Poetry

I am very pleased to publish two poems, it gratifies me to know that my dollars spent on the education of my remarkable children have not been wasted. 

The Poetry Reader

By Andrew Hardwicke-Brown

If you could do anything what would it be?

I would be someone who read poetry

Sonnets, Hiaku, I'd read them all

Reading poetry would be a ball

 

Reading free verse I would do just fine

I would take control and make it mine

 

If I were to be a poety reader I would not pout

But unfortunately for me I am just a LOUT. 

More prose for the poetry reader

by Michael Hardwicke Brown

Though a lout I certainly am 

Still I dream to be

A most articulate and eloquent man

Reading the  most expressive poetry

Alas, recently my hopes have been dashed

and I realized I am not worse off dead

I got drunk, slipped on a step at Tiffs, crashed

bruising several ribs and hitting my head

Now I'm rendered immobile, in utter pain and disgrace

With a monument of my stupidity placed upon my face
