My Poetic Life

My Poetic Life

My experience as a new poet;

Based on my life, and my need to show it,

My growing up, and my family life,

The interferences, disturbances and strife.

Mine and friends pains, hurts, and love,

All this and the strength to grow above.

Some harsh words about my future ex-wife.

Romance that started and stunted my life.

My praise to our wonderful natural earth,

All around us but not recognised for its worth,

The wind cleaning up, and suns beauty,

The splendour of a rainbow and its sensational duty.

A snail’s hard trail of life and its role,

And it’s aim with a simple goal.

Being a doormat and being stepped on,

Only to be ignored and replaced and gone.

My relationship with my daughter,

The alienation and innocent laughter,

My love and devotion to her,

And promises I will keep for sure.

The passing of my brother,

the sadness for the family and mother.

Deep and dark unexplained minds thoughts,

Overwhelming my inner self, like rots.

Some erotic passionate poems,

Leaving some readers; with groans or moans.

As advised by the now AOM to follow topic,

Now 2 poems with humour hoping to be the top pick.

I thanked God for our Earth and help with my future ex-wife,

So maybe, and here's hoping I will have a better afterlife,

These poems and more to follow I hope,

Will attract readers to my new lives, wives and uphill slope.

Hey Mark…

I agree with the opinion of Georgina, the poem is very well written and is very pleasant to read. Writing poetry releases emotions and is much better understood the sadness, joy, joy, pain, love and heartbreak, write poetry, regardless of the opinion of the reader makes much of the heart of the poet.

Greetings to Both, and Georgina, Congratulations on the Embassy in May.

This is good, Mark Paul, I read right till the end, and it's a solid poem, you show a good sense of fun, and you don't seem to take yourself too seriously, recognizing the concept that poetry is supposed to be fun to write, or at least enjoyable, and or powerful, I like your style, you write readable poems, this one included, cheers man.

Thanks Christopher - your comments are much appreciated. I do try and keep my poetry simple and down to earth honesty, after all poetry to me is expressing your thoughts and feelings, etc etc to readers so why complicate it , life is complicated already - LOL

Hi Mark, Great write, some lines become visual as I read. Great job, loved these lines

"A snail’s hard trail of life and its role,

And it’s aim with a simple goal.

Being a doormat and being stepped on,

Only to be ignored and replaced and gone"

Thanks for sharing. Cheers.

Thank you FG - I think we all live interesting lives/ My life now is all about my beautiful daughter and the new lady in my life that has made the world of a difference to how I perceive and respond to my problems - Like they say true love can conquer all. And behind every successful man is a woman : LOL
