#185 Fate

Harry Is A Poet ·

2024/06/08

Not everything in life is in your hands.Anything can upset the best laid plans.It sucks. I can say nothing more.When life pushes you through a certain door.For most of life, you feel in control.That you can decide if you reach your goal.The only thing standing in the way is us.As long as we work hard it'll be no fuss.And then, it breaks. The illusion fades.Effort matters, but it's just an aid.Nothing can stand against the mechanism of life.Not strength nor sadness, not calm nor strife.It

#184 Whispers

Harry Is A Poet ·

2024/06/01

It's how it all started.The voices. In the twilight hour, they whispered. We heard them at the crossing. Through a veil. They gave advice we needed to hear at the time. The advice was often simple. Always sincere. Time to wake up. Talk to her. Remember to breath. They guided us in a way. We thought forwards. And not every step on the road is hard. Until it becomes hard. That step. The voices wavered, as they always did. A life with twilight speech The whispers. They don't take kindly

#183 The Verdict

Harry Is A Poet ·

2024/05/25

Everyone wants to feel, in some way, like their thoughts matterThey want to be pitched ideas as a worthy batterWhat I didn't want, what I never wanted, was thisTo decide whether to cast a man's soul to the abyssI was selected for jury, and drawn to do dutyThe desire to do my responsibility flew through meI was chosen as an equal, and now within my handsI hold the soul of a most guilty manI've no doubt that he did it. His victims' blood runs clearThe most open and shut case

#182 The Launch

It's time.Oh it would have been so easy.You could have stayed still.But no.You, oh noble beast. You live for a thrill.And so it begins. Slowly. The count.You inhale. Ten.This is it. What everything has led to.The thing that has filled your dreams so often.Nine. You shudder. Every last muscle.You anticipate.Even in this step into the unknown.This step into fate. Eight.You will now be propelled through time.You will experience heaven.This World is now to small.It is your fence. Seven.Six. You can

#181 On Brexit

Harry Is A Poet ·

2024/05/11

Dear everyone disheartened by this: please don't be.Now, more than ever, we need to have courage.Now, more than ever, we need to have strength.For so long, we have simply resorted to fear to make our case.Fear of the man next door, fear of the unknown.And believe it or not, this makes people scared.So now, as we face the unknown, we can not be frightened.One decision is made. But other than that, everything is on the table.The road ahead need not be that which we assume.So, to those who voted

2024/05/04

This poem is lovingly dedicated to my GrandmaShe has been around 90 years on this World so farBrought happiness and joy to many a different faceShe takes life and it's challenges with a loving embraceBecause in 1926, the same year as Winnie the PoohMy Grandma was born all fresh and newYoung and full of promise, so fittinglyThey named her simply RosemaryAnd like rosemary, she works best with othersAs a mentor, as a neighbour, as a partner and loverShe never sees a person as better or worseJust a

#179 Identity

Harry Is A Poet ·

2024/04/27

Who am I? Who are you?What are we? What shall we do?We've woken up a thousand times, emerged from slumberSometimes we wake up smarter, sometimes dumberBut normally, well, how to put this politely?Day by day we change ever so slightlyWe are constantly changing, such is our natureSometime change is small, sometimes an adventureBut why? Why do we change, and why does it matter?It's important because without it, life would be flatterThere would be fewer bumps, and far less noiseEternally living

#178 Sage Advice

Harry Is A Poet ·

2024/04/20

"I was a lot more comfortable being vulnerable and openWhen I was younger, and it wasn't clear if I was or wasn't joking..." - Sage FrancisIt can be a struggle. To be open and honest.So despite the evidence, I'll say that I'm for this.When I say despite the evidence, I mean that sincerely,Because I know for a fact that sincerity fears me.I, like many others of my generation and ageWill stick to some conventions like tears to a rageAlthough we're trying to shake them

2024/04/06

Pay attention. Listen up.I'm going to try to explain something difficult.Democracy.No, wait! Don't go. I swear, I'll try to make it quick.See, Democracy, to me, is still radical.And I don't mean radical like skateboards, I don't mean radical like Guitar Hero.I mean radical like revolutions are radical.Because the idea that every single person has a valid opinionAnd the following conclusion, that we have to listen to those opinionsThat the collective will of every Jack, Tom

#175 Parents

Harry Is A Poet ·

2024/03/30

Sometime when the world deals a blow and has dazed usIt's good to think back to the parents who raised usYour mothers gave birth, as mothers have to doShe went through great pain just to give birth to youThen growing up, they dealt with all your palaverNot just sibling fights, or having the floor be lavaThose times when you were small, so tender and weakWhen you were born you were so fragile and meekThough they must have been scared, they still stayed and triedEvery parent has that scare when

2024/03/23

If you're having a bad day, this a message for youWritten on a letter, sealed with love and glueFor you to open, whenever it's a struggle to get throughThis bad day is one we're both gonna beat black and blue......Dear friend in the wilderness. Dear voice in the mistSometimes it seems like our fate has been kissedDays when we're not tired and sick, days when all will go wellThis is dedicated to those days when you go through hellHere's a fact. You've been through plenty of

#173 The Famous Girl

Harry Is A Poet ·

2024/03/16

She had that beauty which came from getting up an hour earlier than the sunAnd staring endlessly into the mirror willing herself through the next dayEven with a sense of anxious pride about who she was and what she'd doneThere was only one small part of her that had never wished this life awayNo, it was not those startling clear blue eyes, clouded windows to a troubled soulNor was it those carefully shaved legs which had walked through a thousand dreamsIt was the voice inside that let her

#172 We're Animals

Harry Is A Poet ·

2024/03/09

Sometimes I like to sayLet's go wild and adventureSo lets go to our baser natureAnd be animalistic in how we playYetI don't wanna be a jellyfish 'cause without needing to wish you can already see right through meI don't wanna be a zebra neither 'cause I don't need ya to spend that much time crossing meI don't wanna be a lion I'm not lyin' I don't wanna have that much prideI don't wanna be an armadillo Couldn't

#171 Fever

Harry Is A Poet ·

2024/03/02

It's funny, I still see the same thingsI still know red is not blueThe morning bluebirds still singAnd yet, somehow, it's twistedWhile still being old, not newAs if my brain itself has mistedI can still chat and converseWith a throat that's dryAs I pretend the reverseIts a flaw so clear, yet so weirdThat the world through my eyesCould be so easily smeared*** https://harryisapoet.blogspot.com/2016/04/fever.html

2024/02/24

I'm sorry, can you please repeat for meI swear that I was paying attentionThe fact is I was temporarilyThinking up a brand new life inventionIt would be small, light and easy to holdBe cheap enough every person could buyWork in high temperatures and in the coldKeep working until the day that you dieSo it's robust and tough and versatileNow I hear you ask "what does it do?"I was on the verge of that insight whileI was distracted by listening to youSo, again, could you repeat what

#168 Creating Poetry

Harry Is A Poet ·

2024/02/17

You can say things that sound awful smart. I know you can, because you are smart.But all of us get scared and fearful if someone looks at us too closely. The issue is, everything we write can sounds dumb If it's analysed, repeated, turned over and stared at long enough You'll pour your heart into something You''ll create meaning you find profound Yet still, after a long enough time You'll see your heart crumble from certainty Honestly, it's no wonder people are

#167 Don't You Dare

Harry Is A Poet ·

2024/02/10

It is not an unheard sadness, for friends to die.To selfishly leave us stranded down this gravity wellWhile themselves going on to pursue the next great adventure(tm).It is uncertain to what extent the departed are aware of the worldWhat consciousness they retain in their corporal remainsWith this certain knowledge of death's uncertainty, here is a claim I can venture:Funerals aren't held for the dead.After all,No corpse has ever said thank youNo cadaver has ever given a final bowNo earthly

Holla, Holla, holla at my vegan boyThis is not a song to berate irritate or annoyAnd holla, holla, holla at my vegan girlAt the tenacity in giving this philosophy a whirlAlright, let's remove any preconceptions for a bitLife does not come with a morality kitWe all decide now how to make our wayWhere to make our home, how to make our payOne daily decision which we make and repeatIs to choose the food that we cook and eatJust heed this warning when choosing your diet and foodOf any strongly
