PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I remember when I was young I was with my dad in our ranch, and he had set up a contraption on the table. At the time I didn’t know what it was, I just knew that it was a big box with some knobs and needles to indicate something, and while I was looking at that contraption my dad was wrapping some copper wire to a slim but big square of wood. Afterwards, he told me what he was doing, he was making an antenna for the contraption, which was like a radio, at first I remember not understanding because I hadn´t seen that kind of radios in my life, he then told me how that was a long distance radio that could pick up signals from really far away. The next day I noticed how he always liked to listen to the radio, in total he has 3 high quality radios that he uses, although he used to have four, one of them was accidentally destroyed by me when I was a little kid, he usually uses his radio to hear some soccer games, but once in a while he uses part of his time to listen to other stations from around the world. He has told me that when he was a student, he heard the news from other countries and learned how radios work, it is quite fascinating. I believe that his love for radios started since he was a child and he bought a HAM radio kit and he assembled it, then when he was a teen he worked on summer break and what he decided to do during that vacation was to buy something for his dad. So he bought a radio that was expensive at the time, and that is when he really got a passion for them, at the beginning I didn’t understand why he liked to use them so much, but then I understood that it was because he has used them all his life and he does not need to see an image to imagine what is happening, that is why he can easily hear a soccer match or a college football game without losing focus. This love for radios made my dad a great listener, he can listen to people for hours, and that is something I was not aware until now.

Bethan, Felicity, Oliver too

had to write a poem to you

came to see you last friday

about the life of Stormy

a fitting send off he had

of which the family is glad

and partially thanks to you

and also the rest of the crew

highlighting issue of veterans

Arctic Stars not getting them

some did, through the post

an utter disgrace I propose

forces must have top brass

envelopes show little class

we'd be speaking German by now

if my dads generation kowtow'd

Stormy's send off, can't stop there

government must show us they care

MP's best wishes, convoy museum

with respect for their freedom

owed to the likes of my dad

of his friendship, many so glad

thanks again for your interest in

dads adventures on a ship of tin

that at minus 60 was a fridge

yet dad was brave, didn't flinch

he dived in one time

icy waters without a line

deadly waters, can kill in a minute

bravery like that, WW2, bound to win it

now he's in a much better place

full of love and the divine's grace

no wars to fight, money too

his battle for life, couldn't loose

he is with the family always

now walking heaven's hallways

hey guys forgot to say

greetings Bridge FM how do you do

just had to write a poem to you

loving your great tunes

Must tell you what i do

I can help your listeners too

i'v been staying with my olds

they are ancient dont you know

been struggling with the cold

so had my van, needed a tow

I normally live far from here

parents struggling, i stay near

would like to do this with no fear

my meagre resources see myself clear

something happened at christmas time

which added to my skills sublime

im a human holistic healer sometimes

found out i can do the equine

came across one crazy horse

in a few mins quiet as a mouse

i asked my angelic healing force

to go to work on the horse

within a minute or two

the horse was so quiet: true

the rider was ungreatful too

me clearing up the horsed spook

have done it again since too

on the telephone, another horse blue

can do it for listeners too

to them a challenge i now issue

find me the crazyest pet or horse

ill calm it for nothing of course

then your listeners can feel the force

healing angels part of the course

i can also find water too

many springs in the vale: True

farmers water bills cause them blues

angels wont see you thirsty too

between both amazing gifts i have

id like to think cottage industry perhaps

then i can stay, look after mum n dad

if i cant gonna be well sad

its evident the last year for my dad

helping pets and horses in the Vale

and finding water, forget pales

high pressure and good quality

and my finding never fails

proper maps of the regions springs

dotted about, praises i sing

better than water tap bringing

costs a fortune when cattle drinking

big love from Daz the Druid

expert in rhyme, crazy animals; fluids

natural, both things, i can do it

need help, ill be round to do it?

In the beginning, there were only conspiracy theories; wild ramblings of those who warned of something that was being created for our demise. Night after night, late night radio shows were mad with words of destruction and the coming day, telling the people to prepare for a plague the world had never seen; to be ready for the end of our civilization. No one listened. People continued on and the world remained; until rumors begin to spread of a strange illness. Though the media was quick to discredit anyone spreading such rumors, and experts were always on hand to give mundane explanations, this strange new illness moved faster than those trying to play it down. For that day predicted, the world's refusal to listen would be its downfall.

If I were to tell a deaf man of the radio,
I would start with the promise it brings.
The hope springing in your heart when you press the button,
The chance, that your favorite song, or perhaps a potential favorite comes on.
The feeling of rushing down the highway, with your window down.
Dancing, like you honestly don’t care.
Because you don’t.
Nothing, in your mind, could tear you down
Because when the wind is in your hair
and you are hopping and jiving in your seat,
You are unstoppable.
You can be whoever you want to be with the press of a button.
From thug, to classical musician, to a Latin dancer, and back.
The possibilities are endless…
But then again,
how selfish would it be, to describe such a thing to a person incapable of experiencing such magic?
