Something that must come out of me. Something very personal and always heartfelt. Something I truly love to read and write, especially love poems.

Not all of my poetry is about relationships. Some of it's about me or about a friend or about no one in particular. Be open minded.

Try not to be closed minded.

Exactly. The emotion is in the words written after the fact.

I suppose the statement may not apply to the sort of people who roll around on the floor, bawling their eyes out whilst manically scribbling down words about a failed relationship, but that's not me. I should also point out that I have William Wordsworth to thank for that quotation.

Liz: "It's actually Oeuvre, from the French..."

Me: "Fuck off... From the Anglo-Saxon..."

Liz: "You are too sensitive..."

Me: "Actually, I was joking!!!"

Liz: "Yeah, I know... I was talking about your poetry..."

Me: "Touche..."

Liz: "It's pronounced 'too-shay'..."

Me: "I FUCKING hate you..."

"Tonight I had The Drowning Dream again,
Vanishing under dishwater waves,
Nothing to lose you understand,
But nothing to save...

Peaceful, believe it or not
In a juxtapostion;
A moment of sweet transition
Between what you wish you didn't have and what you've got...

Everything suspended, written in green ink,
Swirling and warm like something you might think
Might be comforting and as welcoming as a kiss...
Or just something as ordinary as this...

If there is a God he'll smile
And I'll tell you the because... You see,
While in the moment of wonder at blissful surrender, I thought,
"Was that HONESTLY all it was? Is this really the end of me?"

When the dust of my masking shroud,
cover the smile of my erstwhile,
I'll be over the miles a distant prose,
traveling down a winding road.
up a down staircase on life's ladder.

I hope it was a poetic burp and not a plan... and it still is fucking beautiful!
A little kindness can be so valuable, yet costs almost nothing

In many countries being gay is a crime, and even in modern societies, politicians try to legalise discrimination. Your voice can make a difference. Have a look at All Out to find out how.

Dammit Steph, I'm going to have a word with you about where you wash your dishes. Where are you washing them? Swimming pool? The beach? Well cut it out, you'll drown yourself, silly.

...and God would send you back cause you have too much writing left to do. Besides, there are more women than men in Ireland and most of the world.

You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.

You are EITHER being HIGHLY IRONIC AND SELF DEPRECATING or else you have TOTALLY misunderstood my point...

(I'm PRESUMING that it is the former...)

And anyway, YOU are not allowed to EVEN CONSIDER the self-serving exit... You STILL owe me that money...

xx SF

SPRITE: "WHAT money??? I don't OWE you any money? I have never even TALKED about money with you far less borrowed any???"

Me: "You aren't allowed to KILL YOURSELF until I get my money is all I'm saying..."

SPRITE: "WHAT FUCKING MONEY???"

Me: "Keep thinking like that..."

You just recently found out what chlamydia was. At first you thought that was the name of the girl you picked up at the bar last week. Then you had to scrap that poem you'd written, Chlamydia My Sunshine. Now you're calling it, It Stings When I Pee or as your wrote it, It STINGS When I PEE.

why does it hurt when I pee
why does it hurt when I pee
I don't want no doctor
to stick no needle in me
why does it hurt when I pee

I got it from the toilet seat
I got it from the toilet seat
it jumped right up
and grabbed my meat
I got it from the toilet seat.

My balls feel like a pair of maracas
My balls feel like a pair of maracas
Oh god I prob'ly got the gohn-no-ca-ca-cacas
My balls feel like a pair of maracas

Poetry is similar to prose but also not quite. In a gross oversimplification of the two, it's like this:
Prose is a piece of writing with words in the best possible order.
Poetry is a piece of writing with the best possible words in the best possible order.

I can’t think of a good tagline so this will have to do. Suggest a better one for me?

BACK ON TOPIC!!!

I write BOTH prose AND poetry...

PROSE is me trying to tell a story I LIKE that I imagine might amuse you, Dear Reader...

POETRY is when I TRY to allow my soul to SHOUT and THEN I have to make it sound PRETTY!!!

(Prose is MUCH HARDER WORK!!!)

There are ELEMENTS of THE SOUL in both forms, but I LIKE BOTH!!! (As a WRITER they are not REMOTELY similar!!!)

In PROSE I am CONSCIOUS of what it is I have to do... (With poetry/song, I CONFESS, I never have any idea of what I am trying to do...) The PROSE HAS TO BE CAREFULLY CRAFTED!!! It has to be A REAL THING...

The poetry doesn't have to be anything...

But I TRY TO DO IT, and I TRY TO MAKE IT BEAUTIFUL...

I LOOK at some of my STORIES and I think, "That was pretty well done..." (Some of my poems/songs actually make me CRY...) They didn't when I wrote them...

In BOTH poetry and prose ALL WRITERS do the SAME THING... (They look at an EMPTY PAGE...) And then, to the best of their ALWAYS LIMITED ability they TRY to place a thought, an emotion, into the heart of another person...

(It does NOT always work...)

But when it does, it is as beautiful as getting a kiss...

(And that is why I do it...)
