Paul Warren Poems

Is it safer today than it was in the golden days?
When you could leave your door unlocked when you go away
There were no ISIS terrorists when you went out in public
And being alone was not an issue when you were meek
...

A really big boat
Steamy love on the high seas
Iceberg sunk the boat.
...

Battle on an ice planet
Luke Skywalker trained by Yoda who dies
Darth Vader is Luke's father.
...

A behavioral scientist will say
If your name is put on a paper coffee cup
So that you will be identified in this way
You will be twice as likely to recycle
...

Indians attack fur trappers
A trapper is savaged by a bear
He is left for dead but lives
Ensures the trapper who left him dies.
...

The dropping of the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki ended World War Two
Bringing the Japanese to a point that they nothing else they could do
But to end the bloodshed and bring about the end of the War
The Japanese Emperor ended telling them that they could do no more
...

The melancholy fragrances from my youth
In the test of time that have in my memory stood
My mother cooking her homemade pasties as they bake
My father gluing wood for his latest project he would make
...
