lets try again shall we?........

hi again
its been way too long
almost a year would you believe
ive had a few emails (well one) asking when im gonna blog again
well im sorry and i plan to be back for good

so.......
a lot has happened since i last blogged
too much
some of the stuff would of made great blogs too
so ill give you a bit of a recap

i read at this years saint georges march in stone cross
and at sandwell valley the day before
i got to rub shoulders with keith chegwin

i self published a little booklet of my poetry
and i am now working on my sencond one

i also am 75 quid lighter in the pocket
as a couple of months ago i was collared by sandwell over enthusiastic litter patrol
but dont get me started on that

and i recently had swine flu
not nice

and i also acheived my proudest moment as a poet
i wrote one for my musical hero and read it to his face
there is video footage of this
its too good not to share
so it appear in a future blog

so thats about it from my first blog back
i got lots of ideas to get this blog up and running again

so keep em peeled

Wow im back

ok guys
it feels like forever but im back
where did i go?
well
i never went anywhere
sadly just lost inspiration
but i think its back now
im trying to get the blog up and running
so im will be posting a weekly video blog on here
should be thursdays
ive also set up a youtube channel for my poems songs and video blogs
which can be found at
http://uk.youtube.com/user/theromanticgeek

so i thought id end today with a new poem
one i wrote when i was trying to get back in the groove
i had no inspiration at the time
so i thought id write about having no inspiration


lost for words
by sean gould

so it seems im lost for words
people i know may find this absurd
as im never short of things to say
but my poetic abillities have just gone away

gone are the days id just sit and write
about all my dreams and day to day shite
about my love life or maybe the lack
ive ran out of ideas ive just lost the knack

now i cant seem to take the time
to put down my thoughts in words that rhyme
no little stories or rhyming verse
this writers block just seems to get worse

so im sat here with a paper and pen
trying to recapture the magic again
but its hard to think of a theme
as nothing ever happens and ive forgotten all my dreams

looking for a subject i cant seem to find
trying to salvage the thoughts in my mind
pick a subject and try to carry on
so ive decided to write about the time my inspiration was gone

its good to be back

hi
sorry again for the lack of blogs
but ive been away

i spent a few days in blackpool

so i thought id post a poem i wrote whilst i was there

sin city
by sean gould

sin city is jam packed
almost every night
usually kicks off
with a violent cat fight

parties of drunks
constantly line the streets
smelling of alcohol
and the burgers they eat

drunken jack the lad
thinks he could get any girl he likes
but he gets out of hand
when hes told to take a hike

the average man
works hard from day to day
then takes his money to old sin city
and gambles it all away

theres lots of entertainment
singers dancers and if youre in a funny mood
there are lots of great comedians
but most of them are rude

there are special gentlemans clubs
where lots of ladies walk around
they will dance on your lap
and take their clothes off if you give them twenty pounds

im not into drugs
but some people are just hooked
there are lots right here in sin city
you only have to look

so take a look around
there is so much here to see
when you need a bit of fun
sin city is the place to be

ill leave you with this

ok
heres the thing
im going away for a few days
so this is my last blog until monday
so im gonna leave you with this poem


glory days
by sean gould

the glory days of willow the wisp
when you could taste the flavour on your crisp
when ponty pandy was proctected by fireman sam
and postman pat still had his big red van
when gary coleman was in different strokes
when people still laughed at jim davisons jokes

before jamie oliver was on the tv
the big celebrity chef was rusty lee
when saturday telly was jimmy cricket and little and large
when the england football team won games with bobby robson in charge
ghostbusters and goonies were the films of the day
and credit crunch were words we just didnt say

when danger mouse had penfold by his side
when prince charles took as his first bride
barrymore was the entertainment king
when telephones had only one ring
when pot noodles still tasted good
when a walt disney fox played robin hood

leslie crowther hosted stars in their eyes
when kingsize mars bars were really king size
the days before marathans were called snickers
when nora batty had wrinkled stockings and bog frilly knickers
and roy walker hosted catchphrase
oh yes my friends those were the glory days
