"What can be said in New Year rhymes,
That's not been said a thousand times?
The new years come, the old years go,
We know we dream, we dream we know.
We rise up laughing with the light,
We lie down weeping with the night.
We hug the world until it stings,
We curse it then and sigh for wings.
We live, we love, we woo, we wed,
We wreathe our prides, we sheet our dead.
We laugh, we weep, we hope, we fear,
And that's the burden of a year."

Soldiers poem:
If I die in war zone,
Box me up and send me home.
Put my medals on my chest,
Tell my mum I did my best
Tell my dad not to bow,
He won't get tension from me now
Tell my brother to study perfectly,
Keys of my bike will be his permanently
Tell my sister not to be upset,
Her bro will not raise after the sunset.
And tell my love not to cry,
Cause I'm a soldier and I was born to die

Remember me
Duty called and I went to war
Though I'd never fired a gun before
I paid the price for your new day
As all my dreams were blown away


Remember me
We all stood true as whistles blew
And faced the shell and stench of Hell
Now battle's done, there is no sound
Our bones decay beneath the ground
We cannot see, or smell, or hear
There is no death, or hope or fear

Remember me
Once we, like you, would laugh and talk
And run and walk and do the things that you all do
But now we lie in rows so neat
Beneath the soil, beneath your feet

Remember me
In mud and gore and the blood of war
We fought and fell and move no more
Remember me, I am not dead
I'm just a voice within your head

Those lines hold so much sorrow and meaning.

Respect

If we can not respect another
How can we expect them to respect us
If we can not respect someone’s beliefs
How can we expect them to respect ours
If we can not respect another’s race
How can we expect that race to respect us
If we can not respect others
How can we expect respect in return

Everyone expects respect
No matter who they are
The only way to gain it
Is to start treating everyone
As a friend, a brother, a sister
As part of our extended family
No matter what colour or creed they are
Only then you will start to get
The respect you so dearly crave

Just like to say a great big thank you, there are some truly amazing poets/poems here. I've been writing poetry for many years and my one claim to fame is I once had one of my poems featured at the end of a TV documentary back in 1985. A lot of my poems seem to reflect my love for nostalgia. Here's one I wrote twelve years ago:-


I REMEMBER TECHNICOLOR


I remember Technicolor
When skies were truly blue and trees were really green
When rainbows were richer and fuller
And Elvis had the most amazing eyes you’ve ever seen


Then, Old Yeller was really yeller
Now Red Dwarf’s more like brown and snow’s not so white
And the silver spoons bent by Uri Geller
Seem more like tarnished grey than dazzling shiny bright


Electronics whiz kids have come a long way
Now, there’s wide screen, and digital, but something’s still not right
They can’t recapture those old movie ways
And I’m sorry to say that your so-called “true-colour-definition” is just a load of white


You may think your cinema-style set is really hot
With its total-surround-sound and its super-duper-deluxe triple sized screen
But for me, they’ll never really hit the spot
Until the day they can reproduce that old style colour – if ‘hue’ know what I mean

Thanks Dave....really good. So pleased you are happy to share them with us.

Not too sure if it's down to nostalgia or are your eyes getting dim? laugh
