By Heart 4 poetry on February 2, 2010
The dark is too bright
and I’m falling awake.
My pencil won’t write
and this paper is fake.
This cactus is soft
and my fur coat is rough.
I love doing homework
and can’t get enough.
I hate to win
and love to lose.
I hate exciting games
and love boring news.
Spiders are my friends,
butterflies, my foes.
I know it all sounds strange,
but that is how it [...]

(1)My first Blue Mountains journeys were on Sydney’s country trains,
With scenery improving, once I’d gone past Emu Plains.
I did not know the passengers around me, but perhaps one
Might care to play a card game, since we’d only come to Lapstone
(2)I closed my vintage fiction novel fast. So I could then look,
To see surrounding bushland, as [...]

I was well prepared to build my house on firm foundation rock.
I had gathered each material and every building block.
I’d seen many things, that life could be whilst imitating art.
I could cull the very best of these in each component part.
I’d explored all possibilities, and worked out all the rules,
As I stood beside the ocean, [...]

The excitement mounts as the megadrive loads,
“That’s him! I can see him! Right there!”
Now all the people are screaming and shouting
At the guy with long blue hair.
So, who is this babe?
This iconic beauty?
He’s a video-game prince,
Sonic Hedgehog by name.
He leads a heavenly life,
Desired and lusted by millions,
You would have guessed it,
Since he is perfection.
Is it [...]

The first four lines were written by Sam Foss
The woods are made for Hunters of Dreams-
And the brooks for Fishers of song-
To the Hunters who hunt for this GUNLESS GAME
The streams and the woods belong.
How the tress sang, when I was a lad-
Under the twilight sky!
And you will find you will never grow old
IF YOU [...]

Present Day
It was the first Monday in weeks when I was not in office before ten. As I saw the frosted sundial of my old citizen ticking eleven thirty, I cursed myself for the umpteenth time for choosing that insurance company. I found out that the other companies did not require so many tests after [...]

ould you accept they shot to a pregnant woman?
Do you seem better that first she would give birth and then kill her?
It would seem to you compassionate that the jailer adopted the creature?
If it wins you love to justice do not read on, you have things to do.
Would you support that somebody denounced the situation [...]

“Look at this ink-blot and what do you see?”
“Men in white jackets are coming for me.”
“Some see a rainbow and some see a ring,”
“God only knows, I don’t see a damn thing.”
“Look a bit closer and what can you tell?”
“Lock me up quick ’cause I think I’m in Hell.”
“There is a story or there is [...]

On rugged mountain roads we drove,
And over shaky bridges,
Through valleys deep and rivers wide,
And over dangerous ridges.
We forded rivers, climbed the slopes,
Through tunnels we did crawl,
We drove on through the rough terrain,
And really had a ball.
Adventurers are what we were,
And danger was the game,
And ever since those wilder days,
I’ve never been the same.
Though I am [...]

All are the same; just they are same
They look identical, look like machines
All play same game; with the same name
Mix of connatural talks, and the same means
All are the same; they are so tame
They go through same street, achieve same goal
All to snatch the money; money is no shame…
Inconvertible thoughts and coveted souls
All [...]
