Screw them all




What you reap is what you sow

Is how the saying goes

It's the same for our existence

As everybody knows

I know I'm full of clichés

But to drugs you must “say no”

And take it from the horses' mouth

I really ought to know

Its fun sometimes sitting on the fence

You see both sides a good defense

But if you continue to sit on the wall

One day you will surely fall

You must take a chance-

To get anywhere at all

Jump into the unknown

And screw them all

Jane Lomas

All poems included here are just first draft's. I hadn't written poetry for a few years, so to polish my art and find my muse I posted some quickly written poems on these pages so I could see your response. It has helped me by reading your reviews about my poems (all of which I have taken into consideration) all comments have helped me improve my work a great deal. Thank you. I realy enjoy reading all your poems. I find some very insperational, some very heart felt, some very deep, which has helped me to push myself and dig deeper. Very deep, on some occasions. So my own poetry has vastly improved- since I have joined this sight, it has certainly helps splur me on. Thank You for all your imput and replies, please keep it up. It has helped educate me and make me a better writer. So if you would like to read more of my poems (the ones I've taken time over, polished them, played with them, worked on them till they truly worked)for your pleasure I have now with confidence published my own book. A MEASUREMENT OF THE MIND, POEMS OF LIFE AND LOVE. its available on ebook at Amazon. Thank You. more…
