20:27 Rain and time are nature’s weapons, nurturing life outside your human structure. A well- tended garden drowns in a jungle, crawling closer to your domain. The house cries out as weeds and trees grow, piercing and merging into its brick body. Misaligned tiles sneak water from above. Damaged ceilings drip, drip, drip onto dampContinue reading “Nature vs Structure”

Structure of Man
20:26 A new person holds the used key, ready to enter the man-made structure, built with another’s memories and dreams. The door sticks a little, unlocking with a special jiggle few know. Its voice is silent, forgotten from disuse, but the walls still hold evidence of its hidden personality. Words are written on its core,Continue reading “Structure of Man”
Rambling
I’ve finished two more poems for competitions today (which I won’t post here until after the results have been announced, just in case). It struck me so powerfully, as I was writing them, how much I’ve missed this. For about four years I haven’t been able to write much, and I don’t think I realisedContinue reading “Rambling”

20:24 Lists, words, structure and form. Drink me in and pour your soul forward, mixing with ink and immortalizing onto the page. 20:25 I’m only visible in the biting cold, yet I’m the reason you can think, can live.

20:19 Secret mission, excitement and anxiety, anticipation and dread, longing for it to be over, done, so you can breathe the sweet air of freedom again. Will the outcome make you light, and turn towards the future? Or will it weigh you down, trapping you in the moment forever?
Poem idea

Rambling/poem start
20:17 Observations and calculations, theories and controlled experiments There are two poetry competitions with a 31st January deadline, so I’m hoping to browse through the poem ideas I’ve had so far and compose at least two full, complete poems to enter. There’s the Kent and Sussex Poetry Society Open Poetry Competition http://www.kentandsussexpoetry.com. And there’s TheContinue reading “Rambling/poem start”
Poem ideas
20:15 Procrastinate against yourself, distracted with different hobbies from what your soul needs. Can you even recognise the beat of your own heart? Buried beneath the mundane of everyday life. 20:16 Fantasy of murder to gain some peace and quiet. How would I do it? A staged accident, an impersonal poison a long-distance weapon, orContinue reading “Poem ideas”

20:13 This is the first day of your life. This is your home, car and money. This is your loved ones, enemies, dreams. Here is your job, hope and ambition. Look at how lucky you are, and remember that. This is the first day of your life, no time to dwell on what you don’tContinue reading “Poem ideas”
