A counting game

Hands up!  if you're hopeful   
Hands higher! if you're not   
Let's play Follow the Leader.   
Now, we're running-on-the-spot.   
 
You all stopped - but joke's on you!   
Simon  
 
didn't   
tell you  
 
to.   
 
A cargo net is sprawled.   
This is today's new show.   
The mixture of fear and giggles!   
This will teach us what we need to know.  
 
 
Bravely, we let go.  One-by-one, we fall.   
Unfortunately,   
the net   
doesn't   
catch

Makes my teeth  a thousand shades  of unpleasant

Buffet birthday lunchI remember November  not necessarily the fifth  but some time between  
Guy Fawkes getting laid and hanged   
We sat in the restaurant  while the vengeful burned us in effigy  set skyrockets to celebrate  our defeat and demise   
The gunpowder below parliament  isn't going to blow, is it?  we can hope it still might  but hope's done us no good   
One draught beer and several plates  getting our free lunch's worth  there's no such thing, we're told  and we proved them right

Clutching, grasping  to keep from falling  hanging on to the world  so as not to fall off  comfort like a kitten  massaging milk from mother   
Don't let go and don't lose now  we're safe and slowly ascending  hand up for the lifeguard  and the teacher with the lolly  to pull us from the surf, drowning  and tell us that we're clever boys Grasp

Up and bored  keeping warm  looking for my flavour of porn  to kill time before church  thinking too much about life  and doing too little about it

The sky after rainYou remind me of the sky after the rain.  A weak smile, pale skin, honesty.  The humidity rises as you sink next to me,  onto this couch, made of drunken nights.  We cross our legs, cross our fingers.  A draft pushes through the room.  Your hair drifts toward my shoulder, clings to me.  We whisper here,through the noise.  The place full of people, leaning our heads  in close is the only way to hear your words.  So busy playing pieces in this puzzle,  good at being apart of something more,  I forget that you are an enigma.  That in the morning you will disappear.  I come to The sky after rain

Remind me never to be one of two drunk guys in the V8 of a sober guy on a late night road trip... without my poetry-writing notebook thinger.

Oh, so many gems... splayed onto the highway. Somewhere between the roadworks and waking up the ranger at the national park.

How confident of you... then again, I have the same suspicion about my pageviews so I don't blame you!

You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone.

Oh pffft, most of those were me reloading the page for updated comments or just boredom. Maybe divide that number by three and then distribute that amongst all my watchers, leaving the remainder for the randoms. haha.

Welcome to my page and I do hope you are able to explore more thoroughly. Please enjoy and leave whatever feedback you can muster. :)

Wow! You really are a brilliant poet, aren't you?

Why don't you join the poetry contest from [link] ?


It's free and every nitwit such as myself who enters gets a small gift

but someone like you might win one of their $10 000 or $100 000 prizes.

Seasonal Affective Disorder...? Hmm - haven't heard of that one before. :P

lol... I think we all have issues of some kind. ;)
Some of us are more alike than others,
no matter where we live. :P

And believe me, winter is very much in my mind.
i do not like the cold, and it has snowed every single day.
It is NOT SUPPOSED TO SNOW!!! It never snows... ever.
Warmth is supposed to be seeping in.... lol
but it's not.

*dies*

You and the prolific Ms Cabernet? :disbelief:
Just because it's Winter in Pommyland doesn't mean you have to get all Seasonal Affective Disorder on your DA poems. ;)

lol... ok, that totally made me feel a 100 times better about myself. :lmao: ^.^ You're good - thanks for the attempt to pull me out of my self induced "limbo" of bodiless depression - especially when it comes to my, uh... work.

Aww, don't be so hard on yourself.

Though I do appreciate the warning - one of my annoyances is rhyming-for-the-sake-of-rhyming in a poem that would communicate even better without it.

I sit and watch the glistening moon
it reminds me of my dinner spoon
I use that spoon to eat my soup
it reminds me of a hula-hoop
I use that hoop to kill my dog
making Rex as still as a log...

Haha... My poems and "stuff" are pretty pathetic.
I just like to rhyme - warning you now...

Hmm... Thank you for the watch, I think. Though I've stormed over your page rather quickly - I'd just like to say that even if I don't comment, I AM reading through everything and I am pretty impressed and content to keep reading on and on and on and on and . . . .

You get the idea. ;)
