1. VerseWrights - Home - Community of over 200 poets

    I’ve been writing online for nearly three years now, and some of you are quite aware of my plethora of pen names. I’m honoured to be a part of Verse Wrights hosted by the kind, Carl Sharpe.
    For a small collection of poetry written by myself and a reading of one of Carl’s poems you can head on over to Verse Wrights were this morning he featured a new piece of mine, Of Regret, Love & Forgiveness.

    Pls also peruse the other fine writers contributing there.
    Since Carl has kindly requested more writing, I will no doubt be contributing some new work there over the months to come.
    I know for a fact Carl is always taking submissions, so if you’re looking for more places to submit and be read, consider sending some pieces in.

  2. I lay my head upon the cold and sleeping ground, listening to its tussling dreams, letting the wind wail, cool & calming. Such green things lay, encased in the darkness of the earth, mumbling-rumbling, deep & dreary. I close my eyes—wander forward to touch this place, that now, gently sleeps.

  5. Allegedly, Americans & possibly all the planet don’t understand the intense love Canadians have for The Tragically Hip. It is really our long cold dark nights and needing to dance to rock songs to keep warm. Rock songs that speak to our harsh savage hearts filled with Northern Lights and snow and sharp sunlight and effervescent frost paisleys on our windows. Rich lyrics and raw guitar licks. If you were raised here, you’d get it. Yep. Canadia loves their Hip.

    The Tragically Hip - The Luxury

    Zoo Lion sobers up and starts to scream and shout
    A little dose of home-fire got him all smoothed out
    Melancholy wine-soaked tenderness
    She hated it here and she couldn’t care less

    Prisonyard stares and fleur-de-lis tattoos
    Cannibals are saving all their bones for soup
    Eating with my fingers and sucking hulls of ships
    My parasite don’t deserve no better than this

    The Golden Rim Motor Inn
    Soft water and colour TV
    So consumed with the shape I’m in
    Can’t enjoy the luxury

    She says,”Why are you partial to that Playboy con?
    When you can see me naked anytime you want?”
    If I had loads o’ mondy to make me tame and sour
    I could pay you to remind of my baby by the hour

    Zoo Lion sobers up and starts to scream and shout
    A little dose of home-fire got him all smoothed out
    If this is where it all starts getting good
    Then I’ll be here waiting for you, like I said I would

    The Golden Rim Motor Inn
    Soft water and a colour TV
    So consumed with the shape I’m in
    Can’t enjoy the luxury
    The Luxury
