Poetry and Creative Writing for All

Elisha Mesquitta

I am 26 and I live in Birmingham. I was introduced to poetry at primary school, I then forgot about it  for so many years as situations happen.  I then began to start writing again for the past four years and now I cannot seem to stop, I love writing poetry I find it calms me as when I write.  One day I hope to produce a book of poetry.

BUBBLE HEAD

Sweet smell, a cute chuckle
The cutest smile, the touch so gentle
Skin so smooth the brain so mental
The life created, it;s unbelievable
How she became so conceivable

BEING WANTED

Having your hand held
Having your name yelled
Phone ringing all day
Text messages delivered no delay
Requests for your opinion
Secrets told they trust your dominion
Being there for someone to be heard
Voice of reason, or just one word
Accompanying others for support
Being reliable, need to hold that thought
Having a shoulder to cry on, followed by the hug
Being modest about it, complete with a shrug.

THE THING

The need for this is addictive to me
Once I get it I want more gradually
Not making it obvious keeping it hidden
A lot of people ask bit I can't tell it's forbidden
Only two people, really they know
How and when I get this cause I let it show
To me this addiction is hard to get
But have realised it's not my time yet
When I get it and all in good time
I will love it and cherish it and will be all mine

OUT ON THE TOWN

Getting excited about a night out
Putting your face on for those about
Getting your wardrobe lay it out to wear
Making sure you look your best so everyone can stare
Making sure you have money, more than some
Making sure you have enough to spend and have some fun
In the taxi to get to that place 
Stroll in so everyone sees your face
Hear the beats pumping out loud
Showing off your moves in the middle of the crowd
Scanning the place for that special flirt
Have that friend nearby to dish the dirt
The club's nearly finished the musics died down
The nights not over lets go to town
Go to another club the best club to be
Get the drinks in one for you and for me.
