Poem Artwork


When I was younger I had the hunger
To be somebody anybody
But I did not know who or what to do

Then gradually it came to me
I was the only body I could be
So if not what at least I knew who

And there was always this poetry
I wrote for my friends when I was younger
Then I set it to music you see

So I was a composer chorally
Musically I became somebody
But when I went mad then I went free

The church I worked for left me in the lurch
Disappointing me ultimately
Left alone I found love on my own

Through trying times my mad nursery rhymes
Are how I do what like nobody
Else now somehow as who knows what to do

That's great!! Sometimes the ultimate survival skill comes from within ourselves that we didn't know the strength and the wisdom we had all along that is inside us all along. Wonderful poem, Steven!!!!

Say Something Terrorible v3 by RickthePoetWarrior

My mom says ‘If you can’t say anything nice then don’t say anything’. Sorry mom but under the guise of poetic license I penned these beauties.

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
