London is a place,
For everything.
And everything,
In one place.
And everyone,
From every place,
And every,
Human race.
For diplomats,
And bureaucrats,
Amusing hats,
And welcome mats.
For dogs and cats,
And even rats.
For everything,
And everyone.
It may be big,
And loud,
And overdone,
And leave one
Feeling overcome.
Just keep calm,
And carry on.
Sit down.
Take it easy.
Drink some tea.
I don’t know what to say. First of all; thank you for everything. Thank you for helping me achieve a B on my CAE exam, thank you for always being so understanding and kind and thank you for being so patient with me, haha. I just don’t know what to say, really. For me, and for most of us 2nd years, you have been a big part of the school. I know that you will be extremely missed by all of us, and the school is going to be so empty without you. It’s so sad, I’m really going to miss you!
Lots of love,

The only proper use for deification,
Is in fact fluffy-bunnification,
Not in putting rules and regulation,
On things like family and fornication.

let go
let go
just let it go
and let it be
for it is done
And nothing
can be done
to change it
they’ve let me go
decided they don’t
need me
i’ll survive
but I still
cannot believe
i won’t be there
to see you smile
to hear you laugh
to see your faces
light up with joy
to talk to you
to listen to you
to help you
i was your teacher
you were my happiness
and my frustration
but they don’t need me
though I think
you still need me
but I won’t be there
to share your triumphs
you may miss me
but soon i’ll be
no longer
in your memory
you’ll let go
of me
for it is done
just let it be
and let it go
let go
let go
Threads,
One single thread,
Winding through,
Ever present,
Standing true,
Imprinting,
Impressing,
Royal joy,
Pomp & circumstance,
Since I was a boy,
My life was there,
With twists and turns,
While Windsor’s flame
Just burns and burns,
In the background,
Ever so true,
The Monarch there,
Unchanging hue,
I flitter round,
Not knowing where,
But Elisabeth was sitting there,
Always strong,
Steadfast and true,
Me wandering,
As I’m prone to do,
I’ve built my life,
Both right and wrong,
With Elisabeth there,
Still standing strong.
I’m a poet.
You all know it.
But I have no words.
It may sound absurd,
And a little cliche,
But I have no words,
Only feelings today.
I wanted to write something,
Special for you.
Something funny, profound,
Inspirational too.
But the moment is here,
You’re going away.
I feel like there’s so much,
I wanted to say.
But these few little rhymes,
These thoughts of mine,
Aren’t enough to sum up,
All the good and bad times.
But you know it,
And I know it.
It’s hard to have no words,
When you’re a poet.
I love walking through crowds.
Some things sit deep in the bones. For me walking through crowds is one of those things.
I grew up in the heart of downtown Toronto, so I got lots of practice.
I have to be alone. It’s pretty much an individual sport. I prefer to have a destination as well.
It’s not absolutely necessary, but helpful, because then one walks with more of a sense of purpose.
It can be with or against the crowd, though going against the flow completely presents a bigger challenge.
Reading the flow. Looking for the gaps as they open and close. Anticipating them. Weaving in and out seamlessly, like water in a maze. Kind of like parkour without the gymnastic s.
Sometimes the crowd gets too thick to read, or too erratic. When it’s filled with old women, junkies, children, and dogs all at the same time it makes it too difficult to see a clear path. That’s when you retreat to the edge of the sidewalk, walking that narrow strip of concrete at the edge of the sidewalk, moving fluidly, dodging lampposts on one side, and traffic or parked cars on the other.
Then there is the challenge of the crowded subway platform. Weaving through, whilst looking for the break, the slight space with the best chance of being near the door when it opens, and feel that little inner victory for calculating correctly.
In the best moments it becomes quite poetic, with a beautiful flow, gliding through the human urban landscape.
