A Real Poet

A Real Poet

by Lord R.e. Taylor

It is such a temptation

Modern day makes it easy

No talent required

Even a stray cat could do it

Just push a button and wait

Some program learned all of words

Knows their meaning and how to use them

Yes, AI can write a poem about anything

But it will lack the feeling only a poet has

After all, we all know love and hate

Happiness as well as sadness

We are the only ones who can write a poem

It may not be good but it will be real

And that is something no robot can ever do

We Need One Voice

We Need One Voice

by Lord R.e. Taylor

It might not be the time

Things may not be bad enough

But everyday they get worse

No one has the nerve to speak out

And those who do regret it

However, the time is coming

Maybe sooner than you expect

The minority will be beat back

Their voices will no longer matter

It will take all of us to join together

Raise our voices with one word...no

Only then will things finally get better

Line By Line

Line By Line

by Lord R.e. Taylor

Line by line

They all combine

Touching in just the right way

Creating the artist’s vision

Each with its own beauty

And its own story

The Queensland Summer

The Queensland Summer

by Lord R.e. Taylor

Red Hot nights

No relief in sight

Sleep is a distant memory

You lie in your bed

Unable to  breathe

Even the water you drink is too hot

So you suffer and you pray

Wishing for even a gentle breeze

You realise you may be being punished

Maybe for some sin a lifetime ago

So, you apologise to the universe

But it does no good

You are in a Queensland  summer

And that, my friend, will never end

He Is

He Is

by Lord R.e. Taylor

He is not that type of person

Not one to be who you think

He is a person unto himself

Now, he may not be the man you’d want

But he may be the man you need

You Are You

You Are You

by Lord R.e. Taylor

You are unique

You really are

Sitting in a perfect world

Your mind still wanders

Exploring new dreams

Creating brand-new ideas

And telling stories never heard

You are the person you should be

That is just who you are

And you are who we love

Sorry Mum

Sorry Mum

by Lord R.e. Taylor

Who knew life was so good

All the milk I could ever want

Cuddles and kisses 24/7

I could not have wanted better

How could I know what was waiting

They never saw me when I took my first bite

It was such a shock to my body and soul

But at that moment is was hooked

I wanted more and more solid food

Milk just wasn’t going to do it anymore

Sorry Mum!

Worth The Risk

Worth The Risk

by Lord R.e. Taylor

I know I should not

Far too much sugar

A diabetic’s nightmare

Well worth the risk

But if it kills me

It is worth it
