Peter Mitchell

My name is Peter Mitchell, born Ashford, Middlesex in 1978. At the age of 16 I came to live in N. Ireland, Currently residing in Belfast. I write poems whenever inspiration hits me although in truth it seems they write themselves. I love to write when I can. I enjoy the poems of Wilfred Owen, Siegfried Sassoon, Robert Browning and Seamus Heaney. I also find the lyrics of the Arctic monkeys and Reverend and the Makers amongst others help to ignite my passion for writing.

Hey You by Peter Mitchell

         I’m never gonna hold you again. Do you know how it feels?
         I’m never gonna kiss you again. Do you know how it feels?
   I’m never gonna bring you breakfast in bed again. Do you know how it                                                 feels?
    I’m never gonna chase you round the house with a water pistol again.                                    Do you know how it feels?

          You’re never gonna throw apples and oranges at my head for                    soaking you again. Do you know how it feels?
              But, do you know how good the good times where?
                                              I do
