Original item by The Lost Poet

malcom this is a great poem. Years ago I worked with a group to try and get them off the street.Then the state shut down the mental hospitals and released all pts into the streets. Now there are so many.I see that my government likes to purchace bombs and give special holidays to sports players or give themselves a raise! I will point out this job was given to the churches, was commanded by GOD.But there I see decadence, golded robes, well the wealth is there to see, and they do small things like feed a few.I dont know, thought provoking poem here, sorry on any sp coffee has not made it to my fingers yet! thanks

Hello Phil, nice meeting you. I am new to this site. I have read all your poems and your poetry are excellent! They have a lot of life events in them. Your are excellent in expressing yourself through your pen. The style fascinates!

"Writing
Writing ignites a spark in me
Lighting flames of creativity
Heat warms me to my sole
Gives freedom and control

Words form and pour out of me
As does rain from atop a tree
A steady flow forms into a line
Word line begin to inter-twine

Each line or twine begins to form
I tease them together to reform
Into poems with a turn of phrase
My words flow to the next phase"

I have enjoyed this poem a lot. It tells a lot about your love for writing. This is my best choice for today. I am sure I will come across more of your writes. Please feel welcome to read some of mine and let me know what you are thinking. It is good to hear other people opinion about the thoughts behind particular write.

Have a great Christmas Season with your family and friends...Zuzanna Musial

Thanks but its a curse, Im sure of it and very sick of it.To feel and feel is insane. If I could cut my heart out and still live, I would do it! Gosh this is almost like MSN...

it is how you want to interpret surely?
im just saying they not always literally autobiographical just that I write about situations that I feel.

the same way you can do in the most wonderful way. you have a great poetic gift.

Hi Peter, you know poetry is not a race track.I think I feel enough for a few people and Im very tired of it.Ha I have had those male drunken blow outs, made a total fool of my self.

Thanks Clarissa. My poems are about feelings. the situations I may write about are often just imaginary.In the case of this I listened to a song then wrote whilst it played.

Peter,
This is very nice, if you have not found her already, you will I guess. This poem has a dreamy quality to it, it reminds me of some I have written and not posted yet and some I never will post. some secrets/poems are best left unsaid atleast for me anyway. very nice dreamy poem

Hello Malpoet~ Your write is very real and purely reelects on Christmas that shall be celebrated in much different way.This Stanza tells all...

"For some it's saturnalia.
It's solstice too, for sure.
Borrowed from the pagans,
let's give it back right now."

So true...Thank you...Zuzanna

Very special and precious poem, memory to hold onto keeping the box with all those remnants of someone dear. Excellent imagination and although sad write because of the loss of someone dear to you.Hope was just a dream...Your expressions are so real in this stanza...

"breath out
she’s there………………………
deeper this time
breath in
she’s just there……………………
there.... she is.....she is
inhaled in memory
out of reach"

Fabulous write!...Zuzanna

This is such a treasure of a poem! Do you think she would come back if she knew?You old softy, but then I have always know this about you.I wonder if all men are the same, in this way?I know I have done the same thing. great poem and a wonderful show of the soft side that you try to hide.

This is a very true poem! Men for their own sake need to express emotion.If you bottle it and shake it up and try and keep a top on it, it will expolde. great poem peter

Dave~ Excellent and very creative write!

"They all came for good reasons,
seeking comfort and solace in the grounds of the dead.
Drinking spirits or laying flowers, readers of poetry,
and the loners with mental disorders."

I have learned that many great writers in the past had Bi-Polar Disorder and they were brilliant writers!! Your poem has a lot of creativity. Great Imagination!...Zuzanna

That's what makes Christrmas great.
there's nothing better than settling down at 1pm to watch the Queen's speech on the radio, while drinking a few mince pies and eating more than enough glasses of sherry to turn Santa herself anorexic.
Thanks for sorting out my confusion there, Malcolm. And in case I rofget to say it, Happy Easter.

Interesting how you have captured the politics versa reality in this write.

They proclaimed the fight for freedom

Too true. Santa should take more care with his list. I know he's not infallible, as he once gave me a DVD recorder instead of the MP3 player I asked for.

Another competition gem, Malcolm.
It's just as well it wasn't South Korea, or they'd be chawing on another sort of dog entirely.
Eating competitions rock! Although the world pie-eating championship is now based on how quick the contestants can eat one pie, instead of how many they can eat (PC gone mad).
Why do I keep thinking of Sergeant Bilko??

The lady puffed
patiently, persistently
she puffed with Grace
until Grace expired, (lol)
but still,
the lady puffed.

From Pole position
the wizened leader
extracted his smouldering
glow from every
tobacco strand
in his perfect pipe
then dimmed to nothingness
and the lady puffed.

This poem sums up the art of perseverance. Never give up, and you can become the champion too.
Excellent, Malcolm.

Well the poems are a bit cheeky,
but not really obscene.
Maybe they misunderstood.
I know I talk about death a lot,
but I don't kill people do I?
I don't tell others to kill people.

I know, it's that hatred thing isn't it?
Because I took the piss out of religion a bit.
It wasn't bad.
A few bits of fake Latin and the odd
giggle at crazy clerics.
Not that bad is it?

If they locked people up for writing offensive poetry, I would be on Death Row.

No less damning than the carbon
was my water footprint.
The oozing pools of sweat
they extracted from my socks
told them of midnight sprinklers
and deep baths.

Joseph K ... shades of Franz Kafka.
Deep stuff, Malcolm.

Cheers Dave - I've stopped sulking now, it went so badly it's actually quite funny! If it's fancy dress then I'll do it again (I've got a robin outfit made out of teddy bear fur - it even has a fur balaclava with built-in beak. It's most excellent).
Merry Christmas to ya.

Comment is about London Writers Cafe (group profile)

Original item by London Writers Cafe

Thanks everybody. I came to Belfast for a week in the early seventies and it was not a pretty sight. A year or two a go my wife and I spent three weeks touring Ireland north and south. Belfast, Dublin and the rest of the island were all charming, lively and welcoming.

Thirty years ago I heard twisted garbage from all sides when the 'troubles' were interpreted through a range of different bigotries and hatreds. Let us hope that the prospects of growing peace and prosperity are not knocked off course by new objects of contempt. Passionate Irish peopple have a capacity for great art, love and creativity. When they choose to be negative, they can be vile. Here's to a positive future, building on a pleasant present.

Yesterdave,
All my bubbles made a curly wave,
Now Wayne Bent has emptied Elvis' grave,
Oh, I believe in yesterdave.

Suddenly,
I'm not half the man I used to be,
They shot me in the Old Town street you see,
Oh, yesterdave came suddenly.

Why we
Had to go I don't know, we didn't pay.
I saw,
Some thin thong, now I long for yesterdave.

Yesterdave,
Spotty doge are so much fun to play,
Now I need a place to hide away,
Oh, I just heave in yesterdave's.

Why we
Had to go I don't know, now we must pay.
I read,
Something strong, now I mourn in yesterdave.

Yesterdave,
A UFO came and took their minds away
Now Branson flies them if they want to pay
The clowns all live in yesterdaves.

With apologies to the Bugs.

Sorry your Messiahship Michael Trevasser. Put a Bent word in for me with your Father when he gets his watch fixed.

Tearing earth ripped a hard
working fishing town apart.
and in the scar grew sunbeds.

I am totally in awe of those lines, Malcolm. My own hometown is now a thriving hub for tourists, but in the dark days we never heard a foreign accent. And some people here actually despise them for coming here in peace time... as if they should be ashamed of themselves for not coming while we were killing one another.

Comment is about So long since I laughed (blog)

Daniel! Great write! Lots of creative thinking in this write. Loved the metamorphosis you have implemented in your write!!

"Words tattoo my soul
Everything I have ever written is who I am
They are a better representation of myself.
Than this fragile body,
than my words spoken,
Which are the things you want to hear me say
they are the token things I say everyday
I choose the words I write carefully
With anger love pain and poise
These words are my choice
Between actor and person
My voice comes from my poems
They are not just noise they speak for me.
The same skin as me "

GREAT WORK!!...Zuzanna

Good thought in your writing! Not sure if only Poland would be the Champion in smoking in that matter as I found Europe in general people are heavy smokers there. When traveling through European country I was basically chocked by the smokers...Smile I wished the people responsible for the Health -doctors should do something about that! You brought good point in your write. Smoking shall be banned.

Hi Clarissa, The story contained in this poem is an observational commenton the layers of our society. I actually wrote it at our local baths, whilst my son was having a great time with his mates in the water, sitting in the small cafe area.
I havent read any news of this type of life endured my so many. When i read it I feel blessed, yet sad for those left behind in this rat race we call society.

Thanks for you comments on this piece

Have a wonderful Christmas
