Original Poetry: Life as I see it today

03/18/2026 by Roy Sutton

If you’re looking for original poetry, then I have two new poems for you today, dear reader.

They are very different, but both are definitely original.

Original Poetry

Poem about Self-Belief

Anyone can be successful at something. However, success never happens by accident.

You must want it and want it badly. You must be prepared to work hard for it, too. And your goals should be consistent with your strengths.

Nevertheless, success can be achieved, and many people do. With a little self-belief, so could you.

This poem is a reflection of how I see it.

Poem about Liverpool Life

Liverpool is my hometown. I was born and bred there, and I will always be a Scouser at heart. You can leave the city, but the city never leaves you.

I was thinking about it recently, and the local dialect and the language unique to the city.

The result was this poem.

Pronouns: Reflections on their significance

03/17/2026 by Roy Sutton

There’s a modern phenomenon where we are constantly being asked for our pronouns.

Personally, I find it strange, if only because how are we meant to remember them all? And really, it’s all just virtue signalling.

In life, we take our cue from what we see, and naturally, we try to be polite.

So, the pronoun question is surely redundant?

Here’s my take on it in a poem.

Unrequited Love: When he doesn’t notice you

03/16/2026 by Roy Sutton

Today, I am exploring the idea of unrequited love, and I’ve written an original poem for you, dear reader.

Now, many a girl has experienced the dilemma of being sweet on a boy who simply doesn’t pick up on the signals.

I’m sure many a boy has had a similar experience with a girl for whom he’s fallen.

Unrequited love is just a part of life as we know it.

Well, today, I’ve tried to consider it from the girl’s perspective, and it is reflected in the poem.

Take a look and see what you think.

Poem about money to inspire you

03/16/2026 by Roy Sutton

Today I am exploring the concept of money, and I’ve written an original poem about money.

Now, do you want to know the secret to happiness, dear reader? Do you want to know the key to success and the ticket to the good life?

Well, it’s simple – MONEY!

That’s right, I said it. Money makes the world go round, and you know it!

Now, I know what you’re probably thinking. “But Roy, money is a touchy subject. It’s not something we talk about in polite company.”

Well, maybe.

Nevertheless, I’ve written this poem about money that will get you thinking about its significance, and it might even get you to re-evaluate your relationship with those greenbacks.

This is a poem about our need for money and why we can’t live without it.

So, whether you’re a banker, a broker, a cashier, or just someone who likes to stuff their pockets with dollar bills, this poem is just for you.

Take a few moments and read this poem about money and see what you think.

It might just change the way you think about that paper in your wallet or the numbers in your bank account. And who knows – it might just make you rich!

DISCLAIMER: Reading this poem does not guarantee wealth or financial success. But it’s still worth a shot, right?

A poem about faith to get you thinking

03/16/2026 by Roy Sutton

Today, dear reader, I offer you an original poem about faith. Faith is often dismissed as being no longer relevant. I think that’s a mistake.

Consider for a moment the profound role of religious faith in our lives.

I’m sure you know that life is complex, and it’s filled with challenges and the emotional strain of dealing with other people.

Faith is like a lighthouse in the storm. It guides us and helps us avoid crashing onto the rocks. It’s a beacon of light that shines through the darkest nights, reminding us that even amid turmoil, there is a way forward.

Faith gives us hope and comfort, even in our darkest hours when everything seems bleak. It’s the assurance that no matter how tough today might be, there’s a purpose, a plan, and brighter days ahead.

In times of trial, faith is an asset that can make all the difference.

Now there are many religious faiths, and I think they all serve the same purpose. Put simply, they help us cope with life. Whichever one you believe is entirely up to you. As long as it helps you.

Without further ado, here’s today’s original poem about faith.

Poem about character

03/08/2026 by Roy Sutton

If you’re looking for an original poem about character, then you’ve come to the right place, dear reader. In fact, today, I can offer you two closely related poems.

Occasionally, I think reflecting on the people we are and how others may see us can be useful. A little introspection helps with our self-awareness, I think. So, I’ve been doing a little bit of self-analysis recently, out of which came these two poems.

The first one, called Character, reflects how I’d like to be judged.

The second poem, called Just Some Guy, reflects how I see myself.

Now, don’t assume I’m putting myself down in any way because I’m not. I’m very confident in my abilities and know how to add value to others’ lives. However, I also know that we’re all just people, and we shouldn’t assume we are in any way better than others.

Everyone has their place in this world and their own contribution to make. And everyone contributing to the lives of others deserves to be treated with respect.

Anyway, I thought I’d share these poems with you, dear reader, and you can decide on their merits, or otherwise.

If they do appeal to you, please feel free to share them.

Does voting make a difference?

03/05/2026 by Roy Sutton

Democracy is a fine thing, or so they say. However, does voting make a difference? I mean, a real difference.

I guess the supplementary question is, what do we mean by difference?

For me, making a difference would mean making life better for the majority of people, particularly ordinary working people.

Well, on that definition, in my experience, rarely does voting make any difference at all.

The rich always seem to do well; whoever has power, but ordinary people just struggle. And that struggle appears to be getting harder, particularly for young people.

Does voting make a difference?

The State of Politics:

The current state of politics is not impressive. Quite the contrary, in fact.

Ideas currently being promoted appear to be insane. Certainly, they have nothing to do with improving the lives of the majority.

It seems most politicians are focused on further improving the lives of the wealthy few at the expense of ordinary people.

The Puppet Masters:

And there’s another question that crosses my mind frequently these days. Who is actually in charge?

Is it the elected government, or are there individuals behind the scenes who make the real decisions? I mean, individuals who control and manipulate politicians and events.

Judging by the evidence before us in recent years, you would have to believe there are puppet masters who really pull the strings.

Voting Poems:

So, dear reader, what do you think? Am I wrong?

While you consider that question, here are two original poems that sum up my current view of politics and the voting system.

1. Voting:

2. The Puppet Masters:

Please share these poems:

So, dear reader, did you enjoy any of these poems? I hope you did, anyway.

If you enjoyed what you’ve read in this post, please share it all with your friends on social media.

When you share, everyone wins.

So go on, please share it now.

I appreciate your support, dear reader. Thank you.

3 philosophical poems to get you thinking

01/15/2026 by Roy Sutton

Today, I thought I’d share three philosophical poems written by me. Well, it’s philosophy as I see it, anyway.

All are original, and they reflect how I see the world.

Enjoy them, and please feel free to share them.

In particular, if you could share them on Pinterest for me, that would be helpful.

Philosophical Poems:

1. Opportunity Poem:

Life is tough, and it’s easy to believe that there’s no hope. It’s easy to think that your life can’t get better.

However, in life, there will always be an endless stream of opportunities.

People will always have problems, and providing solutions to those problems can be a great way to make money.

So, instead of accepting your lot in life, seize the day and create the life you want.

Here is my philosophy neatly summarized in a poem.

2. Another Opportunity Poem:

If other people can seize opportunities, so can you. Yes, it’s not easy. However, it can be done, and people do. So can you!

3. Judgement Poem

None of us can know the personal battles others are fighting. So never be too quick to judge.

Unless you’ve walked two miles in someone’s shoes, give them the benefit of the doubt.

Offer your support, not your judgment.

Again, here is my philosophy neatly summarized in a poem.

Please share this post with your friends:

So, dear reader, did you enjoy any of these philosophical poems? I hope you did, anyway.

If you did enjoy what you’ve read in this post, please share it all with your friends on social media. When you share, everyone wins.

So go on, please share it now.

I appreciate your support, dear reader. Thank you.

State of the Nation – A poem for today

01/15/2026 by Roy Sutton

Today, it is the state of the nation I have on my mind. My nation is the United Kingdom, and with that, we’re all frustrated. However, I suspect people in every nation feel like that most of the time.

Now, I like poetry, and I like trying to write poetry. So, I thought I’d express my feelings in the form of a poem.

Yes, I’ve got a long way to go before I’ll get anywhere near the great poets, of course. However, we’ve all got to start somewhere.

Anyway, if my words resonate with you, please feel free to share this poem.

I appreciate your support, dear reader. Thank you.

Marriage and its joys in the form of a poem

01/14/2026 by Roy Sutton

Once again, I’ve been trying to write poetry. On this occasion, I’ve been exploring the concept of marriage. A subject to which most of us are drawn at some point in our lives.

At this point, it might be worth quoting the great Scottish comedian, Billy Connolly:

“Marriage is a wonderful invention. Then again, so is a bicycle repair kit.”

Anyway, I hope you find my latest poetic offering appealing. And if my words do resonate with you, then please feel free to share this poem with your friends or on Pinterest.

I appreciate your support, dear reader. Thank you.
