The Princess & The Dragon There was a princess long ago, As pretty as could be. She was charming and so polite, All craved her company. She lived within a forest in, A manor on a hill. And tended injured creatures there, With herbs and gentle skill. One day a stranger came to see, This…

A Case For Mars A rocketship out to the stars, Starts with a shorter trip. A trip to Mars to learn and build, A bigger, better ship. To get to Mars we’ve much to learn, To get there and survive. To build the things we need to live, And more, succeed and thrive. For Mars…

To Know The Truth Another day has come and gone, Dusk spreads hen gentle cloak, The fog rolls in across the bay, Like slowly drifting smoke. All sound is muffled faint and far, The world fades away. A streetlight’s just a distant glow, ‘Round which some damp moths play. In darkness dense and damp and…

We Are Cyberspace A billion things, a billion more, And still there’s more to see. It’s anything to anyone, the internet to me. There’s superstars, there’s nobodies, The famous and unknown. It doesn’t matter who you are, You’ll never be alone, There’s legal things, illegal things, Some things are in between. There’s beauty there and…

Dream Big, Work Hard A dream is born a fragile thing, To nurture and to grow. A vision of what things might be, It’s possible you know. Hard work and drive and lots of faith, A willingness to learn. Stay true, hold fast, to your true wish, To that for which you yearn. There’s those…

Whatever comes is what will be, Can’t change the shape of fate The only thing you can control, Is how you will relate. So think on this when troubles…

Not What They Thought Beneath a cloudy midnight sky, A deeper sort of dark. Upon the air a cop’pry scent, Drifts slowly ‘cross the park. Through thinning clouds a wat’ry light, Sifts faintly through the trees. A shout, a shot, a bestial shape, Now topples to it’s knees. Not far away in these same woods,…

Music Is… The notes and words go flowing by, Some let us ride along. And for a time, once in a while, We find a favourite song. But faithless hearts and fickle ears, All ensure that will change. They tempt us then and captivate, With tunes both new and strange. A beat that’s new, no…

Overcoming The Noise. I cannot think, I cannot hear, The voices in my head. They try to speak and to be heard, Don’t know just what they said. There’s poetry that I can’t hear, It’s lost in all this noise. The words are lost beyond recall, l’ve lost so many joys. Voices within and more…

The Lies Myself Tells Me I fear the time has come I said, As I sat there alone. I found that I agreed with me, Been too long on my own. I used to argue with myself, Don’t bother any more. The fact is I’ve learned to my grief, I am a dreadful bore. But…
