Will we ever learn or is it too late. Personally speaking I think we have missed the boat and unlike the ferries, I don't think there will be another one along anytime soon.

Towering Art Of Smoke And Water

Added Yesterday, 8:15 PM | EvaLittleWing | 7 views | 1 comments

Find your own meaning.. I've found mine! Thank you!
Now there were little rays left, and a lady stood in suit.
Little rays left lit smoking all around her.
Smoke, a towering art above her.

A slightly salacious, tongue-in-cheek four-parter. Part 4 refers to a piece which appears in the 'Routledge' 1870's edition of Robert Burns' Collected Poems and Songs; its title is 'Cock Up Your Beaver'!

Mature Delay

Added Yesterday, 1:13 PM | Peter Andrew Day | 4 views | 0 comments

A three-parter on delayed maturity and the danger of seeking premature finality.

Oddfellows

Added Yesterday, 12:54 PM | Peter Andrew Day | 18 views | 2 comments

A ten-parter, comprising mavericks, my favourite pieces, whose thematic connection is their very oddness, their belonging to the category of defying categorisation.

The odd fella.

The Teacher

Added Mon 8:04 PM | elizalizabeth | 28 views | 2 comments

A poem about a bad teacher that I had in 1st year. He taught us geography and was absolutely terrible. We learned practically nothing about geography in the year that we had him. I'm going to a different school now, but I still remember him occasionally. Anyway, for english we had to design our own magazine and I put this poem into mine. Now I wanna share it with you guys! I'm not really sure if it's any good, but let's give it a shot.

The Beggar's Farewell

Added Mon 4:11 PM | Martin | 45 views | 12 comments

A beggar is leaving town for good to create a new life and has some parting words for a few gathered bystanders. He is hopeful for his future but cynical about the way he has been treated in life.

This is just one of the odd poems I do. Probably needs work. Any ideas welcome.

Father-Son

Added Mon 2:22 PM | Peter Andrew Day | 16 views | 2 comments

A two-parter on the father-son relationship, potentially one of the closest, most complex of human relationships, be one's father dead or alive.

War Song

Added Mon 2:03 PM | Peter Andrew Day | 7 views | 0 comments

Many soldiers have come back from Iraq or Afghanistan with post traumatic stress disorder. In 'War Song', I adopt the persona of a black American soldier returning to the deep South and I imagine how his disorder might play itself out.

Words And Writers

Added Mon 1:36 PM | Peter Andrew Day | 6 views | 0 comments

Continuing a favourite theme of mine, the nature of words and their writers. An eight- parter, some of which are admittedly drily intellectual.

I was once stalked by an ex-boyfriend for months before I left the country.

The wolf returns

Added Mon 12:30 PM | Odilon | 59 views | 17 comments

This may seem dark once again but I assure you I'm feeling fine and chirpy mentally.

An attempt to describe how it feels when you suffer from a chronic (and incurable) disease and how it feels when you know it's going to get bad again.

The reference to the wolf is because of the disease itself.
