Paul Warren Poems

What makes courage for all to see?
Is it doing something against the odds that be
When what ever happens chances are
You would not survive or get very far
...

The Pretoria Guard stood strong by
But some had defected to a candidate near-by
The Captain’s pick could not carry him through
Even Sir Phillip from the Palace couldn’t make his sky blue

So I finally decided to read the instructions on the page
It seemed that you needed to be a Star Wars sage
The wording was done by Master Yoda to say
An example was ‘On the floor the parts to lay'

The Anzac was known in the Great War
As a fierce warrior who knew the score
By 1918 at the end of the war as a seasoned soldier
Whose attacking moves were always much bolder
...

It didn’t seem to be different on that night
When the scientists thought it would be right
To add another second to the end of the day
So that night and day would align to stay
...

As everyone gave their views
Do you know what happened?
It was his son who used the weapon

When thinking that the truth may be only half read
And it is not really true but maybe you'll see
So when it is put together it could possibly be
...

The truth is what happened for all to see
Then the lawyers get to it and work it to be
The rules made it into the facts to be followed
And see what's admissible for the court to be swallowed
...

Aussie Rules winters
Big Blue Spring skies
Autumns crisp with sunshine
Endless summers
...

The beauty of her face and the grace in her move
Held my gaze with such power that kept me in its groove
And as she passed I saw her smile as I caught her eye
This moment I wished to last forever or not want time to fly
