Builder Poet

 

I love to construct

there is joy in building

a bridge a home or a toy

I've always loved building

I've always designed things

I have since I was a small boy

 

My methods have altered

my materials changed

my motives have remained the same

I love to improve things

to see them get better

that has always been my true aim

 

Using concrete and steel

or some cotton or wood

I have always worked at my trade

pubs go-carts a sea-wall

curtains and picture frames

are some of the things I have made

 

Now with pencil and paper

I weave Thoughts together

to make fabric that Uncloaks my mind

some fits other People

some fits only Me

but then such is life as I find
