What's That About When it's at Home ?
I’m feeling a little bit peckish Not like a bird pecks More like a bunny But not at it like a rabbit In a donkey jacket Just a nibble Like a cat and a fiddle Drivel. I could eat a horse I won’t of course Because there’s a fly in the ointment There’s a cart before it And that’s made of wood Would be like chewing a wasp Probably a disappointment. Disjointment. Might have a bag of crisps. |

Pathologetic.
Some say God's authority outweighs seniority and sexual frivolity and personal ontology. Some say cosmology outlives all theology. Others, that astrology purposes pathology. Some (with apology) claim sociology blends with biology. All hail psychology. I like technology. Economy, ecology and anthropology. I blame my neurology. Helicopter butterflies flew over me, causing lies. |

[quote=archiver;77619141]Thank you Biz. Good to see you here. I had to get back out of bed and fire up the computer to add the last two (unrelated) lines. I blame my imaginary friend. She's always giving me lines when I'm washing up, or just got comfy in bed.
{/QUOTE]Ahhh! Women can be such a problem.

iPod, Therefore I Am
Texting, texting, texting, Addicted to weird babble Until they buy the next thing From boffins who must dabble. iPod, iPod, iPod, It's such a boring story, For if an iPod's your god You'll miss all nature's glory. © |

Worth Trying.
I am an atheist. My psychoanalyst told me I won't be missed. I punched him with my fist. I find humanity rhymes with insanity. Perfect profanity. Tiny gigantity. All things great and small. Slow to rise, quick to fall. Many sided by decree. Not somewhere I'd want to be. Conscious dreams a better place where no one would deface ancient signs of olden times, amongst their many other crimes. Makes me wonder. Makes me sad. Is it because I'm bad? If I say my prayers today - will this nightmare go away? |

Gone.
Forum's deserted threads all dead shouldn't have blurted what I said can't face the facebook alone in bed Everyone's gone Dreams full of people fast asleep dreaming illegal dreams so deep then when I wake up and arise Everyone's gone Galaxy people on the moon think we are feeble coming soon Maybe good riddance and so long Everyone's gone. |

Snapped
Is there room here to park a poem so full of worth and meaning with depth to move to touch mind soul heart to catch a rising moment in words snapped at 1/1000th-of-a-second fully developed fixed mounted caught living present breathing evolving in meaning at each reading kept alive by the eyes that see the minds that understand? |

Artist at work
(or - don’t ever bother to read out poetry at the Plymouth Cooperage’s Tuesday Freak-Jam Night) Shut the f*** up and pay some attention, artist at work, shouting out words chosen, positioned, with perfect intention, read with perfect inflection. A fine delivery, attention to detail. So the least you can do is show some respect with your silence and attention in recognition of the talent in front of you. How many of you, out there, have the balls (and this includes you, madam) to stand here and perform your creation. Words and verse, rhythm and rhyme, allusion and image, visionary perception, to enrich the mind and elevate the soul. So shut the f*** up and give your attention, show your respect to an artist at work. |
