Paul Warren Poems

The dark sky displays the twinkling stars
As we look across the light years from afar
In the stars as flashes of colour red, yellow and blue
There is a display of the celestial parade that's true
...

There are some foods that you would not want to live to eat
That get stuck in your throat yelling expletive words in your greet
In Australia it is Vegemite that is a black paste spread on toast
In some Asian countries there are insects fried up in their boast
...

As Australians sitting around we all like a yarn
Remember people gathering in front of a barn
Sitting on long stools with cup of tea in hand
We sit and speak of deeds done so grand
...

Do you still look down on me
Do you see all the things that I see
Do I feel those things in my dictate
Do I still know those things from you I take
...

Walkin' through the world
In the sweet sunshine meld
Happiness is what you bring
Inside your head have a sing
...

A gentle cool breeze on a warm day
As we trekked the bush track away
The smell of the eucalyptus trees
The laughing kookaburra away it flees
...

If I could give to you sunshine every day
And all the time you wanted to while an age away
I would give you happiness for all its worth
And find endless pleasure in your smile of mirth
...

Peace after war is such a happy thought
The years of toil to beat the foe counted as it ought
Counting the cost amongst your family and friends
Is sadness for them as the butcher's bill is finally at an end
...

From Scotland they came to build a new life
Across the seas with their family as man and wife
To South Australia bound they made their home
A family of seven children for a life better known
...

The sea sparkling in the summer sun
Running to the waters edge a race won
Letting the water lap over the top of you
Playing of pirates burying treasure too
...
