    #309 Life is Different

    Life is different, but what could that be,Life ain't an issue to be tackled philosophicallyYou'll never seize the day sitting around, doin' nothin'Those seizin' life are all out there becomin'So follow my lead, I proceed to feedYou the knowledge of what it means to succeedTrust my path, and I'll lead make sure to get you half wayThough tough, you gotta make your own way the rest o' the dayDon't be the person you met in the mirror yesterdayLife ain't a game with fixed rules that you playTry something tha' will break a few mindsSit back rewind, see what you find, new friend o'mineI heard an old man once said something wise to meBut I forgot it, semi-intentionallyFind yourself a message in the noise of this existenceSome things will only reveal themselves wit' persistenceIf you find it, holla my way although I may not listenYour way is your way by my own admissionLife is full of challenges, I don't need yours tooBut an adventure? Hit me up if it feels trueHey, remember way back at the start when you were sittin'?Rest a little while, but there's a bug and you've been bittenThe bug of not bein' satisfied with half-lived livesOf living a life where you don' have to strive to surviveAnd if you've been too busy, well then franklyI wont be upset if you never find me to thank meThe reward is justification, And I must've been patientThat I've served just this message of why you need to hastenYo, if you just care to get up and find yourself wanting moreThere's a life out there to live that's different to what you've known before*** https://harryisapoet.blogspot.com/2018/11/life-is-different.html

    #308 To write an epic

    I want to write an epic, a story read about for yearsGet people cheering characters, get them crying tearsI want people to be waiting for the next thing I writeI want them reading my works straight through the nightI want to write jokes, to make the listeners laughHave the perfect minute of material to tear them in halfI want nothing more than to write something to enjoyAnd I want it liked by everyone, every girl and boyI want to write short stories, the type you read onlineI want it liked and commented and shared a thousand timesTo make peoples' moment, with nothing but imaginationTo give the endless scroll a second of hesitationI want to write comics, bring brightness to a pageWrite in newspapers, expose injustice, bring rageBe an indie author, be the guy you just have to knowWrite on walls so you see my work everywhere you goI want to write many things, to reach peoples' heartsThe world of willing writers is made up of a thousand partsBut for now, if I can make it worth one person's while,To read something I have written? That will always make me smile. *** https://harryisapoet.blogspot.com/2018/11/to-write-epic.html

    #307 Sugar Rush

    Sugar rush it's a must Build it big and then it's bust Go glucose go let the world know That you're sweet on repeat so flow But live a little sugar brittle if you can Let chocolate inlets into your hand So can the candy keep it up I'm a fan man fill my cup The high is quick Don't be sick Sugar boon Over soon Don't avoid or get annoyed at a small sugar high Also let go and be prepared to go goodbye I can see the reason sugar's pleasing to the taste But mix your fixes or it'll stick to your waist *** https://harryisapoet.blogspot.com/2018/11/sugar-rush.html

    #306 Play for the world

    As nice as it is to play for the world Still perform to one person, if you're allowed I know you've got dreams of making it big young child One day you'll make every person on this Earth grow wild But until that day here's a truth better realised It's a good thing to make a few people satisfied Each person that I have ever met is fascinating to me With dreams and histories as curious as can be So if you can take a small time of that person's path And make them smile or cry or laugh If you can do something special for just a few Well, I'll take that every time. Wouldn't you? One day you'll play for the world. And it wont be a long while. But you should still realise how good it is to make one person smile. *** https://harryisapoet.blogspot.com/2018/11/play-for-world.html

    #305 The moment you commit

    It starts with a moment The moment you commit You decide, screw the haters I'm doing it. You know the road is hard You know you've tried to walk it before. That few have succeeded And failure has claimed many more It doesn't matter You've made up your mind. So now it doesn't matter what obstacles you find What things life throws in your way What the challenges are you face each day You've done it. You've chosen your path. Ridicule any attempts to make you stop. Laugh. The moment has passed. Now do not falter as you move. You are in charge. Vault into your groove. Take the lead. You have to figure out how. It starts with a moment. And your time is now. *** https://harryisapoet.blogspot.com/2018/10/the-moment-you-commit.html

    #303 Cost of a Birthday

    Every year on my birthday I ask what I have doneWhat have I accomplished, what victories have I won?I imagine meeting Father Time on this annual dateHanding over one year, as is my fateAnd then asking, politely, what did I get in return?Who did I meet? What did I learn?Did I cause more smiles than frowns?Did I visit new cultures or stay in one town?And each year, when I sit down, and think really hardAnd I realise the cost I've paid for each birthday cardI think it's worth it. I accept this trade.It's a high cost, and maybe I didn't get the best deal for each second paidBut for those I've got to know, and the things I've been allowed to doI'll pay the toll this year. And I can't wait to see what next year pays for too.*** https://harryisapoet.blogspot.com/2018/10/cost-of-birthday.html

    #302 Grandma

    In life, we leave a legacy of memoriesEtched in connections in living brainsTime spent together is not just being friendlyThere is love we share and happiness we gainThis poem is lovingly dedicated to my GrandmaShe has been around 92 years on this World where we areBrings happiness and joy to many a different faceShe takes life and it's challenges with a loving embraceBecause in 1926, the same year as Winnie the PoohMy Grandma was born all fresh and newYoung and full of promise, so fittinglyThey named her simply RosemaryAnd like rosemary, she works best with othersAs a mentor, as a neighbour, as a partner and loverShe never sees a person as better or worseJust a future friend with which to converseI feel lucky, even though I arrived so lateI spent 25 years with her on Earth as mentor and mateThat after so much time since that birth yearBoth she and I share this world right hereIf I start to worry about what the future might bringI remember, in 1926, we still had an empire and a kingWe've been through much turmoil and change, it needs not be namedJust that through it all my dear Grandma remainedWhatever challenges life decides to throw my wayBlood flowing in her veins flows in mine todaySo I have the power and the passion to persevereThanks to those strengths passed on from my Grandma right hereI just want her to know, how grateful I always will beFor the patience growing up she never failed to show meFor the love, and the light, let me just sayGrandma, thank you for all the memories you sent my wayMy Grandma is a special friend, as you can tell in this rhymeThis poem is in present tense for a very good reasonIt is adapted from one I shared with her one, two timesRepeated for her enjoyment in a sunnier and happy seasonReciting it to her, is a memory we both shareI can recall it in the present, even though it's in the past tooShe is alive in me, even though she may now be elsewhereSo Rosemary, Grandma, God bless, and thank you. *** https://harryisapoet.blogspot.com/2018/09/grandma.html
