Running. Time holds this source, it is prolonged. Senses mortified by vanity must be conditioned to accept the fact that there is no straightforward bond linking this simple state of recognition. It was just an arrangement of flowered ideas and truly extremely modest protrusions. A flutter of wings,... Sign in to see full entry.

Mermaid I shall be careful when I look at you' I shall shut my eyes and just search through what I imagine I have seen A smile and two eyes blue' and green' I do imagine you must feel rather exposed, does this reveal a flaw in what is meant to be my assessment of biology?' Does your smile mean Zone... Sign in to see full entry.

Velvet
Velvet It was time I dreamt A sliver of light beneath the door I went. All was so still No sound, no chill. Just the thoughts of one last breathe. Not even a parting kiss was left. So this was it, the final touch. To some things nothing matters much. It was easy, I resisted the call of those who... Sign in to see full entry.

12 old
12 old I am just going to school and I feel unhappy. I have wrapped my lunch. It is bread and margarine and that is all. It seems so pathetic. I am late and will have to run. I am trapped.

Memory
Someone says goodbye I must have been twelve years old travelling with my family on a crowded bus. I felt the rumble and the oppressive silence of the crowd.

War
War My brown coat feels too large as I make my way home after school There is ice on the main road and boys make slides on the black tarmac I don’t feel like sliding, chilblains are waiting restlessly to attack.

Bad Dogs
This is a poem that tries to get into the mind of a dog as it slips its collar and joins others and then reverts to the wild ways of its forerunners. Pushing between hairy dribbling comrades. Smelling the warmth of the road. It gives up to each eye a harsh rasp. The black frontier. Green grass... Sign in to see full entry.

Grannies
Village Everywhere there seemed to be grannies, they huddled together with amused whispers and the odd burst of laughter. Hair grey and plaited, wearing old odd mad hats. Wrapped in shawls and thick brown stockings. It seems almost improbable, but Grannies looked after themselves. Made wine from... Sign in to see full entry.
