Inocence Lost
Once she had ideals.
Now her fate she seals
In late night deals
And slip-off heels

On this Day I Complete my Thirty-Sixth Year
‘Tis time this heart should be unmoved,
Since others it hath ceased to move:
Yet though I cannot be beloved,
Still let me love!
My days are in the yellow leaf;
The flowers and fruits of Love are gone;
The worm, the canker, and the grief
Are mine alone!

There was a young author named Hurn
There was a young author named Hurn
Who lived in a place called Pitcairn.
He wrote about a girl he knew,
Which one aught not to do!
So they drummed him out of Pitcairn!
There was a young man called Mcqueen

Who was part of a certain scene.
He wrote a book,
At which I refuse to look,

The extraordinary

And his expense
Is a ticket to stations:
Anticipation,
Vanishing Expectation,
And their final destination … Despair

Launch Day! The Vanishing Lord by Lucy Brazier
Lucy Brazier
Today is the day that one of my oldest and bestest blog buddies, Lucy Brazier, publishes the second book in her PorterGirl series, so I invited her along to answer some tough, penetrating questions that I think will help us to get deep inside her weird and wonderful mind. But first, a little about the books…
In real life, when Lucy became the first female Deputy Head Porter at one of Britain’s most ancient and prestigiou...
A Couple Things
On Monday, I read a post in which the words “a couple things” appeared several times. The post was well written and I agreed with many of the points made by it’s author. However those few words “a couple things” set my teeth on edge. Surely the correct way to demonstrate that one is speaking of several things as opposed to a single object is to say “a couple of things” rather than “a couple things”? Apart from “a couple things” being grammatically incorrect, it strikes me as being somewhat la...
Summer Is
Summer is stinging bees
And flies on the cheese
That mother put out,
(Oh hear her shout)!
Summer is a gentle breeze
That ruffles the skirts
Of girls who tease
And flirt.
Summer is too much wine
And crossing a line
Though (at the time)
This seemed perfectly fine …

Dust
I drink
My wine and think
On bed,
Fertile wombs,
And tombs,
Where sleep the dead
