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.

If you liked this poem about being businesslike, please share it with your friends on social media.

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.

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.

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:

2. Sunday Morning:

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.

Poem about success (and another about the past)

01/12/2026 by Roy Sutton

If it’s a poem about success you’re seeking, dear reader, I have an original one for you today.

It’s a poem that reflects my personal philosophy regarding success. That is, you have to make it happen yourself. No one ever became successful without putting in the hard yards first. However, everyone can enjoy success if they really want it and they’re prepared to work hard for it.

Anyway, take a look and see what you think.

In addition to a poem about success, I also have an original poem about the past for you.

Far too many people assume that because their past has been less than perfect, that will prevent them from achieving success in the future.

That’s simply not true.

You can start from where you are, use what you’ve got, and build the future you want.

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