Chatting To The Driver
**********************************************************************************************************************************************
These are the poems I have chosen to be included in the anthology, ‘Chatting to the Driver.’ They are all the winners and a selection from the ones sent in to the ‘Poet of the Week competition, but by votes cast, did not win that particular week.
A wide range of subjects has been covered from
wheelie bin world to luxury in Luxor and from a chance meeting on a train to an overpowering addiction to chocolate. I think they are all well worth reading again.

Age – Claire Seaman
Fades, beaten
Down by the sun
Illuminating
Age, skin, wrinkles,
Life, on-going, fading
Drifting, she sits
In the window
The sun, fading life
Drifting clouds across
The sky
Bring tears
Upon that window
The cheeks, the tears of rain
Drifting, slowly fading, weeping on

The Dream - Ben Shevlin
I want to be a sportsman
I want to play for England
I want to be better than the rest
I want to drink with George Best
The impossible dream
I want a girl in every town
I want to feel up not down
I want to be set free
I want you to come to me
The impossible dream
I want to be a millionaire
I want someone to help me share
I want to run a 4 minute mile
I want to relax for a while
The impossible dream
I want to go travelling
I want too see the Northern lights
I want too see all the worlds sights
I want an end to the lonely nights
The impossible dream?
I want my words to be read
I want you to understand what I’ve said
I want my words to be published
I want to achieve all I’ve wished
The possible dream.
