Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Waiting: 1 of 179

The Ballad of Average Joe Average Joe was a nice kinda guy,Gentle and calm, wouldn't hurt a fly.He tried his best, where ever he could,To do the things, that he always should. He met a girl, so sweet and kind,And fell in love, compatible minds.She could stop the World, with her warming smiles,Light up the sky, with her twinkl... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Lost love: 1 of 132

He's thirty-nine now, sat in the square,Nursing a latte, comfortable chair.Massing throngs, rushing by,They take no notice, his tearful eye.His hands are clenched, warming cup,Distant chime, his face looks up.Perhaps this time, she will appear,He looks around, she's nowhere near.His mind unravels, what has he done?Her face wa...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: The perfect day: 1 of 20

Sun is shining, roads are dry,Excitement building, emotions high.Leather clad body, safety first,Last swig of tea, quenching thirst. Wheel her out, polished and clean,Black and chrome, looks so mean.Gunned into life, guttural bark,Helmet on, visor dark. Take it steady, first few miles,Hard to suppress, happy smiles.Twist the ...

Hobbies & Games > Video Game Reviews Video game reviews: Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock (Wii, Xbox 360, PS3): 1 of 11
Wii version. As the name suggests, this is the third installment of Activisions popular guitar playing game and the first to appear on the Wii. Having never played previous games, I was a little dubious as to how well the game would play particularly with what I thought was a pretty tacky-looking, 'pretend' guitar. Thankfully... More..
Autos > Motorcycles & Scooters Essential motorcycle safety gear: 1 of 11
Having been involved in a fairly serious bike accident myself, I am in the unenviable position of being able to advise on motorcycle safety gear from an end-users expert perspective. This is a view on protective kit from one who has had cause to use it.As safe as I thought I rode my Honda Blackbird, nothing could have prepare... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: I'm sorry: 5 of 50

I'm sorry to see I can't get a message through,To make sure you're both ok.I'm sorry for having to say these words,In this obtuse, impersonal way. So, I'm sorry for all the things I said,No hurt was ever meant.I'm sorry for all the things I did,No malice in my intent. I'm sorry for coming between you both,I admit, it was all... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Confusion: 4 of 38

Drowning in a sea of confusion,Hoping it's not just an illusion.Flat on my back, looking up to the sky,Floored again, I wonder why. Drowning in a sea of confusion,Giving in to this horrible delusion.Melting heart, so gentle and true,Simply stopped working, broken in two. Drowning in a sea of confusion,Emotions pierced by a be...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: There you are again: 1 of 9

I saw you on the train, on a cold December day.A place where I couldn't stop, or find the words to say.I saw you in the castle, magnificent views all round.A place where kids like to go, six thousand feet above the ground.I saw you in your colourful garden, meandering full at ease,A place where you love to be, feeling the sum...
