Stevie - self love is not a crime. It's sex with someone who won't empty your bank a/c behind your back, let alone run off to clubs when there's pots to be washed etc. etc.


Quoted from Rik Mayall in 'Bottom'
Self gratification? I'm quite capable of that on my own thankyou!  


Start the car! Now!

And after McCornetto's fine contribution I shall retrieve my poetry pen and get my coat...

Quoted from mcornetto
I very curious if anyone really "got" my last poem.  How about if today's theme is something more gothic, like  ghosts?


I'm not sure Michael, but did you take the letters in "self deceit" and keep reorganizing them?

At first I thought it was an anagram, but that's the way it seems to me. And isn't that what we do when we self deceive? We perform these calculations, trying to make it feel right for ourselves. Very deceptive!

Quoted from CindyLKeller
HAUNTED
by Cindy L. Keller

Shadows sway betwixt silvery veils
stretching vapors of opaque light.
Still oak trees hold no tales.
Secrets are hushed by night.

Marshy green of nethermost glade...
Spirits maundering cries...
Echoes reach out to darkness... Fade.
Footprints settle from sight.

Fathom you must - secluded endeavor.
Serpents guard. Curiosity laid.
Be prepared to stay forever
when entering nethermost glade.

Hear the howl of the banshee's wail.
Trembling leaves of green subside,
giving way to spirit's sail...
The summoning forces ride.


Excellent work Cindy!!!

Stop it now stop it! Or you'll have me imagining these ghosts and monsters running around in The Thief game. Oops, I already did...

But it's getting worse! Michael, this is your fault.

A Lover's Ghost


He's a fascinating force

When you strip him off his bones

Unbounded

Grateful and regretful both

This energetic ghost of a man

I love it when he steps into my space

I feel his willful desire

I will spend eternity with him

Ghosts we will be

Emptying ourselves of old pain

Thrilling ourselves on the wind

Above the water

Soaring as birds

Until we sit down to dream again

And again we will come together

Bound incarnate in the seeds

And meet to plan a meeting

The ghost of our plans

The plan of our ghosts

Upon us in favor

Upon the morning and evening

And through the certainty of death again

To go alone

And to come back

To this energetic ghost of a man

His desire, waiting upon my bed


Sandra E.

Sandra,

Fine work. Between you and McCornetto (amongst others) I now see the bar is extremely high round here. I need a Grademan style bar to compete.

Excellent work. Extremely entertaining and evocative. Keep it up. Good night.

Ghost.

Interrupts my slumber,
Fondles with my hunger,
All in my head?
Fuck you, sleep in my bed.

The psychologists come and dine,
Tell me it's all in my mind,
"I see things" I scream,
They shake their heads, call me obscene.

Ghosts constantly surround me,
I have such a strong desire to be free
They cling like bugs and honey,
Please help me, I'll give you all my money.

Anything to rid this torture,
I wish they were as hard as mortar.
So I could shoot them myself,
And then, finally, maybe, regain my full health.

Ok. I had a really long involved day today and couldn't write a serious sort of poem.  I got a laugh out of this one but it is probably a bit politically incorrect - so I'll apologise in advance if I'm offending anyone and post it anyway.  

The Casper Rap

Casper say boo
but you did know
he was friendly,
but had three bad bros
they treated him nasty
he was their bitch
his good friend Wende
she was a witch.

he say boo.  
Casper  
he say Boo.
Casper.

He liked to hang
In a haunted house
he scared some people
even scared a mouse
He wasn’t no gansta
He wanted a friend
And like most white boys
He had a happy end.

He say boo
Casper
C’mon say boo
Casper

You must work well when you've had a hard day at work, Michael because I really thought this one was good. And I too apologize, if I offend anyone by condoning the use of "white boy"

Microwaveable Instant Poem

The thought is fast
And moves so swift
But to figure it out?
I can't catch the drift

I sit here blurry
Sipping dark brew
I'm lost in thought
Without a clue

If thought is instant
Then why can't I make
A microwave screenplay
Like a microwave cake?

Materialize things
With the blink of an eye
But that would be boring
If I don't have to try

I still like cooking
A slow cooking stew
And peeling potatoes
And sipping my brew

Whether brewed with hops
Or brewed with beans
I sip it slow
And dream the dream

I guess I love life
And all hidden fate
Because fast only means
You hurry up and wait

Sandra E.
