caring
Flowers have evolved to attract insects for pollinating
So they are colourful and smell nice for insects not limiting
...

There was a time when I thought I was strong
And nothing could hurt me and I'd get along
They gave me this blue suit and it made me a superman
And I would always be able to handle everything in a plan
...

I remember the smile on your dial
And how you would stay just for a while
But the time became hours all along
Whilst we laughed and sang our song
...

We who are left are called to your last parade
Standing in silence our memories do not fade
We leave the space where you once stood
And a tear runs down our cheeks as it should
...

Dads can fix things easily
When kids play with their things roughly
And they chase monsters feared with dread
When hiding at night from under your bed
...

Fort Largs

Once we stood together proud and tall
Dressed in khaki or navy blue one and all
...

My childhood now walks through my memory glade
Of the sunny days and laughter that doesn't fade
I see again those friends who were always with us
And hear again my mother calling me home in a fuss
...

I may be unpopular in this thought
And I've considered this more than I ought
The conclusion has presented itself
It comes from my extra ordinary culinary wealth
...

We are in the information age it is sure to see
Where you have to sift through to find the truth to be
When Prime Ministers rise and fall
On what they said or what is said about them all
...

They say to be caught on the barbed wire
Meant certain death in the mud and the mire
The artillery shells at first wouldn't cut it at all
Until contact fuses were used in the call
...
