As It Is

By Kevin Crookes

I am a poet who likes to write about the day to day aspects of modern life.
The frustrations that happen to people and make them think why?
And laugh about.
I like to write about the fun things that my young children get up to
and the innocence in there play.
On a more serious note, I write about the events that happen in the world (Amy Winehouse, 9/11, Whitney Houston) and try to give the respect that is due to the occasion.
My main purpose is to entertain and try to make people smile when they read my work.
I hope that different people from all walks of life will find something that they can relate to in my book and enjoy reading.

Book preview

Amy Winehouse

Amy,

goodbye to you.

A talented lady,

oh how very true.

The songs you sang,

the joy you gave.

But a troubled soul,

that no one could save.

Baby

Baby you are,

the sweetest thing.

With all the joy and happiness,

that you bring.

Your little walk,

your lovely smile.

For you my darling,

I’d walk a mile.

Your little fingers,

your button nose.

Your chubby wrists,

your little toes.

The things you do,

in your special way.

I watch you grow,

every day.

I love the way,

you try to talk.

I also love,

your little walk.

When you cry,

It’s very sad,

It cuts me up,

makes me feel bad

But when you stop,

and laugh you start.

You make me smile,

and melt my heart,

You really are,

one of the sweetest tots.

Just want you to know,

I love you lots and lots!

Babe on a Bike

Driving along,

spot something that I like.

Up in front,

it’s a babe on a bike.

Cycling along,

the sun in her face.

Taking her time,

no need to race.

Riding along,

mile after mile.

As I drive past,

she makes me smile.

One last look in my mirror,

as I drive on my way.

See her smiling,

it makes my day.

Baby Wipe

It will give you,

such a fright.

If you run out,

during the night.

Tissues or toilet roll,

are not the same.

It turns something so easy,

into a pain.

Always keep,

plenty in stock.

So as to avoid,

having a shock.

Something that you,

should always pack.

If you forget,

you’ll have to turn back.

Such an essential,

thing for you.

What else is there
