#110 The Host

Harry Is A Poet ·

2023/01/14

I imagine on this night, Life manifest as a reality show. With the Host cloathéd in white from his head to his toe His grin, it sparkles. His voice is veneer. The lights go dark, his will becomes clear. For now at least, he's running the game He'll unleash your beast, he'll make you feel shame He's got questions and challenges to test every master Your heart starts to race as the beat it gets faster "So, are you ready? Let's test what you know. You'd better be steady because it's 3-2-1-Go! You

#109 Humanity - the great killer

Harry Is A Poet ·

2023/01/07

Humans have always had the potential to impact the earth Either to celebrate and elevate it, or damage it beyond repair For some reason they seem to like to chose the latter They've caused great wars due to disagreement Radiation makes some islands untouchable Punched a hole right in the atmosphere And wiped countless species from the planet So many species. So many cries and sounds never to be known Hunted for sport, food, curiosity, or because they didn't know better Given how many species they

#108 My Purpose

Harry Is A Poet ·

2022/12/31

So, very recently, I think I might have realised a purpose. Don't worry, it's ridiculous beyond measure. Soon I'll realise that and join the rest of humanity without one After all, the search is almost certainly the bit with most interest and pleasure. But, it hasn't escaped my notice that I've been lucky. That certain decisions have gone my way That life has thrown me pre-made lemonade A folding table to sell it on, nice weather to sell it in (at least, on a typical day). So, I'm getting

#107 Curse this world, if you will

Harry Is A Poet ·

2022/12/24

Curse this world, if you will That is all too understandable and I do not blame you, This world is known to be unkind But yet I ask of you this You may scream at the skies It has brought naught but grey days And overcast reality itself with shadows But yet I ask of you this Cast devilments at circumstance, Chance alone should not lead to so a disparaging destiny As the one seemingly in existence But yet I ask of you this Profess profanities at life for what it's been up to lately For life itself

#106 A Muse

Harry Is A Poet ·

2022/12/17

She'd was both cute and dangerous, and gosh darn did she know it She'd inspired lovers and labourers, adventures and poets Not a soul in this world or the next could resist her charms Let me explain to stop you being vexed and maybe save you from harm The most transient and beautiful thing, well after life herself see She'd overthrown more kings than the oracles at Delphi Her true name is unknown, she's a Goddess in most culture She helps Fate be sewn, is more persistent than the vulture She is

#105 My Resolution

Harry Is A Poet ·

2022/12/10

new year, new aims. new life, new games. strategy changing while staying the same welcome to the new age same paper different page new life, new bird nearly out of the cage so here's the deal I can now reveal let me be clear and let me be real I'm not yet at my best my life is a mess I want to improve I want to progress yet somebody told me quite patiently I'm hard to give advice I like their honesty so from now somehow I'll listen better even if time doesn't allow lend sympathetic

#104 Dear Thomas, Cat

Harry Is A Poet ·

2022/12/03

Dear Thomas, cat I know I talk to you all the time, but sometimes I don't feel like you can understand me So I thought I'd try to pursue the process of communication somewhat more formally Cause I know that although you do turn to me when I say your name each day Do you really know it refers to you, or do you just think it means "hey"? Dear Thomas, cat I've known you since we were young, and we've both grown old together We both confuse the parents with the amount of time we like spending in bad

#103 Freeform - Cyborg

Harry Is A Poet ·

2022/11/26

She's not fully human. At least not any more. Not since involuntarily gave up a finger or four And the rest of her hand, her thumb and her palm Her wrist, elbow and shoulder - but please remain calm For she means you no harm. For they built her anew A limb to replace where she once had too few Not fully flesh, she calls herself cyborg with a gleam Whilebrightlyher arm reflects the smile of a sunbeam "It's fantastic" she'd say "I'd recommend the experience Loosing a limb is a testament to my

#102 Freeform - Tattoos

Harry Is A Poet ·

2022/11/19

There are some people who just can't help but leave a mark when you meet them Leave etches on your memories you can never delete and Remind you of the other in the earth, those in the planet but not of the same There are those always in the picture and then there are those that chose the frame I tell you this so you understand just how special this wise wizened lady was to me Standing before me voiceless at 5ft3 She'd lived life to it's fullest, never dreaming just doing Reminding you of how much

#101 Freeform - The Circle in the Square

Harry Is A Poet ·

2022/11/12

Yo. I'm the circle in the square The odd guy over there. I'm the monster in the closet so you'd better beware But maybe I'm being unfair So let me say what I mean and you can see if you care I know I can seem all confident and full of vigour But that doesn't mean I don't assume people snigger Behind my back About social skills I lack Things others were taught but for me fell through the crack Is it right, is it fair, is it honest, is it true? What do they say about me? What could I do? I've never

#100 Remember - Admit your mistakes

Harry Is A Poet ·

2022/11/05

Thank sinking feeling when you know you've messed up is never nice. I should know. I've messed up a few times myself. Ok, more than a few. That's not hyperbole, that's me counting past my fingers. And I know it's not easy to admit, it never is So, what I'm going to do is take you through a couple scenarios And let you see what you should do from now. In the first scenario, you own up Yes, I know it isn't easy. But what else can you do? Knuckle up. Grit your teeth. Clench your hand into a fist if it

#99 Remember - 2 Minutes of Silence

Harry Is A Poet ·

2022/10/29

This is 2 minutes of silence, 2 minutes to actually think I relish in this quiet and let my thoughts start to sink No one can control what goes through your mind Here is 2 minutes worth of what you may find in mine What is this for? Ah, that's right, I know To remember a war from long long ago A war we thought was fought for good reason A war where not to fight was treason It was fought by many And yes they fought well Those boys my age or less They all went through hell Not all, but some

#98 Remember - The Fifth

Harry Is A Poet ·

2022/10/22

Remember remember the 5th of November Remember remember the 5th of November Remember remember the 5th of November But why? See I remember the fireworks from my childhood I remember the colours making me feel good I remember the bonfire and the crackling wood I remember the sparklers, but not the spark I should See way back when, kicking it 17th century style There'd be dissatisfaction, there had been for a while People were screaming, every citizen a potential revolutionary This unsettled the

#97 Remember - The Watcher

Harry Is A Poet ·

2022/10/15

She was the watcher. That was all that she did She would watch the world without interaction It's all she'd done since she was a kid It would've been all she'd do until death But I, I sought out and met the watcher in person I wanted to discuss great things They marvels she'd seen, but also her aversion To going out and experiencing the world "Will you not come with me?" I near begged at her side But not because of her beauty or looks You've been cooped up too long watching from inside The earth

#96 Space - Rising Up

Harry Is A Poet ·

2022/10/08

And I rose. I wove jovially at the odd collection of individuals around me The pillow of air bellowed out below swallowing all I could see A transparent bubble of separation giving an indication of reality The untouchable. The others. The ever further away. I was swept into the aether as it took me where it may. And I rose. Going up now, going up ever ever higher I was excited, yet only via aid I could even respire My mind was raised up, up, up to a scene to inspire And I had to admire the entire

#95 Space - The Gap in Conversation

Harry Is A Poet ·

2022/10/01

Alright, sit back and settle in. Let me describe how your evening has gone so far. A good friend of yours has dragged you along to a party. He's currently trying to stand up while chatting to a girl in the corner. He's having about equal success at both. That leaves you alone. The party itself is decent. The drinks are about the right level of cheapness. The house has just less seating space than is ideal. So far not one person has started a fight or thrown up on themselves. It's kind of dull to be

#94 Space - The Space Inside

Harry Is A Poet ·

2022/09/24

I'm always kind of amused, whenever I find myself on stage. Of all the emotions I feel, it's never fear or rage I never want to strike out. I never want to hide Just a curiosity. To find out what is inside. See, I'm placed here before you all today. All 6tf1 of post-teenage angst and decay All of you see me, standing right here All of you waiting for me. And I don't fear See, some people get stage fright, that was never my scene Others get an audience in sight and shout words that're obscene I've

#93 Space - Halley's Comet

Harry Is A Poet ·

2022/09/17

You may not know, but earth gets a regular visitor. And I mean regular, as in, with regularity. It's far from a common occurrence But, well, I like to imagine there's a purpose to the visit. That, far far away, a grand council of others spotted this planet That they saw it developing, so young as it then was. And, for the purposes of science and stories The decided that, every 3 generations, they would monitor our progress And then they waited They would have seen so much in our time. I'd like to

#92 Space - Flight

Harry Is A Poet ·

2022/09/10

I hate this first bit. Always have, always will Never quite enjoyed this thrill A clench of fists, my teeth grit The countdown begins I do a check - I've got my things The safety announcement Please lift up your cabin trays Check how to exit on the displays Departure is now imminent I strap in real tight, fumbling I can hear the engines rumbling This trip is quite short Due to last a mere two days Which seems a long way aways As my mind is on just one thought I must stay conscious, I must The

#91 New Words - Ephemera (or - Honest Tears)

Harry Is A Poet ·

2022/09/03

There is no more beautiful or treacherous pleasure to indulge in as a man than to enjoy crying To let emotion pour from you, your face dripping with the betrayal of what society demands For once, you can be honest. For once, you can not hide. Most of the time, we have to bottle up our tears Drink them down with the rest of our sorrows Tattoo them on the inside of our eyelids So that only when we blink do we wash away the mask and see ourselves clearly Trying so very hard to emotionally barricade the
