Businesslike: A poem about the need to protect your interests

01/19/2026 by Roy Sutton

Here’s a poem about the need to be businesslike.

You must always be businesslike in everything you do, especially if you’re a creative person reliant on agents and advisors. Never assume people won’t rip you off. They will, if they’re given the chance.

Easy money can tempt even normally honest people, should they feel the need.

Never take your eye off the financial ball. Failing to do so could prove very costly.

POEM ABOUT BEING BUSINESSLIKE

Remember:

Not everyone is honest. Not everyone can be trusted. Many, if not most, people can’t be trusted. Just because they seem like thoroughly decent people doesn’t mean they are.

If it’s your money, you must know where it is and have control over access to it.

If you assume you can’t trust anyone, 99.9% of the time you will be correct.

Never trust anyone who doesn’t have as much to lose as you do.

Be businesslike and protect your own interests. If you don’t, no one else will. That much can be guaranteed.

Remember, when you share, everyone wins.

So go on, please share this post now. If you can do that for me, I’ll be ever so grateful, and you’ll be helping a keen blogger reach a wider audience.

Thank you.

Poem about the dangers of Internet dating

01/19/2026 by Roy Sutton

Today I offer you a poem about the dangers of internet dating.

We live in a world where bringing together lonely hearts can be tricky. This is why internet dating was invented. However, lonely hearts are vulnerable and can be easily exploited.

And if something can be easily exploited for money, it will be. Internet dating can be a minefield for the unwary.

When looking for love online, you must be very careful. Always be conscious that if your relationship is conducted solely through cyberspace, you have no idea whether the person with whom you are interacting is genuine or not.

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.

2 Poems for today to make you think

01/14/2026 by Roy Sutton

In this post, I am offering you two poems for today.

I have never been clever with words, dear reader, but I’ve always been impressed by people who are. In particular, I like poetry and writers who are clever with verse.

So naturally, I like having a go at writing poetry and seeing whether I can produce something half-decent.

So, these are two poems written recently. The first is my reaction to the present cult of what has become known as ‘cancel culture,’ and the second reflects an incident that actually happened to me while attempting to mow my lawn at home.

If you enjoy either of these poems, please feel free to share them. They are free for anyone to share, provided they are not used for commercial gain.

1. Cancel Culture:

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.

2 poems for the homeless and less fortunate

01/13/2026 by Roy Sutton

Today, I offer some poems for the homeless, or at least to remember the challenges faced by the homeless.

I was in central London some time ago, and I couldn’t help but feel sorry for those who are homeless on our streets.

We live in difficult times, and it’s always good to remember those less fortunate than ourselves.

On my journey home, I wrote the following two poems for the homeless:

I hope you like them both.

If you do, then please feel free to share them on social media.

They’re free to circulate, as long as they’re not used for commercial purposes.

2 original poems about success to inspire you

01/12/2026 by Roy Sutton

If you’re looking for some original poems on the subject of success, then take a look at these here.

Success is something many say they want, but few are prepared to do what is necessary to achieve it.

Yes, it’s possible, and many achieve great things, but nothing happens by accident. You have to want it, and you have to want it badly.

It can be done, and people do. So can you.

2 poems about the afterlife to make you think

01/12/2026 by Roy Sutton

If it’s poems about the afterlife you seek, I have two for you today. Both are original, and I hope they appeal to you, dear reader.

As we age, it’s natural to be conscious of our mortality and reflect on death and the afterlife. This is particularly true once our parents pass away, or it has been in my experience.

So, as I have been thinking about it all, I thought capturing my thoughts in the form of poems would be a good idea.

Here they are and please feel free to share them

Poem to Celebrate the Working Class

01/09/2026 by Roy Sutton

Today, I am acknowledging the working class, those unsung heroes who rarely get their just rewards for the contributions they make.

In a world driven by ambition and big money, it’s easy to overlook the quiet strength of those good people on whom much of society depends. The people who make a difference and without whom nothing would work. In short, where would we be without the working class?

The working class, also known as the working poor or blue-collar workers, refers to people employed in occupations requiring either manual labour or modest levels of skill, often with limited financial resources and social mobility.

I don’t think such people get the credit they deserve for the contribution they make. So, in today’s poem, I thought it was time we honoured them.

These people are the hands that build, the minds that create, and the spirits that persevere through challenges most of us will never see.

Today’s poem is a tribute to those unsung heroes.

They deserve recognition, and they deserve more than they get.

Let’s take a few moments to remember ordinary people.

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.
