Stepping Stones: Tommy’S Book of Poetry Ii

By Tommy Rhys Andrews

I have been writing poetry for the largest part of my life. In my work, I have included many different possible life-like situations through the use of imagination, truth, and creativity. If you enjoy reading about life, happiness, disaster, and questionable debatable topics whilst asking questions along the way during your journeys in and out of fantasy and reality, then youll enjoy this book. This is the second book in the series created for your entertainment. God bless and enjoy the words within.

Introduction

My name is Tommy, no longer Matt.

This is the follow-up to Footpath.

I’ve been through a lot since I wrote that.

I’ve been through all sorts of hell, some stories I won’t tell

For all different reasons, some things I won’t sell.

So here’s another random mix

Of rhyming stories to be told.

You will see a lifestyle, it’ll begin to unfold.

Now then, my fellow people,

Keep learning what’s true.

I’m inviting everybody,

That’s including you.

What I said has been acknowledged,

Information’s fed to you on a tray,

So before I forget…

…HAVE A NICE DAY!!

Looking

I don’t look for fans,

It’s just not for me

Because fans can just vanish

Like a leaf on a tree.

I don’t look for money

In this silly old world

Because I’m too busy

To even look for a girl.

I don’t look for fame

Because I don’t like a crowd,

Also because I

Don’t like noise to be loud.

I don’t look for alcohol,

I don’t like to be drunk,

I may as well be straight edge

And become a monk.

I don’t look for using

My friends from above,

I just look for happiness,

I just look for love.

Busy Railway Station

As I chain my blue bike to the motorcycle stands,

I walk past the people with cigarettes in their hands.

Taxis, Buses, Vans and Company Cars around,

I began to walk towards the door as I look down to the ground.

I walk past the shop, where people get their food and drink

And head towards the ticket barrier as I begin to think.

Cafe’s, toilets and shops and vending machines, people everywhere.

All on separate travels, nobody seems to care.

The television-timetable which reads the time of the train,

People in thick jackets, just in case of any rain.

Security guards with handcuffs attached to their belt,

Ready to cuff any person without a ticket to be felt.

Information desks are swarmed by people who gather around like flies.

People meeting and leaving
