BOTTLE BROWN

The nation you pumped with fever and fire Spun wide the rumour the hour was nigh To sink the Tories whose chances seemed dire With a snap poll your tenure to try. But Call Me Dave then trounced your ploy Pledged to slash tax; his ratings fast soared. Your courage it culled; you feared to destroy... Sign in to see full entry.

INCONTRO ALLA LUCE (MEETING AT THE LIGHT)

Dreams swept my heart to a mystical place Where in awe I gazed at splendour unfold Its mystery crafted by the infusion of grace. My senses were lulled; rapt in beauty untold As I passed transfixed through a host divine Of sunflowers in bloom standing stately and tall. To that daytime star their gold...

TRUST NO ONE

A searing pain struck Louise on the back of the neck on approaching Central Station to meet Graham, her date. She paused for a moment to ascertain the cause and gasped in shock when her finger came away wet with blood. She spun round but Glasgow was heaving with shoppers that Saturday afternoon so...

THE PROPHECY

The angel handed me a parchment edged with gold. It read: “Take heed of what I am about to tell you. Do not be deceived about what you hear or see around you. For a time is coming, in fact it is here already when mankind will seek to play God with human lives considering them to be expendable. There... Sign in to see full entry.

LA CHANSON CELESTE

Sing now great muse and tell this tale Of the quaint old church on Cuckmere vale Whose charm so fair was once part razed By the rage and spite of Cromwell crazed God’s grace one day with power did shine And a couple felt blaze his glory divine From the church float in vibrant grand strains They...

GOING POTTY

When the stars wink and hours whirl past My mind is trussed to art’s toil fast To ignite the spark my pen I prime And set my words to meter and rhyme But my lines fade; my thoughts lack gloss My verse is arid and crumbles to dross I poke the embers; my wits turn raw The muse is mute; I see no thaw.

BLIAR

In droves we voted to give you clout To scour the sleaze and revamp our lot You stormed to power bold claims to tout. But from your lair the stench of rot Seeps by the day and cloaks in shame Our once proud land that put to flight The Nazi hordes by the force of flame. In Iran our troops are leached...

DOWN WITH THE APPARATCHIKS!

Rise up and oust these Nazis who plot To drown your lives with diktats that aim To throttle all dreams and make minds fraught Placate the dark men with power to maim. So concrete your nerve, let blaze your star And be not mauled by menace of law Your art is light no man should mar One day by grace... Sign in to see full entry.

SWAN SONG TO LOVE

Dawn rents the veil; that pall of night And woe smarts those who linger in love Hope flails and fades as evil smotes light Rose red eyes gaze for sweet solace above Cruel bow you fired your dart too soon When all things fair must crumble and wane Oh why did fate plunge earth in doom? Our peace to... Sign in to see full entry.

IN CONVERSATION WITH ANGELS

I saw the light flash from his face His sweet voice drew me to his side His eyes did sparkle and shine with grace. “Our light I give to be your guide Our power wanes not in evil and doom To earth we wing to cradle the lost That man be saved where harm may loom We’ll heal the pangs his sins have...
