About me - Matt Morgan-Rawes

The world is a scary, wonderful, confusing, disorientating, gratifying and expansive (and expesnive) place, as I am discovering. I'm only 19 years old and I consider myself to have lived a relatively sheltered life so far, but I want to get out there and

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: On love: 1 of 386
Couples dancing those same old dances Uniform and regimented, no foot out of place Keeping to rhythm, in orderly lines Burning time and filling blank space He holds her hips and gives them a squeeze Whilst she wraps her arms round his neck They look so perfect, cinematic, pristine They look up, still moving, a deft little pe...

Entertainment > Movie Reviews Movie reviews: Superbad: 1 of 26
Superbad is a comedy aimed at the teenage demographic, focusing on sex, smut, bumping uglies, doing the dirty, making that special love cuddle etc. It sounds crude and, trust me, in places the language is delightfully coarse and the observations made about sex, masturbation and the courting of lovely young women by hapless, ...

Entertainment > Musicians & Bands Band reviews: Green Day: 1 of 20
American Idiot: The Final Say American Idiot has divided opinions as finely as George W. Bush's foreign policy which partly inspired the album. Die-hard fans and those who loathed the quirky trio from the start openly declare their hatred for the black eye-liner, the six singles released that whiff of the smell of a dreaded ... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: The love of my life: 12 of 37
She's there In every smile on my face As she dances in my mind Her hair free-flowing Her spirit rising, soaring. She's there in the day In the cold springtime sun amongst the flowers that blossom And she steals my breath with A devastating movement of grace. She's there in the night She's the furthest star that shines In the... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Happy families: 1 of 3
Barricaded in my room Door locked, mouth shut For another painful day I just want to get away. They're so damn selfish They can never agree Why is it that they can't see That what they do hurts me So much that I'll be happy When I'm gone, far away from here Away from the countless tears The fighting and my deepest fears Away...

Sports & Recreation > English Soccer Which English Premier League team is best equipped to break into the top four: 7 of 14
The chances are that if you're reading this article, you will fall in to one of three categories: 1. English Soccer fans who support one of the top four and are taking a half-interested but also half amused look at the so-called "competition" beneath them. 2. English Soccer fans who do not support one of the top four and are... More..
Entertainment > Movie Reviews Movie reviews: This is England: 5 of 10
Director Shane Meadows' 2005 indie-hit This Is England is a faithful recreation of England in the 1980s; the era of Two-Tone ska revival, Roland Rat and the emergence of Princess Diana into the public eye. It was also the era of Thatcherism, the National Front and the Falklands War. Meadows recalls the 80s with a confusing c... More..
Sports & Recreation > English Soccer The future of Portsmouth soccer: 1 of 2
Portsmouth Football Club: A ship on course for great things The year is 2002. Fratton Park is three-quarters full, although the pathetic volume being produced by those who bothered to watch the match against Burnley would certainly defy the numbers in attendance. Harry Redknapp is sat in the South Stand next to Milan Mandari... More..
Society & Lifestyle > Lifestyles & Subcultures (Other) Defining Rahs: Who are they?: 1 of 2
The Rah Fallacy As an English student and a casual writer, I have been occasionally encouraged by a peer or a scholar to start an essay or prolonged piece of writing with a definition. The initial problem that presents itself in the infancy of my article about "Rahs", however, is that from my perspective the term is so diffu... More..
Sports & Recreation > English Soccer Is the construction of the new Portsmouth Football Club stadium a viable proposal: 1 of 1
The Great Stadium Fiasco (Or alternatively, how not to botch 5 years of good work) They are heralding a new and exciting frontier on the South Coast. Their course has been set on European football and with it a cosmopolitan, European city. They are completely delusional. I am an avid Pompey fan. I admit that in my younger, n... More..
