Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Secret me: 8 of 50
Island girl of wholesome grace youthful, fresh and fair of face That's what they see, yet really not the real me. Can't you tell I need my space So I can run my lonely race I'm doing it all at my own pace Unhappy and alone. Few that know what went before The bitter things of which so sore. Better keep those locked down deep ... More..

One life, it's a shame To go on living life the same way Relying on your certainties That weren't that certain, anyway Tired of it Of all the crap we go through Time and time again No resolution Ever Unwillingness to bend from things you learned Years ago To enable different realities To fulfill even you More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Cheating: 43 of 168

A recipe, flawed from the start, frothy concoction of ill-matched parts, chemistry no good for that particular souffl... More..

Do they still do it that thing they used to call "The Mexican Wave"? Impressive it was, when it started. Like a tidal wave of arms, ejecting the crowd forcibly from their seats, popping up in almost surprised synchronicity. How novel it was once And how dull now. Yet there's another wave that took my fancy As I walked along ... More..

Ashnee We're going on for miles now, This Greyhound bus from Adelaide, I fidget in my lonely seat My tourist feast delayed. I hadn't really counted, that things would take so long The mighty desert rolling by Awaits Uluru's song.
