Baby
Baby
One year old. This could happen?
I could fall down the plug hole,
Or down the loo,
Or get sucked up by a balloon,
Get eaten by a monster,
Get licked to death by a dog,
Or even dragged along by Velcro’s,
Stuck to the pavement by chewing gum,
Trodden on by all the shoes,
Washed by a passing car,
Falling off a sky scraper
No Poppy’s not here to save me.
Gobbed on by some passer by.
I could even get squashed by a doughnut,
Float up in the sky inside a bubble,
Get hit on the head by a falling star,
Become pink from Candyfloss,
Have a race with a helicopter, when on my bike
Or even get squashed by a Telly Tubby,
Get jumped on by Eeyore
Said “Hallo” to, by a worm
Maybe I’ll get pregnant by an ant
Oh! Got my finger stuck up my nose
And if you’re good you’ll get to sit on some big giant’s knee
He goes “Ho ho ho” and pats his tummy.
I wonder how many children he had for tea.

Spirit by Vicky Mc
Spirit
You’ll find me where the river runs deep.
And where the frost is settling.
Where the wind soars in the trees
But I will not be seen.
I am the spirit
That goes from land to land
The spirit of an Angel.
The person who touches you
With gentle feather I touch you
Whichever way I look, wherever I turn
You are there with your wonder and care
You whisper so tender a word
And take care of my spirit.
The earth is still alive
And my spirit still soars.

Ageism
You’re too old
Don’t you think you should cut your hair?
Don’t you think you should dress more conventionally?
Don’t you think you should try some make up to hide under?
Don’t you think you need a face-lift?
Don’t you think you need a boob job?
Don’t you think you need a bum lift?
Don’t you think you need to grow up?
Don’t you think you need?
Don’t you think you need to get rid of those lines?
Your age is showing.
Don’t you think you should have botox?
Don’t you think you should cover that grey?
Don’t you think you should give up dancing?
Don’t you think you should give up pubs?
Don’t you think you should get a bus pass?
Don’t you think you should give up your bicycle?
Oh! You look like a poet!
Don’t you think you should go to Bingo?
It’s almost time to give up who you are
And move to a flat or a bungalow even?

Rohan tree by Vicky McWilliams
Rohan tree a collection of poetry from Vicky McWilliams
This poetry is not afraid to confront our horrors and our nightmares. More importantly it dares to look beyond, to imagine a better world. It knows that we have to look out for one another, the old adage is true: “united we stand, divided we are lumbered”.
