Poetry thread

I quite like writing poetry and so I thought I'd start a thread - please post your poems here. The first one I want to share is one I posted on another thread recently, about autistic people being typecast.

It's called "I don't wanna be typecast"

I don't wanna be typecast, I'm not a Tinpot

Unimportant, inferior or worthless, I'm not.

I'm not a savant, no genius IQ

But I'm not stupid, I can learn stuff too.

Don't think there is no emotion there

I have empathy, consideration and care

I don't wanna be typecast, no matter what we do

We're all individuals, I'm me and you're you

  • I've been trying to write a humorous poem -this is the best I've come up with so far.

    I call it "Friends with differences"

    Aspen and Norman
    Were walking on the sand
    Aspen was delighted
    To see shells close at hand
    Aspen said "The sun is setting, see the pink and gold?"
    Norman said "it's getting dark, and also rather cold"

    Aspen and Norman
    Were walking into town
    Norman was delighted
    To see the Horse and Crown
    Norman said "Lets have some drinks, we might find some new mates"
    Aspen said "Its getting dark, and also rather late"

    Aspen and Norman
    Walked to the cinema
    To watch a motion picture
    That was set among the stars
    Norman said "It's great that we both like this film, that's groovy!"
    Aspen said "Its getting dark, shut up and watch the movie"
