Chris Barlow Poems

famous grouse or bells are names he often says
a couple of glasses later
he ends up in a daze
he asks me if id like a dropp then he starts to choke
...

Innocent spectators watching a run
All gathered closely and all having fun
Then all of a sudden, like thunder a blast
Then after, another, it happened so fast,
...

i found my self in a trance today
just staring at the wall
i found my self amazed today
as i was watching something small.
...

how many years did he before me take to grow
the beautiful disaster he has became
infact all of his brothers and sisters
all look exactly the same
...

when i traveled to the seaside
equipped with bucket and spade
the wave crashed into my sandcastle
the one id only just made
...

i awoke from my bed
my heart filled with joy and glee
as i had just spent the night
sitting by the sea
...

somebody who would confront whoever last made you upset?
Somebody that treats you nicely and always with respect
Somebody who would pick you up when you get knocked down
Somebody who makes sure the things you get up to are never the talk of the town
