Shopper. Suddenly she was there like a pulse in a straight line of emotion. How could she have entered through the low clouds of a supermarket doorway? Perhaps she was searching unwisely through those who trawled their lives away, searching for cheaper fish next to, the frozen lamb chops? Her auburn... Sign in to see full entry.

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. A cruel stiffness on the back of my hand is due to the teacher’s ruler. The edge of the... Sign in to see full entry.

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.

V.E Day Oldtimes

Boyhood
. School leaver. I needed another occupation something to supplement. my basic wage which was small and easily spent. Why I picked on potato nets is a mystery, but opportunity did not knock consistently and the outlay was reasonable, even for one in my position. It was a product that my intuition...

Alone. Today I feel like walking alone I cross the long flat expanses of my mind. This place has been cut from memories The sandy floor is the disintegrated core of all my hopes and ambitions. An occasional object almost like a sad tree Stands in the distance and a few scattered pools of light rest... Sign in to see full entry.

Plant Addict. I walked into the garden store Believe me it was just today I did not need anymore. I’d have a quick look anyway Three little pinks in plastic pots stood alone upon a shelf. I started to muse, they gave me the hots. I gave a little sigh and pitied myself. With thoughts from the blue... Sign in to see full entry.
