Paul Warren Poems

There is a blue sky on Pluto
With streams and rivers to go to
You will be a bit cold in the atmosphere
But the blue in the sky will remind you of the Earth so dear
...

Walking the path home
Quiet and feeling so alone
Ducks swim in a pond
...

Sitting down is unhealthy for you
You need to stand up for your health to be true
Standing up doesn’t age your body fast
The benefits from this will last
...

On the coast of Cornwall on a stormy day
The people of the village walked the beach searching away
After a storm they are looking to find
Pieces of coloured plastic in the surf so fine
...

Some summer nights in the Tasmanian sky
When the summer heat promises a temperature to fly
The Aurora Australis lights up in an intense colour sheet
And it's when the ghost ship drifts across the bay discreet
...

So here we go again
Commissioned officers like to pretend
That they are in control and know it all
Don't give advice and wait on the call
...

They say you can go forward
But the theory says not backward
You have to get ahead of the light
Then into the future to go you might
...

Albert Jacka was a Victorian and a true blue
Who enlisted before Gallipoli as the 1st AIF grew
When the Great War was declared he was a forester
Who worked in the tall trees of Australia in Victoria.
...

I've got a man cold I'm not very well
And when I see others I have to tell
My nose is all runny
It's so sad and not funny
...

So there is flowing water on the Mars planet
That is a prerequisite for life to survive on it
Will it be little green men who are very clean
Or just amoebas that are part of the Martian scene
...
