Short poems.
Autumn, misty and foggy time of year,
With winter's approach hard to bear,
Herring boned clouds streaked pink and gold
A wonderous sight to behold.
When Autumn leaves tease the breeze,
And falls to earth to take their ease.
Reminds usmore, that life is brief,
For those of us saddened by grief.
Frank Waller. August 2024
It's such a lark to walk and roam the park.
Kicking fallen leaves o our heart's content
Watch dogs scramble and gambol dawn to dark.
On footpaths and grounds in joyful intent.
See squirrels scamper to fill their hampers
Herring boned clouds streaked pink and gold above
Whilst bees buzz for their honey to pamper.
Conjures up memories of times we love.
Harvest festivals, annual thanksgiving
Churches filled with vegetables and fruit,
To hopefully allay all misgivings
God thanked for the bounty of Spring's green shoots.
Autumn, misty and foggy time of year.

The almighty God who reigns on high
Decrees the hour you're going to die.
So eschew remorse, regrets and sighs,
Even instances when you have cried.
But living life fully still applies.
Leave Him to weigh your life and decide
When the Grim Reaper wields his scythe
And lets you murmur your last goodbyes.
Have faith and hope as the end draws nigh
Souls will be redeemed when He arrives!!

Your every wish
Need just a command
Your every command
My desire to fulfil
Your every desire
Is my consummate wish!
The healing process of meditation
Acts as a source of medication.
So meditate on medication
And thus medicate by meditation.
Frank Waller. August 1997
Osama bin Laden, may his tribe decrease;
Awoke one night to find his dream had ceased.
From that moment on will he know no peace?
Yea, verily even when he becomes deceased.
Allah be praised for his early earthly release!
Only then will anger, anguish and sorrow ease
And sanity return to a world well pleased.
Frank Waller. June 2008
When apple blossoms shed their petals,
Apples emerge to show their metal.
But Autumn's haste brings windblown fallens
To blush the cheeks of Strawberry Norman.
The orchard's stillness disturbed by hornets,
Made quite drunk by Norman's fallens
Quick, bring baskets to pick up Norman
To make scrumpy for Hereford Yeomen.

Swine flu leaves us so abused
A pocket full of tissues
Atishoo, tishoo, atishoo
Watch out for germs that issue
Use your tissue when you atishoo
Then bin that tissue where germs can't issue!!

“Tempus Fugit”
You cannot avoid it!
So why ignore it?
Pull out the digit,
Don't be an idiot
Live life to the full
And that's no “bull”
Regrets you'll have none,
When all's said and done!!
