Hey guys!
I've always fancied myself as abit if a poet, and so seeing my daughter start her gcses and begin studying poetry, inspired me to take it up again ...

Only a had time to write a quick one, with a few wines for courage.. just wondering what you guys think, any feedback appreciated x

You might want to read this thread again in the morning when you’ve sobered up a bit

Well it’s interesting enough to read to the end.
My suggestions would be to run it through a spell check and be more definitive about your theme and be sure about what it is you want to say.
Best of luck.

But that would be like watching phone footage from the night before. No one needs that in their life. (Thank God I'm too old to have to overly worry about that- if my worst moments were filmed my life would be very different. As probably most of us) xx

I like to write
Late at night

After some wine
But now it’s bedtime

Some spelling mistakes
But is it quite late

In the morning
I’ll be yawning

I’ll be re-reading
Pain in my head I’ll be feeling

I've read worse. It made me chuckle, the basic theme is good. But it needs a spell check.

I liked it. Funny and tongue in cheek like Wendy Cope.

Provided you were just being humorous and didn't think this was actually poetry, all good.
