Goodbye Pete Burns – a poem
You were a butterfly in a hurricane
You were a salmon against the tide
Your outward persona; A media sensation
But no one knew the hurt inside
A spinning record of emotion
And a mouth that spoke your mind
With a vicious quip that could curdle milk
And the intention of being unkind
The most genuine person you could wish to meet
And certainly the most unique
Your personal style was a joy to behold
But the tabloids labelled you as a freak
An untimely death and then you were gone
They say that only the good die young
So we’ll say farewell with a tear in our eyes
And we’ll grieve; there’s no more songs to be sung

In Fawkes’ Name – a poem
The dusk is filled with stars and Magic
The smell of bonfire is in the air
The light is piercing thru clouds a-crack’d
Whilst verdant leaves burn in their lair
Jack Frost hasn’t paid a visit
He’s unwelcome for a month or two
But Jack-o-Lantern’s burning brightly
In the smoky, dusky hue
Early eve as dark as midnight
Scorpio’s shadow looms ever near
Promises of rainbow explosions
Expectant feeling in the air
Then comes the time for burning powder
Light the blue touch, watch the sky
Autumn’s festival upon us
Whilst nature’s kind hide nervously by
The foxes care not for loud explosions
The blackbird’s song is silenced by flame
Domestic pets will hide and glower
Whilst fun is had in Fawkes’ name
