Poem about lifestyle choices

01/09/2026 by Roy Sutton

It is a fact that frequently, other people will try to tell us how we should live our lives or express disapproval of our lifestyle choices in some way.

For some reason, they think they get to decide what is or isn’t the correct way that we should conduct ourselves.

Now I agree with the idea of right and wrong. I accept that certain things are universally considered wrong. Stealing, for instance, or cheating on a loyal partner. Essentially, this means doing things that hurt other people.

However, if you choose to live in a way that does not hurt anyone else, why should that be anyone’s business but your own?

If you’re not hurting or bothering anyone else, surely you should be free to live as you please.

I was thinking about this yesterday, and my thoughts very quickly turned into a poem, which I thought I’d share with you, dear reader.

I hope it proves thought-provoking. Please feel free to share it on Pinterest or your preferred social media app.

Political Poem: The Guy in Number 10

01/09/2026 by Roy Sutton

Today I offer you a political poem.

Leave me alone with my thoughts for long and, very quickly, my thoughts will be turned into verse for the record.

Now one of life’s great disappointments, for me at least, is politicians. They always promise a great deal, but rarely do they ever improve anything for ordinary people. Invariably, they are driven only by self-interest.

Over the years, my views on our political leaders have not been positive. However, I cannot think of a worse bunch in my lifetime, than the current crop of third raters dominating politics wherever you look. That’s certainly true here in the UK. And I’m not referring to a single political party. Mediocrity is the order of the day across the political spectrum.

Anyway, I turned my thoughts into a poem, which I share with you today.

If you like it, please feel free to share it.

Poem about mistakes and why they’re important

01/09/2026 by Roy Sutton

We all make mistakes, and they can be frustrating.

Let’s face it, mistakes are inevitable, at least occasionally. However, remember this: mistakes are invaluable too.

We learn more from our mistakes than we could ever learn in a classroom. Every mistake we make is a lesson in disguise, offering us insights that no textbook or training could ever provide. And these are lessons we’ll never forget.

Mistakes form the basis of that valuable commodity known as experience.

If we embrace our mistakes and take the lessons from them, this is how we develop mastery in whatever we’re doing.

A willingness to embrace mistakes is what separates the average from the exceptional.

You too can be exceptional if you’re willing to make mistakes and learn from them.

Never fear mistakes. They are your best teacher.

To help you reflect on the points made here, allow me to offer you a poem about mistakes.

Patriotism poem to get you thinking

01/09/2026 by Roy Sutton

If you’re looking for a patriotism poem, dear reader, I have an original one for you today.

I’m always fascinated by the reaction to displays of patriotism, particularly by the mainstream media here in Britain. It usually involves subtle mocking or sneering, and it is rarely considered a noble thing. Perhaps that’s just the way it is here.

However, what’s wrong with people feeling a deep sense of connection with their roots? What’s wrong with people feeling a sense of belonging and pride in their nation?

Surely, patriotism fosters unity, strength, and a collective spirit that uplifts everyone.

I’m not an enthusiastic flag-waver by nature, but I am quietly proud of my roots and it’s certainly an important part of my sense of identity.

Anyway, having given the issue some thought recently, I wrote a patriotism poem to reflect how I felt about it.

I hope it will get you thinking about patriotism a little.

Roy Sutton In My Own Write

01/08/2026 by Roy Sutton

Readers may be interested to know that I’m currently compiling a book of my observational poetry, which will have the title “IN MY OWN WRITE” and I hope will be released soon.

With that in mind, I have compiled a poem to go with the title, and I offer you a preview of it today. The pun is intended, of course.

Essentially, it reflects what I do. I try to make sense of the world around me. That’s not always as easy as it should be, but that’s life.

Anyway, I hope my poem appeals to you, dear reader.

1 word salad in a poem: An attempt to be positive

01/08/2026 by Roy Sutton

If the 2024 United States presidential election gave us anything, it gave us the idea of a word salad.

If you follow politics, you’ve probably noticed how politicians can talk for several minutes and say nothing significant. They respond to questions, but they never answer them. Instead, you get a word salad of platitudes and meaningless guff. And they wonder why the public no longer takes them seriously.

Recent elections in Britain and the United States have provided numerous examples of this phenomenon. So much so that I was moved to write today’s poem.

If you like it, please feel free to share it.

Neanderthal Man: A poem about a modern phenomenon

01/07/2026 by Roy Sutton

For those unfamiliar with the term, Neanderthal man was a subspecies of humans that lived in Europe and Asia from around 400,000 to 40,000 years ago. In this context, the word ‘man’ is being used as a synonym for human beings.

In theory, this subspecies is long gone. Nevertheless, when we see how some people behave during modern protests, we must wonder whether this is true.

Don’t get me wrong, protesting is a valid form of making your voice heard in any democracy. People are entitled to protest if they feel they have a genuine grievance and their voices are not being heard.

Where I do have a problem, though, is when protest descends into violence, vandalism, and destruction of property. I think that’s unnecessary. Certainly, it’s unlikely to win over hearts and minds, in my opinion.

Anyway, I summarised my thoughts on this subject in the form of a poem, which I thought I’d share with you, dear reader.

It’s just how I see it. You may see it differently, and that’s fine. We all have our opinions on these things.

If you like the poem, feel free to share it.

Remember the golden age of flying?

01/05/2026 by Roy Sutton

There was a golden age of flying, and I was lucky to experience some of it.

In my professional life, I was in an international role before I became a digital entrepreneur. So, I travelled by air a lot over many years. I have flown thousands of times in every class, including first. I even flew on Concorde back in the day. All of these were great experiences in those days, even when you were in the economy section.

However, that’s not the case today. Recently, I went on a trip to Gibraltar, and I was reminded of the challenges of modern air travel.

Fly economy today, and it’s a very different experience. There are no frills; you get very little space and absolutely no comfort.

In the age of budget airlines, even the big players like British Airways have had to strip out costs to be able to compete on price.

So, flying has become inexpensive, relatively speaking, but it has come at a significant cost in terms of the overall experience. That’s life, I guess. You get what you pay for.

Anyway, whilst waiting for my economy class flight to Gibraltar, I set my experience to verse, and I share it with you today.

If you like it, please feel free to share it.

I’m sure most readers will recognise the challenges of modern air travel.

Original poem about hope at the start of the year

01/01/2026 by Roy Sutton

If you’re searching for an original poem about hope at the start of the year, then this post is for you, dear reader.

The turn of a new year has a quiet power of its own, don’t you think?

It arrives without asking, carrying both the weight of what we’ve lived through and the fragile promise of what has yet to happen.

Naturally, we pause to take stock. We think about those plans we made and some we’ve broken. We reflect on lessons learned the hard way and on those hopes we’re still brave enough to hold onto.

A new year doesn’t erase the past, but it offers a new chapter. Our future has yet to be written, but as the new year begins, we’re holding the pen.

Yes, certainty is in short supply, and politically, there is nothing but gloom.

We can’t predict what the months ahead will have in store, but we can choose to face whatever life throws at us with resilience, gratitude for our health, and a willingness to keep moving forward even when the path is unclear.

Here is an original poem I wrote that captures that shared moment of looking ahead with honesty and hope, acknowledging both our lack of control and our enduring desire to believe that something good may still be waiting.

So, please look at this latest poem, and if you like it, feel free to share it on social media.

However, allow me first to offer you my best wishes, dear reader. I hope the year ahead is kind to you.

Another Christmas poem that will make you think

12/24/2025 by Roy Sutton

If you’re looking for a Christmas poem, I’ve written one to make you think.

As the end of November approaches here in London, the Christmas season is getting into full swing. Young children dream about their ideal gifts, and hard-pressed parents do their best to fulfil those dreams within the limits of their income.

It’s a wonderful time of year, especially if you’re lucky enough to have young children or grandchildren.

However, there’s another side to Christmas, and it’s often overlooked. Not everyone’s having a great time, and family tensions can often explode when too much alcohol has been consumed.

And, in the modern age, many people live alone. At Christmas, that can be depressing. Such people are easily forgotten, and, for them, that can make them feel very lonely. This is particularly true for the elderly.

So, my message today is, if you’re celebrating Christmas, be kind, be considerate, and let sleeping dogs lie. Old grievances don’t matter anymore. If they’re in the past, leave them there.

As suggested above, I recorded my thoughts on this in the form of a poem that I share with you today.
