Achieve Greatness
Rictameter poem
Syllables 2-4-6-8-10
And return.
Study
art of masters
never is it too late
to leave futilities behind
and enter an evening college gate
be one of the poetic kind
even higher than great
'now' is time to
Study

Darling Summer
Summer forgot to say 'farewell'
she is on vacation, I can tell...
winter is standing in once more
with gusty winds across the shore.
She comes and goes as is her right
Mr Sun travels with her ~ that's alright,
because tomorrow on the noonday train,
darling summer will be ours again.
Life is dark when she's not here
but a first-class ticket calms our fear
glowing warmth will comfort each bone
when darling summer comes back home.

Fairy Fever
Forty words:
The fairy queen's teardrops are falling
She sneezes all summer long.
Innocent recipient of pollen
Blame histamine's fairy song.
The reason is the sunflower season
Fairy ring carnivals galore,
The scenery is really beautiful
But fairies want fever no more.

FIFA World Cup 1966
Forty words:
Red wine filled the goblets
Salad filled the bowl
Flowers adorned the tables
Acknowledging the winning goal.
Joyous laughter everywhere,
Happiness lifted each soul
when 'Germany played England'...
a day of excitement to remember
as England stole the leading role.
