Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Father: 5 of 131

AN ODE FROM FATHER TO SON The best ever son that a father could wish With a ten year addiction to chuck one off from the wrist. Growing ever more like me with the passing of days With your constant mood changes and cynical ways. The receding hairline you cover with a hat, Devoid of grooming you are hairy and fat. You shout a...
Entertainment > Characters & Performances Top 10 Johnny Depp characters: 1 of 18

Nominated for a 2008 Oscar for his role in Sweeney Todd, Johnny Depp continues to dazzle the movie industry. The sheer genius and diverse range covered by his acting ability dictate that with each film he stars in, there will be another brilliant character portrayal worthy of being added to anybody's top ten list. I feel it ...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Freedom: 18 of 268

Rules of Freedom Complicate my life if you wish It won't keep me from my path Continuing on peacefully As I sing and dance and laugh. Your rules will not defeat me Damn you and your control Stake claims upon my body But you'll never take my soul. The hamster wheel of life rolls on Don't get caught in the spin Deny the truth ...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Depression: 49 of 630

Thanks Doctor I remember the day so clearly A teenage boy before your eyes You handed out a life sentence Force feeding me your lies Chemical imbalance These pills will make things right Trusted trained professional Adding pressure to my plight It's funny though as I recall I came to you with stress You handed me the big bad...
Politics, News & Issues > Soccer News & Opinion Is Capello the right man for the England job?: 1 of 10

Fabio Capello has been described as the man with a bigger ego than the players and with the current England squad, his ego needs to be as big as his reputation in the game. He is a man with presence and a single minded winning mentality, that will act as a wake up call for a National team guilty of failing to reach their pot...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: The first time: 6 of 35

The First Time I recall the first time I was caught swearing by my Dad The neighbour's dog came at me And I was raging mad It snapped around my ankles It's teeth bared, I lost my head. I could hardly kick the dog away So I swore at it instead. It quickly turned and ran away I had a smile from ear to ear. Then I saw my Dad in...
Politics, News & Issues > Soccer News & Opinion Will Sam Allardyce succeed with Newcastle United?: 2 of 11

Sam Allardyce guided Bolton Wanderers to a level that few outside the club would ever have imagined. They were often branded as a long ball team and seemed to be an unfashionable footballing outfit. Each year 'Big Sam' improved the status of this northern club with his own brand of gritty determination, whilst bringing in pl...
Entertainment > Characters & Performances Great Steve Buscemi characters: 1 of 4

With each Steve Buscemi character portrayal, the movie lover is treated to the highest level of acting performance imaginable. Often described as a character actor due to the lack of leading man roles, Buscemi seems more comfortable being viewed as a supporting actor than a movie star. Certainly his unique looks are such tha...

We Still Have Each Other We may not have it all girl But we sure have each other. You are the only one I need Best friend and greatest lover. Though times may seem so hard And lights all seem to fade now I know our hearts are pure love, I know our love is still strong. It feels the world's against us The cold and frosty wint...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Homeless: 63 of 185

Angel of the Street Guardian of the doorway Faithful servant by his side I need money not your pity reads his sign I can feel his sense of pride. Watching people disapprovingly Pass by with shaking head Their judgement pollutes the city air Not a single word is said. I've seen enough And make a stand, I pat his dog And shake...
