SID (Short Story) |
He had only started to say it recently. It had been on his mind, twittering around like a caged bird for a week now, since his 74th birthday. That one phrase which he knew to be wary of because of th... Posted by on Thu, 04 Oct 2007 05:01:00 GMT |
Stoned In Italy |
We never had it,
I never had you
And thinking other is not wise.
Your eyes glazed over with lies
When you looked at me
In Italy,
In twilight streets,
In the boot.
Your lies are a drug I'd shoot
To bel... Posted by on Wed, 26 Sep 2007 07:32:00 GMT |
DANCING TREE |
When the wind's from the north
I do a jig
Raise a branch and shake a twig.
When the wind's from the south
See me rustle
I ballet dance, I'm Darcey Bussell.
When the wind's from the west
I do a jive

THE TREE WAY |
I have pushed through
From a seed
As have you.
I'll be as tall
As my seed
Once was small.
Strength is built in
To my trunk,
To my wood.
Hardy as sin
Though I'm sure
I Am good.
See me, I rise
I look ou... Posted by on Wed, 08 Aug 2007 16:21:00 GMT |

FLY MAN (SHORT STORY) |
The window's open and blowing a good breeze into the room and I know that I won't be enjoying the feel of it on my skin for that much longer now, so that's good. I can see the outside through th... Posted by on Thu, 12 Jul 2007 16:45:00 GMT |
THE LADY TREE |
Artfully formed
Branches reach
Down and over
Three saplings
Of mine.
Twigs, leaves spreading
Letting light
Filter youthful
Nourishing
Sun shine.
When I am dead,
Fallen, felled,
These Thr... Posted by on Tue, 10 Jul 2007 15:07:00 GMT |
ANGRY TREE ON A COMMON |
You think its easy being a tree
But a lot goes in to me being me
The crow will caw and think its great
'Cause it hunts all day, swooping straight
Down to catch its prey and tear it apart
Dismembering ... Posted by on Tue, 10 Jul 2007 04:17:00 GMT |
WE SAW WILLOWS |
These trees don't know
Your Italian sky
These trees know me
And know my eye
Their beauty, full
Their greens alive
With hardiness
The good survive
We saw willows
In the south
Weeping with
