Granny (by Jordan Phillip Howard-Jennings)

Hello, here is a poem called Granny. It actually started out as an English homework assignment. That's not where most of my best works start out, but I'm really proud of this poem especially, it's actually true that my grandmother did die and my mother saw her the night before she died unexpectedly and I did ask to come along the night before. Anyways, here's the poem.

It's shining bright outside
But the clouds are crying as well
And we're spending the day - right here - right now
In this paradise of hell

People crying till wells are full
People choked up by their tears
People tore up by their hearts
Mom reads her poem. I cover my ears

I don't want to mourn this morning
I don't want to cry today
Somehow my eyes - like the clouds in the sky
Just let the tears drop away

I've had enough. My nose is stuffed
And Granny's gone goodbye
I didn't have a chance to say anything at all
The pain - Why! Why!

It's the month after May
Ain't no maybe anymore
'Cause Granny went. Before her birthday
Just three days before!

My mom visited the night before
I begged to come along
But no she refused. The world is so cold
Just can't you hear my song

This is not the Granny I know
She don't put on know skirts or shoes
She talks and laughs, forgets who we are
Makes weird noises like "cock-a-doodle-moo"

I know it hurts on the outside
But on the inside, so much more
So I'll wait to the end of this frightening event
And then I'll walk out the door

Hell (by Jordan Phillip Howard-Jennings)

Hello, this is JJ, with his new (actually improved) poem called Hello. This was an invention of mine using only pen and paper. Maybe it will inspire you.


If I could see
I would watch the birds
Singin' sweet songs


If I could touch
I'd touch the softest
Nature has to give


If I could move
I would touch the sky
And fly so high


If I could breathe
I couldn't have got enough
Of a breathtaking view


If I could be
I'd be dreaming
And wishing


If I could talk
I'd share you all
The stories I know


If I could live
I would live my life
All over again


If I could love
I'd find myself the
Sweetest love in the world


And it all
Comes back to this
A low abyss


But you hang on
Yet most plans
Typically go askew


So you let go
Say goodbye
Say your last words


That's why I'm here
Way deep down here
The pit of hell


But here I dwell
Spendin' oh
So many nights


Askin' God
To be merciful
To me


But I see
And always will
Always do


A bright future
That often goes
Askew


What do I do
Is there any hope
For me


I don't know
Dear Lord,
This is me


A horrible person
Asking for
Your hand


Oh please Lord
I'm sorry
Can you forgive me, well can --


Am I a failure
A lost hope
An unfinished dish


An immortal waste
A not wished
Wish


A star that
Has fallen
Out of its place


An unfriendly
Unworthy
Man of his race


And it all
Comes back to this
A low abyss


But you hang on
Yet most plans
Typically go askew


So you let go
Say goodbye
Say your last words


That's why I'm here
Way deep down here
The pit of hell

Go Animals Poem

By Jordan P. H-J.

Go bird
Go bird
With your feathers perched out


Fly high
Fly low
Thats what wings are all about


Go monkey
Go monkey
Swinging from place to place


In trees
On vines
Win the crazy monkey race


Go snake
Go snake
Slither slowly on the ground


Wrap once
Wrap twice
Wrap round n* round n round


Go giraffe
Go giraffe
With a neck that's really tall


Are you stiff,
In the clouds,
Not in the mood at all

In the Nighttime

By Jordan P.H-J.


The birds sing quietly
The bats fly
The moon praises
With light and shine

The soft green grass
The crickets chirping
The water flows
With beat and rhythm

The trees are at rest
The noise is slowing
The wind is moving
With cold and breeze

Only In The Nighttime

Winter's Approaching Poem

For all of you who are about to read this poem, think of it as a song. A nice soft melody that repeats itself continuously. That's what I thought of when I was writing it. Maybe someday I'll publish the song that goes with it. Who'm I kiddin'? No one. Check it out!

By Jordan P.H-J.

Oh! Have you been listening.
To the wind that blows
Oh my mind goes up and down 
Winter's Approaching though


Oh! Haven't you been waiting
For a white soft blanket.
To cover the town. Bring joy back around
Oh! You've been missing out lately


Winter, Winter, here we are
Winter, Winter, come and go
As long as you can just -- stick around
For we cheer for snow


Oh! Have you been listening.
To the wind that blows
Oh my mind goes up and down 
Winter's Approaching though


Santa Cheer's, men drink the beers
Woman dance, a great balance
Oh! Haven't you been waiting
For a white soft blanket.


To cover the town. Bring joy back around
Oh! You've been missing out lately
I just want you to know
Winter's approaching though


We are the dream, the women and men
We are so faithful, Amen
I just want you to know
Winter's approaching though


Oh! Haven't you been waiting
For a white soft blanket.
To cover the town. Bring joy back around
Oh! You've been missing out lately


Oh! Have you been listening.
To the wind that blows
Oh my mind goes up and down 
Winter's Approaching though











I Can't Take it Anymore Poem

By Jordan P. H-J.

That's It!
The last straw!
I can't take it anymore


I'm gone
I'm done
I'm leavin' out that door


I'm not kiddin'
I''m not jokin'
I'm not playin' around


I'm leaving
Goodbye!
To a trip not far from town


Pack my food
Pack my clothes
Make sure no one is aware


'Cause I'm a leavin'
I'm "bye-bye"
And this is the last dare


Make ma* mark
Fool me once
Fool me twice I'm out the door


And I'm so sick of
Gettin' caught and I know that
I can't take it anymore


You know 
I know it too


That I'm definitely 
Not comin' back to you


I'm tired 
Of playin'
Messin' round


I feel like 
I'm off the wall
Off the ground


I can't take it anymore

*ma means my

Check out these inspirational quotes from
John Lennon
A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality.
John Lennon 

All we are saying is give peace a chance.
John Lennon 

All you need is love.
John Lennon 

As usual, there is a great woman behind every idiot.
John Lennon 

Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I needn't argue with that; I'm right and I will be proved right. We're more popular than Jesus now; I don't know which will go first - rock and roll or Christianity.
John Lennon 

Everybody loves you when you're six foot in the ground.
John Lennon 

Everything is clearer when you're in love.
John Lennon 

God is a concept by which we measure our pain.
John Lennon 

Guilt for being rich, and guilt thinking that perhaps love and peace isn't enough and you have to go and get shot or something.
John Lennon 

He didn't come out of my belly, but my God, I've made his bones, because I've attended to every meal, and how he sleeps, and the fact that he swims like a fish because I took him to the ocean. I'm so proud of all those things. But he is my biggest pride.
John Lennon 

I believe in everything until it's disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it's in your mind. Who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as the here and now?
John Lennon 

I believe in God, but not as one thing, not as an old man in the sky. I believe that what people call God is something in all of us. I believe that what Jesus and Mohammed and Buddha and all the rest said was right. It's just that the translations have gone wrong.
John Lennon 

I don't believe in killing whatever the reason!
John Lennon 

I don't know which will go first - rock 'n' roll or Christianity.
John Lennon 

I'm not going to change the way I look or the way I feel to conform to anything. I've always been a freak. So I've been a freak all my life and I have to live with that, you know. I'm one of those people.
John Lennon 

If being an egomaniac means I believe in what I do and in my art or music, then in that respect you can call me that... I believe in what I do, and I'll say it.
John Lennon 

If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set, then there'd be peace.
John Lennon 

If someone thinks that love and peace is a cliche that must have been left behind in the Sixties, that's his problem. Love and peace are eternal.
John Lennon 

If you tried to give rock and roll another name, you might call it 'Chuck Berry'.
John Lennon 

Imagine all the people living life in peace. You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us, and the world will be as one.
John Lennon 



It doesn't matter how long my hair is or what colour my skin is or whether I'm a woman or a man.
John Lennon 

It was like being in the eye of a hurricane. You'd wake up in a concert and think, Wow, how did I get here?
John Lennon 

Jesus was all right, but his disciples were thick and ordinary. It's them twisting it that ruins it for me.
John Lennon 

Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans.
John Lennon 

Love is the answer, and you know that for sure; Love is a flower, you've got to let it grow.
John Lennon 

Love is the flower you've got to let grow.
John Lennon 

Music is everybody's possession. It's only publishers who think that people own it.
John Lennon 

My role in society, or any artist's or poet's role, is to try and express what we all feel. Not to tell people how to feel. Not as a preacher, not as a leader, but as a reflection of us all.
John Lennon 

Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That's what's insane about it.
John Lennon 

Part of me suspects that I'm a loser, and the other part of me thinks I'm God Almighty.
John Lennon 

Possession isn't nine-tenths of the law. It's nine-tenths of the problem.
John Lennon 

Reality leaves a lot to the imagination.
John Lennon 

Rituals are important. Nowadays it's hip not to be married. I'm not interested in being hip.
John Lennon 

Surrealism had a great effect on me because then I realised that the imagery in my mind wasn't insanity. Surrealism to me is reality.
John Lennon 

The basic thing nobody asks is why do people take drugs of any sort? Why do we have these accessories to normal living to live? I mean, is there something wrong with society that's making us so pressurized, that we cannot live without guarding ourselves against it?
John Lennon 

The cross of the Legion of Honor has been conferred on me. However, few escape that distinction.
John Lennon 

The more I see the less I know for sure.
John Lennon 

The postman wants an autograph. The cab driver wants a picture. The waitress wants a handshake. Everyone wants a piece of you.
John Lennon 

The thing the sixties did was to show us the possibilities and the responsibility that we all had. It wasn't the answer. It just gave us a glimpse of the possibility.
John Lennon 

There's nothing you can know that isn't known.
John Lennon 



Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted.
John Lennon 

We were all on this ship in the sixties, our generation, a ship going to discover the New World. And the Beatles were in the crow's nest of that ship.
John Lennon 

We're more popular than Jesus now; I don't know which will go first, rock 'n' roll or Christianity.
John Lennon 

We've got this gift of love, but love is like a precious plant. You can't just accept it and leave it in the cupboard or just think it's going to get on by itself. You've got to keep watering it. You've got to really look after it and nurture it.
John Lennon 

When you're drowning, you don't say 'I would be incredibly pleased if someone would have the foresight to notice me drowning and come and help me,' you just scream.
John Lennon 

Will the people in the cheaper seats clap your hands? And the rest of you, if you'll just rattle your jewelry.
John Lennon 

Yeah we all shine on, like the moon, and the stars, and the sun.
John Lennon 

You don't need anybody to tell you who you are or what you are. You are what you are!
John Lennon 

You either get tired fighting for peace, or you die.
John Lennon 

You have to be a bastard to make it, and that's a fact. And the Beatles are the biggest bastards on earth.
John Lennon 

You're just left with yourself all the time, whatever you do anyway. You've got to get down to your own God in your own temple. It's all down to you, mate.
John Lennon

I have found that among its other benefits, giving liberates the soul of the giver.
Maya Angelou 

I long, as does every human being, to be at home wherever I find myself.

My life has been one great big joke, a dance that's walked a song that's spoke, I laugh so hard I almost choke when I think about myself.

One isn't necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential. Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can't be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest.
Maya Angelou 

Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.
Maya Angelou 

Prejudice is a burden that confuses the past, threatens the future and renders the present inaccessible.
Maya Angelou 

Self-pity in its early stages is as snug as a feather mattress. Only when it hardens does it become uncomfortable.
Maya Angelou 



Some critics will write 'Maya Angelou is a natural writer' - which is right after being a natural heart surgeon.
Maya Angelou 

The ache for home lives in all of us, the safe place where we can go as we are and not be questioned.

The fact that the adult American Negro female emerges a formidable character is often met with amazement, distaste and even belligerance. It is seldom accepted as an inevitable outcome of the struggle won by survivors, and deserves respect if not enthusiastic acceptance.

The idea is to write it so that people hear it and it slides through the brain and goes straight to the heart.
Maya Angelou 

The need for change bulldozed road down the center of my mind.

There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.
Maya Angelou 

There is nothing so pitiful as a young cynic because he has gone from knowing nothing to believing nothing.
