My poems usually try to be humourous in some way, but when the world isn’t a pleasant place to be, it’s hard to find any fun within. I wrote this poem in pieces as I watched on redundantly while my daughter was hospitalised throughout Christmas, and I saw it all through a window and myContinue reading “Crap Poems Part 18 – The Worried Parent”

Crap Poems Part 17 – Too Early
Welcome to another Crap Poem. Yes, that’s right, I’m continuing my meander through the forest of festivities by bringing you another group of rhymes about the maple-glazed time of year we call Christmas. I have created several posts about the festivities already, all from my own point of view. I think it’s obvious I’m someoneContinue reading “Crap Poems Part 17 – Too Early”
Crap Poems part 16 – Lest we forget
Welcome to another crap poem. On this occasion, the rhyme I’ve created takes a more sombre tone as we pass over another Remembrance Sunday and pay our respects to the true heroes of our world, both past and present. I was taught little about both world wars as a child, and most of my understandingContinue reading “Crap Poems part 16 – Lest we forget”
Crap poems part 15 – Heavy blanket, heavy sleep
Welcome to another crap poem! I’ve been searching for ways to keep our family warm through the cost of living crisis. Like so many other bill payers, if my utilities rise any further I don’t know how we’ll manage. Simple things like blankets and hoodies are at the ready, including my daughters super soft fleeceContinue reading “Crap poems part 15 – Heavy blanket, heavy sleep”
Crap Poems part 14 – Covid-19
Welcome to another crap poem! It’s been a weird week and my chronic pain and mental strain have both been suffering since I contracted covid via our daughter. Annoying. It’s difficult to describe the aching that the coughing causes, the stomach cramps, the arm aches and the anger that you feel because the coughing makesContinue reading “Crap Poems part 14 – Covid-19”
Crap Poems Part 13 – Rain
Welcome to another Crap Poem as part of my Creative Coping Strategies campaign. It’s been a quiet couple of weeks following the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth ii, but I decided that, not only could I draw something to dedicate to her passing, I could also write a poem. So, although I tried, IContinue reading “Crap Poems Part 13 – Rain”
Crap Poems Part 12 – Make up
Welcome to another crap poem. I can’t quite believe I’ve written twelve of these things! Yesterday I spent some time in the mirror for the first time in over a week, and it was difficult, which has made me cross. I love wearing make up. As most of my real pictures show, I use eyelinerContinue reading “Crap Poems Part 12 – Make up”
Crap poems part 11 – Coping
Welcome to another entry to my series of ‘Crap Poems’. With the news in the media being so bleak, and the weather impacting my joints pretty badly, I’ve found myself struggling to hold it together recently. Most days are tearful, with an internal struggle to decipher what’s most important – brain, bills, body or beingContinue reading “Crap poems part 11 – Coping”
Crap Poems Part 10 – Bills, bills, bills
Welcome to another Crap Poem post. I’m still on a mission to keep things as light-hearted as possible, but in a break from the norm I’ve been finding myself drawn to writing a poem about the problem every household in the UK is talking about… Bills. It’s a nightmare of epic proportions and I knowContinue reading “Crap Poems Part 10 – Bills, bills, bills”
Crap Poems Part 9 – Hostile Environment
Welcome to another Crap Poem! This time I’m applying my basic, silly, rhyming stylings to a world that I’ve found impossible to be welcomed in, let alone penetrate. Yes, the publishing industry is a busy place, with many writers (myself included) desperately looking to find their tiny break. But there are rules and regulations aroundContinue reading “Crap Poems Part 9 – Hostile Environment”
