Lion Queen Poems

I love to write poetry so I thought I’d start a thread in this section for my poems so I can post more. I hope you enjoy my poems, some are funny some are very sad as I wrote a lot of poems to help me cope with my grief of losing my Mum and Sister.

Here is a comical one,

As I’m getting older
Here is what I’ve noticed
My memory’s done a bunk
Feel I’m going round the twist

I’ll walk into the kitchen
Then I.ll stand and stare
As I think I scratch my head
Trying to remember why I’m there

Unwanted hair keeps sprouting
I’ve got a beard and a tash
I don’t want to shave
Or I’ll come out in a rash

As I sit and pluck me chin
I’ll shout ‘COME OUT YA SWINE’
They are such stubborn buggers
These witchy hairs of mine

As I get up from my chair
To answer my telephone
My legs have seized up again
I let out a howling moan

Ooo I need to pee
I better go right away
If I don’t hurry up
My pee will go astray

Looking in the mirror
Another crease has appeared
Oh no, the crinkly skin is here
Just as I’ve always feared

All these things that happen
The heavy and hard load
We have no choice but deal with it
It’s part of our lifes road

Very good LQ, it made me smile as I can relate to it :smiley:

Ah, I brought a smile upon your face, I like to know that, thank you Mags.

Nice one LQ, I can relate to it too!

It made me laugh too LQ but I definitely don’t relate to it. :wink:

I wrote this poem a few days after my mum passed away suddenly. Little did I know that within a couple of weeks my beloved sister was to pass away suddenly too. I comfort myself with knowing they are together in Heaven.

Empty Chair

Entering the room
I saw an empty chair
Where not so long ago
I saw Mum sitting there
The overwhelming grief
is oh so hard to bear
I want my Mum again
to be sitting in that chair

How am I going to cope
now my Mum is gone
It’s going to be so hard
for me to carry on
But then I heard a voice
I heard my dear Mum say
"Be strong my dearest daughter
each and every day

Daddy needs you now
and the family too
Take care of them for me
they really do need you"
Don’t worry dearest Mum
I’ll hug them as they weep
You are now free to go
into eternal sleep

A very touching poem, LQ…

Thanks Mags, it came from my heart.

Beautifully written LQ.

thank you Val x

Love your poems LQ :slight_smile:

It tugs at my heart to know what you must have gone through. It is a beautifully written poem, LQ.

Thanks Muddy x

Thank you RN. It has been very painful and I will never truly get over losing my mum and sister, my sister was my best friend and I miss her more than I could ever describe. Had she still be alive I would have introduced her to this group, everyone would have loved her, she was a funny lady with a beautiful heart of gold.

I write some of my poems to help me through my grief which never seems to get any easier as they say it does x

nice ones LQ - welcome to the Poets Laurette corner of OFF

Thanks Gumbud. I really enjoy writing them and it’s lovely to know people enjoy what I wirite. I.ll keep posting on odd days . Happy Saturday

I have just found this.
I love them LQ.
The sad one made me cry.
You are very like me, you write poetry to help you cope. I do either that, or I paint.
It helps. Xxx

Weighing In

Stepping on the scales
The cake I ate is showing
NO! not another pound
When will I stop growing!

At my age I do deserve
To eat a tasty bun
But if I carry on eating them
I’ll end up weighing a ton!

No fat will pass my lips
Sweetener’ll replace the sugar
Then I’ll look healthy and slim
Instead of an old fat bugger

Cellulite, lumps and bumps
Caused by eating chips
Fatty, greasy, stodgy food
Keeps sticking to my hips

I’ll exercise, cut down my food
And use a smaller plate
I really am determined
To rid myself of weight

In future I’ll watch what I eat
Eat healthy greens and fibre
Then hopefully I’ll shrink in size
Instead of getting wider!
