THE POETICS OF JEALOUSY by Warren Brown
Is jealousy good?
Does jealousy harm one and heal another?
It is not good to be jealous
Of another’s overwhelming success.
It is not good to be jealous
of another’s fame and grand fortune.
It is not good to be jealous
Of another’s poverty of the soul.
It is not good to be subdued by jealousy,
Of another’s lack of fame and fortune.
It is not good to be filled with jealousy,
Of another’s peace of mind and happiness.
It is not good to be burdened with jealousy,
Of another’s joy, love and tranquillity.
It is not good to be jealous
Of those, who are free of jealousy.

THE RIGHT ADVICE by Warren Brown
When you look for Advice
It is sometimes very hard to find
When you ask the right person
You can find the right advice
But, knowing life
With all its unusual elements,
We usually get the wrong advice
From the wrong person in life.
If you search for advice
Ask yourself this,
You need the right advice
At a reasonable price.
Find a good and sensible person
With the right intentions in Life
Then select this person to guide you
To find your mission in this Life.

THE LEGEND OF THE ROBBING HOOD by Warren Brown
Where is the Hood?
Where is the Hood?
Where is that thieving Robin Hood?
Down in the lush green Glen,
With his stolen treasures,
And his band of merry men.
Little John and Friar Tuck
Are helping Robin divide his loot
With the poor of the village,
Making him a legend of repute.
Where is the Sheriff of Nottingham?
In an emptied room of treasures,
Feeling like a fattened rat
About to be eaten by a hungry cat.
Robin and his merry men
Flee into the night,
Into the forests of Sherwood,
Into the kingdom of the robbing hood.
Where is the lovely maid Marion?
She is in the arms of Robin Hood,
Helping him in his mission,
To steal from the Sheriff without his permission.

Poetry Therapy by Warren
I have found the writing of poetry very therapeutic. Poetry gives you the opportunity to express your feelings in words and images. It also gives you a chance to put words to all the ideas which come to your mind and which would be lost forever, if they are not put to some creative use.
When you feel unhappy, read or listen to a poem which can help you to alleviate your mood and make your day more pleasant.
When you are happy about some new event occurring in your life or in the world around you, take some time to put your feelings of the moment into a few lines. I find that it is a challenge to be able to put a big idea into a few lines of verse.
When you are looking for a challenge, take the time to write a poem on a boring subject, and make it a poem, to grab the interest of your reader. I practised writing poems based on historical fact, to make it more interesting and mentally appetizing for a reader.
A poem is an excellent way to channel your creative talents. You can create a poem which may seem frivolous today, but which at sometime or for someone else have a deeper meaning. Make an attempt at trying your hand at writing all types of poems. It is always best to let your thoughts flow when you are writing poetry, this is one of the best ways for releasing your creativity.
There have been times when I have written more than five to ten poems in a day. It was just that the ideas started flowing, and there came a time when the poetry would write itself. What do I mean by saying that a poem would write itself? This means that the words, the images, the rhyme and the rhythm would all fall into place seemingly by magic once I had a concrete image or concept in my mind about the concept I wanted to write about. I have been writing poems from the age of seventeen, my first poem being, “The Lady of the Sea”. Since that poem I have not looked back. I do hope that you find the writing of Poetry as enjoyable and therapeutic as I do. I would like to wish you all the best for your future endeavours in writing poems for yourself, your family and the poetry lovers of the world.

Experiencing Poetry in your life
The best way to experience poetry is to think and feel like a poet. See the beauty in everything around you. Know that all life is connected. Read the work of the great poets and visualize all the powerful images and feelings which they have invoked within you.
Every little idea has the potential to become a powerful poem, with the right words and the right meaning giving it life.
Every little idea has the potential to become a powerful poem, with the right words and the right meaning giving it life.
Discovering the Art of Poetry
One of the best ways to discover the art of poetry writing is to visit the library and to read the work of some of the greatest poets who have walked the Earth. Next, it would be a good idea to study the structure and the pattern of the various types of poems, from Romantic poetry to Nature poems and from epics and ballads to sonnets, elegies, odes and epigrams. The 16th century Japanese Haiku and the new free verse of modern society are two examples of the evolution of poetry.
Listening to poems can help to put you into a poetic frame of mind, while helping you to appreciate the beauty and the structure of the poems.
Reading poems can help you to feel the rhythm of the poems and appreciate the manner in which the poet has treated his subject.
Writing poetry is a great experience in itself. The three stages in writing a poem of value would be to capture an idea, visualize the thought, select a few words related to the concept, with a ring to them and then proceed to develop your idea in the form of verse. Try creating couplets, if you are good at rhyming and then start to create a style following a pattern of poems you have read. But, if you like freedom, try writing your poem in free verse.

Warren on Writing Poetry
Writing poetry can be fun and entertaining. I first started to write poems when I was seventeen. My very first poem was, “The Lady of the Sea”. This was also published by the National Society of Poetry, USA in their Anthology by Watermark Press. My next poem, “The Master of the Field” was also featured in an Anthology of poetry.
Over the years I have written a number of poems. I have even tried my hand at writing limericks on the Anglo-Indian (mixed British-Indian) race, which I also belong to. There have been times over the years, when I have written about ten poems in a day. Yet, there have been periods, when I have not written a single poem for over six months.
Writing poetry, I have found is very therapeutic. I like to write all types of verse, some about nature, some about love and romance, some about people, others about events or the metaphysical verse, which is a sort of creative booster shot for writing philosophical poems. Discover the therapy of poetry, by writing one today.
I find writing poetry interesting, as I can encapsulate a single idea in a few lines for maximum impact and yet at the same time capture the essential ingredients of the concept. Poems and poets have always fascinated me, and we all have miles to go before we sleep, so why not spend that time either writing, listening or reading poetry.
Discover the Poet within yourself and write a few lines of verse today!
Warm Regards

Lady of the Sea By Warren Brown
Upturned brows and eyes deep green
Partly adorned by shiny scales,
A lady who is often seen
He saw her perched amid the rocks
But, when he did silently creep,
He caught a glimpse of golden locks
As she dived smoothly into the deep.
Mermaids are part of fantasy
Later found to be only seals,
Yet, the legend lives out at sea
About mysterious damsels.
