By the way, after about three days burrowing into my son's room, the various leads required to plug the fiddle into the pc have finally turned up, so I'm going to play around musically tomorrow. No promises. It might get nowhere. But I'm surrounded by cables here and feeling a little more optimistic. :)
:D Excellent Delph... I look forward to any and all work you share mate...

It's a great buzz being creative again. I have a photo-shoot tomorrow to do for my performer / writer pal, Debbie to promote her new play. We'll be launching that on our domain soon. Not forgetting the Sensitize e-zine and hopefully submissions from all members...

Excellent Delph

I find poetry hard enough withot forcing a structure on myself thats why i stay away from this type of verse If my grasp of English was more strong I would, but I admire those that know as much as you

Thanks Sergi. I am full of admiration for anyone who can write poetry, as you do, in a language that is not their mother tongue, but I don't blame you for avoiding formal writing.

I'm no expert on these forms. Most of what I've learned has been inspired by reading what other people have written in various writing forums - people like Danimik, who is incredibly knowledgeable and a wonderful poet.

That's the great thing about these forums. They send you off in new directions. Encourage you to explore new forms.

First Class Post

“A first class post,” my woodwork teacher said
to Ben, but not to me, because my work
was crap. “I wonder what goes through your head,”
he snarled at me, and then, “You stupid berk,”
was what I heard him mutter as he went.
I wanted to impale him on my post.
Okay, perhaps it could have been less bent,
with fewer bumps and notches, but then most
of us aren’t perfect, unlike ghastly Ben
the teacher’s pet, the loathsome specky geek.
I threw my post at Ben; it killed him. Then
I murdered sir for calling me a freak.
Well, that’s not true. A ‘berk’ was what he said,
but still I stuck my post right through his head.

SHELL SHOCKED

The incubator’s light turned green. We cheered!
The wait was over, eggs would hatch tonight,
but as we watched it flickered fast. We feared
the hatchlings wouldn’t last, would die of fright.
“Not so!” Professor Zog cried, full of glee,
“Their life force cannot fail, I promise you.”
And he was right. Now all of us could see
a tiny movement; peck, peck, peck, and through
the mottled shell a beak appeared. A beak?
But dragons don’t have beaks. We were perplexed.
This looked more like a chicken. Zog looked bleak.
“Good grief!” he wailed. “I say! Whatever next!”
And thus it was, despite a heartfelt plea,
Professor Zog now works for KFC.

Thanks Lugh. When I receive my complimentary copy in a few week's time, I'll be able to see what it costs, etc. (Haven't a clue at the moment.)

The fizz is cooling in the fridge even as I type...

Waiting For Love. By Louis P. Burns aka Lugh © 2007.

waiting for love

  • sugared semi-nightime daylight shows us
    frosty treetops stripped to bird; while mankind
    salting icy pavements helps his elders
    safely travel without slipping - sliding;
    coal fires heating barsnugs - toasting faces
    of young lovers - as they promise to be
    truthful to each other - through their lifetimes
    into old age - and all that lies beyond;
    dark smoke maybe listens drifting upwards
    out of chimneys - down embittered street scenes
    no-go areas - council house dead ends - where
    crosstown traffic murmurs through the distance
    half-remembered chorus sung on cold days
    like these - waiting for love - inspiration
