Andrew Hamm Poems

Going down the steps
Into the ticket office.
Walking past the queue of passengers
Lining up to buy a travelcard.
...

Emotions are rad.
They can be annoying,
Or they can be good.
...

The rain is like a beautiful sonnet
A sonnet oh so pure
It enables all the flowers to grow
The flowers, trees and plants
...

Just watched Family Guy
It helps me to relax
It’s cheerful and it’s funny
It’s funny to the max
...

Eating lunch at Java
A coffee shop in town
Eating a panini
That’s different shades of brown
...

Colour of lavenders, colour of violets
Purple is definitely my favourite colour
Colour of thistles, colour of Cadbury’s packaging
There’s no better colour than purple
...

At 180 does the fast train go
From Sheffield to London and back again.
Stopping at Chesterfield, Derby and Leicester,
It goes to London town and then
...

From here to Soweto’s a very long way
A very long way indeed
It is so far way I could never get there
Very quickly, even at speed
...

My leg is broken
Oh dear me
My leg is broken
Can’t you see?
...

Crying emotions like an emo
It begs the question:
Why?
Because my twins are non-existent
...
