Suspension Trauma

On top of tall towers
Gaze fixed on far horizons
Breathing deeply
Inhaling life.
But circumstance forced me
To step over the edge,
And curiosity broke my fall
Leaving me spinning free
Over a void
In harness to the shadows,
To be hauled slowly and surely
Into one possible…

Memories pooling in confusion.

Alexander Pope – Essays on Criticism – exerpts

Tis hard to say, if greater want of skill
Appear in writing or in juding ill;
But of the two, less dangerous is th’ offence
To tire our patience, than mislead our sense.

Some few in that, but numbers err in this,
Ten censure wrong for one who writes amiss;
A fool might once himself…

marianne faithfull-the witches song

Shall I see tonight sister, bathed in magic greet
Shall we meet on the hilltop where the two roads meet.
We will form the circle, hold our hands and chant,
Let the great one know what it is we want.
Danger is great joy, dark is bright as fire,
Happy is our family, lonely is the ward.
Sister, we are waiting on…[Read more]

I like poetry but as soon as somebody says you dont know what your talking about as far as poetry is concerned I want to walk away again because Im not part and never will be part of the exclusive poetry club.

I can see your on a bit…

Ok….

I shall refrain from your brickbats… Ive heard they hurt a lot!

does sound like fannyfa.rts a bit though…. so I may have to start a thread for poets who feel “the urge”… thats the only time I write them…. completely off the cuff or in my sleep, and I never ask for criticism, I never ask for them to be read…

I’ve listened to The Zutons version tonight, just as good as our Amy’s 8)

Just as good? It wipes the floor with the scrawny scab-ridden harridan’s version. :twisted:

Im now really scared that Mistress Esme is gonna whap my ar/se next time I post my late night twaddle on here, whether it be about pizza’s or whatever….

surely poetry should be open to us all and not just a select few who suit a certain genra?

The reading of poetry is open to all, the ability to write it is something else…[Read more]

Then I bow to your superiority. I just write the stuff.

My authority is based on work in the field, and with distinction. Check out the work by Pepper and Pikey to see poets proving their craft.

And you are a leading authority in twaddle.

Actually, I’m a leading authority on poetry.

Yes but the tree huggers are right about the looming energy shortage. In the 70’s they were rigging up wind turbines made from scrap, now wind turbines are high tech engineering and big business.

And a blot on the landscape!

The earth has been spinning on its axis for about 4.55 billion years..has seen entire species come and go beneath the cycles of the sun..and the tree-huggers reckon we can stop the ice caps melting by cycling to work and living on mung-beans.

God must be pissing himself :twisted:
