Flying Lemming Poems

Countless golden sparkling cathedrals
Bright coloured buildings breaking up tone
Parks full of life, bursting out beauty
The run down tower blocks called home
...

I met a man down on his luck
Life had treated him quite bad
I got him some tea and a bit of tuck
And he told me a tale so sad
...

Six days in and my mind has gone blank
Have I got a leak in my own think tank
Has easy living meant I have lost the drive
And passion to keep the skill alive
...

Time is relative its often said
Depending on what's in your head
If you are anxious seconds will drag
Slowly time will stall and lag
...

Five small ducks went out for a quack
One looked forward one looked back
One looked left and one looked right
The fifth relaxed and smiled so bright
...

The court adviser walked on by
The king's displeasure he did spy
Then through the tent he saw the hollow pit
His pulse worked fast his brain did to
...

You can say what you want, just not so anyone can hear
You can live how you want, just not while living here
You can criticise those in power, just never out loud
You can be an individual, as long as you stay in the crowd
...

I was asked today if I would be remembered
If any of my work will last beyond me
If my name will be mentioned when I am gone
Will anything go down in history
...

You may think I’m mad or a little confused
But I find that my peace is being abused
Whenever I try to sit and relax
I hear the noise of my cat eating snacks
...

Surrounded by night every day
I sit in my capsule in space
I’m gently floating away
A calm and tranquil place
...
