Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: The face of death: 3 of 64
Isolated at the northern most desolate waste, Abandoned and fearing the worst so early in life. I sit sheltered under the wooden hut where I am based, And my frostbitten, immovable fingers add to my strife. The generator's frozen, nonworking, quite rigid, And with hammer I smite it in hope for life. But it remains cold on th... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: A lasting love: 5 of 66
Each time I gaze into your eyes There's a feeling I can't ignore, And the amount I feel grows in size And I know I love you more. Each passing grain of sand drawn time Pounds my heart until it's sore, While every tick, tock and chime Lets me know I love you more. This aching in my soul and heart Renders these emotions to the...

Food & Drink > Beer Reviews Beer reviews: Guinness Draught: 2 of 11
The golden harp backed in black with that familiar white writing. Such insignia adorns the hand pumps of most U.K drinking houses. The proof that Guinness is still, as ever, a popular beverage. Commonly called a beer (a generic term derived from the Germanic 'biber' or 'to drink'), Guinness is visually closer to a porter. Th... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Missing a loved one: 34 of 179
Missing Her 'Blueing' your eyes with shadow, While artfully wearing your shirt, Your serenity is driving me mad Your confidence is making me hurt. Clipping back your hair and smiling, Speaking so softly, so clearly, so well, Your attention to others compiling My personal heart broken Hell. You are so happy and flirty without... More..
Food & Drink > Drinks (Other) What is your favorite beverage?: 12 of 62
It does not matter if you are with company or without, nothing is as pleasurable as a decent Gin and tonic. The day can be hot and it quenches, the rain can soak and it warms. Gin seems adult and unsullied unlike other spirits. It is natural as a British man to require my Gin with a sharp effervescent tonic water. This is no... More..

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: War: 115 of 544
I trample where the daisies grow, Churn the earth and scorch the trees, The fertile fields the farmers sow, Are abundant with decay not seeds. Empty hollows alive with death, Carved with mailice by eighty eights, Are born across the landscape's breadth, Each one announced with thuds and shakes. The bees have fled the killing... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Work: 20 of 85
Beside the road beneath the lights, The cars roll past with places to be, Yet I sit here a feature of the night, On my own, without purpose, lonely. The radio mutters to the other few, "Eagle one three Sid?" and then is gone, Sweet silence wraps my ears anew, Then it crackles forth "Call me Wimbledon". A procession of cars s... More..
Hobbies & Games > Hobbies & Games (Other) The basics of using airsoft guns: 1 of 4
The prominence of safety is paramount in most sports and hobbies. The education and legislation of this discipline is normally highlighted by the use of rules. Airsoft is no different in this respect, but as can be expected, is more readily attacked by the public should anything go awry. The main proponent for this is primar... More..
Food & Drink > Beer Reviews Beer reviews: Black Sheep Brewery Black Sheep: 2 of 5
There are many features to enjoying Real Ale, one of which must be the vast selection on offer. Unlike massively produced beverages, Real Ales tend to focus upon quality and in many cases tradition. Black Sheep Ale is one such ale produced by the similarly named Black Sheep Brewery in Masham, North Yorkshire. Black Sheep Ale... More..
