HAIL HORUS; VANQUISHER OF ABOMINATIONS
· The Torture The Tortured and The Torturer Poetry (by artisus)
-
· A Bovine Footprint Poetry (by Ionicus)
Bradene's Poetry Workshop Challenge 8.09.2008
· The Road to Barnsley (by Bradene)
My challenge entry, the subject , environmental issues. My poem tracks a journey traveled on a particular route, taken many times and no matter how often I take it, it always has the power to sadden me.
· Elvis the Dragon Slayer Prose (by glennie)
My sister told me a joke called Elfin the Dragon slayer and I thought it would make a great story.
· Blasphemy Poetry (by Lark)
A poem about Blasphemy (as the title suggests) and God.
· The Meaning of Life Poetry (by orangedream)
Douglas Adams says it's number forty-two.
· The Bulgari Connection Prose (by Doughnut)
In the Bulgarian spa resort the passion in the gypsy band's music finds an unexpected echo in Millena's heart.
· The weight of age Poetry (by AlexClay)
Think Neneh Cherry
· dX1-2079 Poetry (by artisus)
-
· The Sanctity Of Now Poetry (by Mandrake)
This wasn't written to fit the 'environment' theme. It's more about the pollution of mental landscapes and comes from my frustration with writers who refuse to edit their work because it would be unfaithful to the spirit of the creative moment.
· If I tell you that I love you, will you forgive me? Prose (by Threadbear)
Another Carver imitation. Prudish male with a shrewish wife avoids being drawn into an open relationship with another couple
· Cause for ConCern? Poetry (by barenib)
Written very quickly today after reading about CERN's experiment that will take place on Wednesday that some fear will go horribly wrong. The poem isn't scientifically correct, and it doesn't quite rhyme and scan properly, but I did manage to get 'Hadron Collider' and 'Higgs Boson' in, which I think is a reasonable feat :-) If you want to know more about the experiment, I suggest you find out before Wednesday....
· skyscrapers do not touch Poetry (by Eccles)
Inspire by a quote from Louise Bourgeois I saw at the Guggenheim: "Skyscrapers reflect the human condition. They do not touch."
· Credere Poetry (by artisus)
-
· My First Kiss Poetry (by Ionicus)
...it happened unexpectedly inside the garden shed.
· On The Town (by Bradene)
Inspired by a multiple stabbing incident in Leicester this week. The perpetrator? A drunken young Woman
· The Neighbour Prose (by Seebaruk)
Familiar subject matter but I had to tackle it, after coming up with the initial premise. A shut-in is hounded by the constant barrage of old songs from the flat next door, slowly becoming obsessed to the point of insanity... A dark tale with some bad language. Sorry about the lack of originality, but hopefully will make for an entertaining read!
· Passing Trains Poetry (by woodbine)
Illicit love casts a long shadow on a young man. Edited September 6th 08
· FELIDAE FELINITY Poetry (by kulabula)
(For Nikeboots, Blackie and Tabby)
· Mystery Man Prose (by johnshade)

A ritual for the sacrifice begins, but will Nessa get to her niece in time?
· For Old Times' Sake Poetry (by Ionicus)
A chance encounter.
· My friend Ben Poetry (by Lark)
This is a short poem about my friend Ben.
· Wherever I lay my hat Prose (by TheGeeza)
This is in memory of someone I used to know, although it is fiction. I hope he's okay. 1,940 words.
· ''And Each Slow Dusk a Drawing down of Blinds'' Poetry (by Corin)
THis time of year and this kind of weather always make me recite Keats's Ode `To Autumn' in my head. It is a much sadder poem than it seems, for Keats - a qualified doctor - knew he was dying of consumption (TB) and was unlikely to live to see another Autumn and so it proved to be. The title comes from Wifrid Owen's 'Anthem for Doomed Youth'
· Erasing Your Name Poetry (by discopants)
Fresh off the keyboard...
· Another Man's Treasure Poetry (by orangedream)
An inside-out kind of home, with river frontage.
· You always remember your first love. Poetry (by Lark)
I was set the task of writing a poem and when asking a friend for inspiration they said I should write one about this, evidently I have although my mind has someone warped it.
· More Haste Less Speed Poetry (by Corin)
Aunt Dainy (real name Annie Le Dain) was not a real aunt but in fact my father's nanny. She looked after him and 4 siblings after her mother died. My Grandfather Captain Turner was a friend of her father Captain Le Dain a Jersey port pilot. When her mother died she came to work for the Turners as a nanny. Passed on to different generations for many years. A few years after my father died in 1950 she came to help my mother bring us up - so I was raised by two women! Just like a lesbian family! She was bright as a button and fit and healthy well into her nineties only suffering dementia at the very end when she died aged 101.
· Sandalwood Pyre Poetry (by Corin)
BBC News 21st May 1991: Bomb kills India's leader Rajiv Gandhi Rajiv Gandhi, the 46-year-old former Indian prime minister, has been assassinated. He was campaigning for the Congress Party on the second day of voting in the world's largest democratic election when a powerful bomb, hidden in a basket of flowers, exploded killing him instantly. Hindu cremation is supposed to be necessary in order to free the soul from its bodily prison.
· Toad Watching - with apologies to Philip Larkin Poetry (by Corin)
Another old poem from a period of unemployment - the Larkin reference is to two poems of his - 'Toads' and 'Toads Revisited' particularly the second which gives an opposite view to my poem.:- http://www.cs.rice.edu/~ssiyer/minstrels/poems/544.html http://plagiarist.com/poetry/4886/
· Forget-them-not Poetry (by orangedream)
For Gallipoli they leave at dawn.
· Did you write that? Poetry (by woodbine)
The title is courtesy of the workman looking over my shoulder in the local cafe. "It's very good," he reassured me. And this after five years with never a word from anyone. They can't take this away from me.
· Kaela (Chapter 13: Part 2) Prose (by jagged66)
Part 2 of 2 for this chapter. Now Kaela has been transported to a different place, where she becomes the only thing that Jamie needs to complete his salvation. I have spaced out the paragraphs for easier reading.
· Hamelin, PA Prose (by Harry)
“Dan, is there any truth to the rumor that you have a way with the weather?”
· diddley dum Poetry (by Mandrake)
For younger readers, it's the noise that trains used to make.
· We are not trees Poetry (by barenib)
Dedicated to Attila the Stockbroker
· White Satin Shoes Poetry (by orangedream)
Haven't we all been here?
· Cat on Lap Poetry (by Corin)
The Naming of Cats is a difficult matter, It isn't just one of your holiday games; You may think at first I'm as mad as a hatter When I tell you, a cat must have THREE DIFFERENT NAMES. First of all, there's the name that the family use daily, But I tell you, a cat needs a name that's particular, A name that's peculiar, and more dignified, Else how can he keep up his tail perpendicular, Or spread out his whiskers, or cherish his pride? Of names of this kind, I can give you a quorum, Such as Munkustrap, Quaxo, or Coricopat, Such as Bombalurina, or else Jellylorum - Names that never belong to more than one cat. But above and beyond there's still one name left over, And that is the name that you never will guess; The name that no human research can discover - But THE CAT HIMSELF KNOWS, and will never confess. From T S Eliot's 'Old Possum's Bool of Practical Cats' So my new kitten will be called Carrie, Charonferrycat and ???????????? Kitten arrives on 25th September for Crab the Dog's Birthday present!
· Aurora Borealis Poetry (by Zoya)
Northern Lights or the Aurora Borealis fascinate me greatly...
· Howlers. (by RoyBateman)
You couldn't make 'em up - but, luckily, you don't need to!
· Nothing Between Us Poetry (by discopants)
.
· Rekindled Part One Prose (by Jen_Christabel)
A 'rabbit' is a wonderful creation...Part Two next Friday
· The Many Antonyms of Sobriety Poetry (by artisus)
1. bad tripping
· A Very British Summer (by ChrisParsons)
There's been a strange mood in the air this summer, a real climate of uncertainty. Could things have been any worse? Well yes; it could have been 1996.
· Two Lines Short Of A Sonnet Poetry (by CVaughan)
At home with Shakespeare
· Tabula Rasa Poetry (by Jolen)
My Answer to a question... tabula rasa |ˈtabjʊlə ˈrɑːzə| Absence of pretermined goals; a clean slate : the team did not have complete freedom and a tabula rasa from which to work. • the human mind, esp. at birth, viewed as having no innate ideas. ORIGIN Latin, literally ‘scraped tablet,’ denoting a tablet with the writing erased.
· Invisible Tracks Poetry (by SugarMama34)
This was inspired by a photograph that I seen on the internet - A silhouette of a man shouting and a young child sitting in the corner covering her ears and crying.
