Hello and welcome to Poetry Night by me, your host, TooFullToWrite.
This really is the best job in the world.
Well that and this:-
You and me Scott – let’s make that Petting Zoo happen!
And now for the poem – hope you enjoy it and comments are always welcome.
Let’s Call It a Day (by David Ellis)
Taking bold risks on some bad eggs
Finding yourself back on the shelf
And now you’re fighting below the belt
Digitized, dangerously displayed
Ornamentally organised but caged
Fragments of antiquated truth still remain
Settling into a motley groove
Nothing left to prove, pursue
No choice left but to let yourself cut loose
Cogs turn through this wizened life
The way the wheel turns is divine
Water spilled as precious as if it were wine
Dilated, pupated anachronisms
Syrupy, serendipitous dreams
From page to mouth via expressionism
Dulled senses, potent sedative
Censored, rough edges edited
Picturesque, a suitably macabre postcard
Controversial decisions
Sensations or experience
Balance your brilliance, distil your essence
Holding firm, resolute or absolute
Entropy can’t be the only route
A paradoxical farce with but one use
Play the game, find the clues
Intrepid explorers on the move
Intimidated by a Machiavellian world
Why not keep all things simple
Refrain from becoming medieval
Engineering engorgement on general principle
Concordant conjecture
Dominates social media
Until we’re all courting disaster
Convenient or expedient
A lover’s incorrigible lament
The future harshly judging the present
So we navigate with a swing
Shadows cast, a bell rings
Exotic yet disintegrating
Linear right from the beginning

Love Austin Powers. Great poem!
Thanks Becca – very kind of you to read it and comment.
I miss not having any pets – one day I will have a whole menagerie of them in the future!
Still adoring both your stuff and Jason’s funny guest posts – will have to comment more myself when I have time.

Yep, we miss ya over there. I have two dogs and two fish tanks. My favorites in the fish tanks are the snail named speedy and a frog named hoppers who swims like the fishes.

Hahaha – nice one! I like to give value for money in my poems – even when they are free 🙂
not good with money part..it usually scares me..first..I don’t know why and second..money is always so..scary 😉

Thank you for your comments – very kind of you.
Glad you found the Horror Writing Tips useful – I try to find people giving advice on the internet and then round it all up here, so you can then visit their individual pages to find out more/gain more understanding about writing.
Feel free to come back anytime soon 🙂
thank you for your open invitation 🙂
happy new year -2013
Happy New Year to you too – have a great time tonight and best wishes for 2013.
Looking so forward to tomorrow – the shortest day of the year…
Then by small increments the day will lengthen.
Sometimes after running after a two year old – I’ll call it an afternoon!
The body may age but always, always young at heart.
Words are like pearls…they are meant to be strung… 🙂
What a lovely comment, such a nice poem, thank you!
I still need to work on my most recent post, need to give you all another poem, hope to get it out in a day or so.
Words can create a whole whorl of pearls that every boy and girl can appreciate at any age if they engage and let their minds unfurl!
