A lot of modern poetry is too hard to understand,
it has become too complicated for the uninitiated or casual reader.
These poems are by an ordinary bloke, for ordinary folk. © Chris Daws

Reach
If there's a lesson I can teach
to those that ask the question why
am I in tears here on the beach
and not in glory in the sky
It's have a target you can reach
for if that first step's set too high
you'll fall down in a heap at each
attempt and soon no longer try.
So if you want that topmost peach
don't spread your arms and try to fly
but climb up branch by branch and each
branch that you reach will make you vie
to stretch for higher branches till
your greatest wish you will fulfill
