I'm Doing Life
by Shelly D
|
I don't do happy,
I don't do laughter,
I'm not easy going or relaxed,
I'm not careful or carefree,
I don't go with the flow I'm not laid back,
I'm doing life.
Events have overtaken me and
Hold fast long after the p a i n has subsided.
Hasty decisions haunt me now and forever more,
Like the little black cloud that has followed me ever since I was born.
Angry and threatening every waking morn it reminds me.
I'm doing life.
|
|
Trapped even more than I was before,
Stuck in a prison of my own making,
"You've really done it this time!"
"Don't tell me that I know."
I thought it was just a rehearsal I did it all for show.
It was supposed to be the end,
A grand finale if you please
But it wasn't and it's not
Now they all want an encore
How do I top that?
Should I lay my life bare?
Does anyone really..Is it wrong to stop mid sentence?
I'm doing life,
Don't you get it?
I'm doing life.

Poetry - The Egotist By Cilla
|
|
Tell me I'm great
Tell me I'm good
If you were a real friend
I'm sure that you would.
And why not be friends?
You're so good for me
But only when you tell
What I want to see ..

Poetry - Equal Amongst Giants (Edinburgh Literature Festival) and Night Driving in American Werewolf Country.
|
|
by Oz Hardwick
I paid my money, listened attentively,
clapped politely, filed out slowly,
stood (vaguely embarrassed), waited in line
with book at the ready to meet The Author.
I asked him to sign my favourite chapter,

Poetry - Girls (for Rebecca and Ellen) and Pilot
|
|
By Nigel Walker
Girls, girls
slow down !
I don't know what to write.
It will take one hundred hours
|
just to say how I feel about
the sound of your feet on the stairs.
Each morning you are a fresh oyster prised.
The crash of tsunami. The prow of a hunting ship.

Poetry - Thoroughly Post-Modern Millie & Conspiracy
|
|
By Jane Foster
I'm thoroughly post-modern Millie.
I'm having such a ball.
I've got 15 personas
But no-one loves them all..
|
I'm thoroughly post-modern Millie.
I've eaten all the men.
I swallowed all life gave me
And threw it up again.

Poetry - The Seventies and Back Burner Men By Jane Foster
|
|
The Seventies were great.
You could bounce on your space hopper.
It was OK to ask a girl
To come sit on your Chopper.
|
A man had just walked on the moon.
The Beatles had just split.
Together they were beautiful
But separate they were shit.

by Lee Cassanell
|
|
I could not be more obvious,
It echoes from my eyes,
I'm always semi conscious,
I can't help telling lies.
|
My father was a butcher,
My mother easy meat,
I strolled the streets of childhood,
With sandals on my feet.

By Darren Sant
Excited young faces,
Stick thin legs and untied laces,
Breathlessly chasing the ball,
Youngsters large and small.

Poetry - "Chemical Love" and "Digit-ull Shitty"
|
|
By Rich Mills
I double dropped before I went in,
Being searched by the doorman put my head-in-a-spin.
I pays me money and am through the door,
Head starts to bob, soon drawn to the dance-floor.
Then through throbbing heart and a tribal beat,
Two pairs of dilated rolling eyes briefly meet.

Poetry - A thing of dreams & The only mark I wear (for you)
|
|
By Jason Karlson
Many a night a knight will rescue you
But that’s not me my love
I am his proud white stead below
Speed you from the darkness with
Love written across my flank
And every mile I run
