A poem about the joys of marriage

01/22/2023 by Roy Sutton

Once again, I’ve been trying to write poetry. On this occasion, I’ve been exploring the idea 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 my latest poetic offering appeals to you. And if my words do resonate with you, then please feel free to share this poem with your friends or on Pinterest.

Thank you for your support, dear reader. It’s truly appreciated.

State of the Nation

01/09/2023 by Roy Sutton

I like poetry and I like trying to write poetry.

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

Today, as I sat thinking about the state of my own nation, I wrote this poem. On reflection, it probably reflects the state of many nations.

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

Thank you for your support, dear reader. It’s truly appreciated.

Graduation Poem: An alternative perspective

09/20/2022 by Roy Sutton

If you’ve landed on this page, dear reader, you might just be looking for a graduation poem.

I’ve written one for you, but perhaps not one you might expect.

Most graduation poems are a celebration of the moment, and there’s nothing wrong with that approach. It’s the culmination of years of hard work, after all.

However, in the modern age, it seems that many young people look back and wonder whether the burden of student debt was worth it, in terms of the potential return on the money and time invested.

You can decide on the merits or otherwise of that argument, of course, but I thought it might be interesting to offer an alternative perspective. One that might be considered more realistic, possibly?

If you like it, feel free to share it on social media.

Graduation Poem:

I received a fine certificate

Wore gown and mortar board

Proud parents taking photographs

For memories, they will hoard

The Rector warmly greeted us

He spoke of futures bright

He said we’ll all get well-paid jobs

Well, at least he said, some might

A degree once had real value

But it doesn’t anymore

When everybody’s got one

Employers know the score

Three years of diligent study

Now tinged with some regret

For two hours in the limelight

Was it worth incurring debt?

2 Poems for today to make you think

06/27/2022 by Roy Sutton

I have never been clever with words, dear reader, but I’ve always been impressed with those 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.

Today I offer you two poems that I wrote yesterday. 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 whilst attempting to mow our lawn at home.

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