New Roughton, Lincolnshire, UK

I was born in New Roughton which is situated near Woodhall Spa, on the 7th September 1981. I am a student attending Gartree Secondary school. I'm currently studying towards 8 GCSE's. My father is Anthony Wilhelm, my mother is Susan Jane and my sister is Tracy Jane. My hobbies include sports and poetry. I belong to an athletics and young farmers club. Before I started to write, I had no interest in poetry, but now I can reflect my feelings in a way I never could before. I hope everyone out there can do the same as me.

A World Of Its Own

The gallant and bold pig gives a welcoming grunt,
He searches for food in such a useless hunt.
The lonely sheep wanders in search of new grass and juicy hay,
On her own she'll wander - day after day.
The cow stands patiently, occasionally porting the ground,
Waiting to be milked without uttering a sound.
The cockerels crow is sharp and brave,
He's unaware that he's perched on his unmade grave.
When the sun shines brightly in the morning sky
The ducklings feel no need to walk as they've discovered how to fly.
When the sun has cast its shadow - no life is left on the farm,
All the animals have gone to sleep, treasuring such a unique charm.
They'll wake again tomorrow and start all over again,
Even if its in the sun, the snow or the rain.

The Mysterious Girl

The dead leaves danced under the moonlight
Empty souls walked into the night.
A girl dressed in white stepped out,
My lips trembled as a I tried to shout.
Her eyes were empty, Her face was pale,
She drifted along leaving no trail,
I was shaking nervously, out of control,
Was she the shadow of a young girls soul?
She floated towards me, in her dress of dusty white lace.
I could see a tear slowly begin to roll down her pale face.
I reached out to touch her, tell her she was all right.
But as I did she vanished deep into the night.
I could feel the wind getting stronger,
As the eerie night grew longer.
I couldn't stay awaiting for her return
As she made my empty stomach churn.
She was back where she belonged,
And with her fellow ghosts she could bond.

A Broken Heart

As I look up into the moonlit sky
I think of all the times that drifted by,
Some how a time went on,
You decided it was time you were gone.
I just wanted us to be together,
You and I forever.
There's nothing left for me anymore
Since the day you walked through the door.
I feel a warm, motionless tear fall upon my cheek,
Now my future looks nothing but bleak.
I wanted to walk with you hand in hand
Along a beach with only sea and sand,
Now I want to ride for miles on horse back
On my own down a country track.
