Hello my wee Fek xxxx
How the Devil are ya?
Very well thankyou (Apart from the voices in my head) But it’s ok they are arguing amongst thereselves today :lol:
I hope you are well too?
Seems like they’ve had the broom out and cleared some leaves from the path in here :?:
So that’s where my mode of transport went..dammit.
SHETTLESTON ROAD
The wee beige-bummed mongrel
patters past the Pizza-Palace,
pauses to pee
on a polystyrene carton,
pauses to sniff
at his balls,
then barrels-off across the road
doggedly,
taking the corner with a frivolous flounce
of a furbelow tail.
Dissonant in the distance,
the jingle jangle jolly
of an ice-cream van
clamouring through concrete,
clattering past the cordon
of a row of flats,
cutting
like a cutlass,
like a klaxon,
like the curdling colic grizzle
of a crying child.Someone’s growing rhubarb in a garden,
a hooded boy takes pot-shots with a sling.
The textile shop has a half-price sale,
a carpenter splits his thumb on a nail
and the girl in the sauna
removes her wedding ring.The wee beige-bummed mongrel
pooters past the Peking Palace,
pauses to poke
at a pile of paper wrappings,
pauses to lick
at his ar se,
then skittles-off across the street
snappily,
skirting a skoda with a fabulous flick
of a palatine paw.
Dubious in the distance
the piercing palilalia
of an ambulance
sheering through the city,
sanguiferous, saccadic
on a hill of bones,
scything
as a sickle,
as a scalpel,
as the howling scarlatina
of a dying child.©
Bonfire
Up and up
into a vein-coloured sky,
go wraiths and spectres
mabbled soft in shrouds of carbon,
mournful as the maws of wolves in supplication to their moon
which –
frowning with an eyebrow sea,
slings cold fish tears,
to dampen down
the badious bones and bavins
of a dying month.©
I would be Wonderanimalrescuerwoman..with atonishing capacities for storing abandoned animals beneath my Wonderanimalrescuerwoman-emblazoned cape as i circumnavigate the world, releasing pandas and elephants from captivity, to come and live with me on planet Nomorezoosyoubarstards. :P

Esme..a question. I noticed that you put the little copyright c after your works. Now whilst this wouldn’t prevent people from actually pinching your works, if they did and you had copyrighted it as your own work, would you be able to sue someone. Or is the little copyright c in this context not worth the thread it is posted on?
As long as I can prove that I am indeed Esmeralda (and I can) then my work is protected by copyright..as is anyones’s as long as they can lay proof to their name or ndp.
An obliging midget!
I’m sorry (no I’m not) but I feel compelled to play THIS..all the talk of Toybully’s head has gone to my hat…

Y’all may have noticed the disappearance of a thread myself and Pepper set up to showcase our stuff under the banner of FRAGMENTS. Well we got to thinking that maybe this was too elitist if not pretentious and just asking for a good kicking from the usual suspects, so we dumped it.
However, from there came the seed of another idea..that all the poets and writers here each have their own little collection of work under their own title (I claim FRAGMENTS for myself :P) so that we can more readily access the work and regard the growth of same. I think it would be marvellous to see groupings of..say..Minim’s poetry..Ruby’s stories and poetry..Cath’s..FMN’s and so on. It would also prevent individual poems from being buried when one poet follows on quickly from another before the previous work has had time to breathe.
So..can we have a show of hands from those interested in individually showcasing their talents..don’t be shy..you know it makes sense. Don’tcha? :wink:
Well, so far confirmed on here or privately, we have Toy, Cath, Ruby, myself and Pepper up for the idea of flying solo. Let me add that the individual threads are still up for brickbats as much as for laurels..this isn’t about vanity so much as clarity..so feel free to insert relevant comments where the fancy takes y’all.
Now, who’s gonna grab a title to sally forth nekkid as a jaybird?User? or wait..um..Ugly?
