My Sister and Me: Poems and Rhymes

By Kelvin Smith

This second book of poetry and verse by the Author is typical of his style of writing. The different moods and personalities within his stories, whether fact or fiction, reflects on the limitless issues within his own life and that of others that he picks up when he sees and hears the world around him.

Its hoped the reader will recognise and recollect their own thoughts and emotions within these observations of life as we know it, even when at times theyre said with tongue in cheek, along with the usual portion of nonsense and laughter.

Kelvin Smith

This collection of poems, or rhymes as Kelvin calls them, is just a few of literally thousands he has written over the years since he started writing at secondary school at the age of eleven back in the ’60s. So when you read any of the author’s poems, they can well have been written at various times of his life, by a teenager, by a young father, by a middle-aged man, or indeed, by a grandfather in his sixties, which he is now.

MY SISTER AND ME

(On the photo alongside)

My sister and me

Down by the sea,

I'm on the left -

She's taller than me.

She's quite protective

And as you can see,

She dressed to impress --

But quite oddly.

I got used to the point

And many a stare,

My sister and me

(Well me and the bear!)

I never found out

If she looks like me,

Or if she still does

Now she's over sixty.

We've had a good life

Though she's out of her tree,

(Me and the bear)

My sister and me.

IT'S NOT A CRIME

(To Rhyme all the Time)

It's not a crime

To rhyme all the time

And now I'm mature enough,

To say that blank verse

Does make me curse

And I don't like that stuff.

And to those who compose

Free verse and prose

And others that always rhyme,

Let's all dare

To Scarborough Fair

Cause rhyming's a true friend of mine.

No rhyme or reason

Love or Treason
