Eat Your GreensAt your soirée, beneath the trees  you served those funny canapés  of broccoli and garden peas  asparagus and salsify  in creme de menthe at double strength  and garnished thick with cabbage fly.  At breakfast now sweet baby leeks  pea green and will for days and weeks.

Inclement WeatherIt was a butchered day in April, the day you were born, beneath  a sky of bloody swabs and bruises limping in from the East, I remember it  as being a cold stone baptismal day your mother screamed you into, the pain  bunching her face and your father’s fists white-knuckled and tattooed blue  loose at his side as he paced the ground and stamped  but the earth would not swallow.   
On your fourth birthday they gave you a kite, and the gusts  the first time you flew it ripped it from your hand  and pinned it to the twigs (bare and cauldron-harsh they were) of a creaking lime  its lopsided ta Inclement Weather

No Hawkers PleaseShe can't abide hawkers, my mother-in-law,  so she's placed a stern notice upon her front door  that states bold and bluntly to visitors who call:  "No Salesmen, no Hucksters, no Peddlers at all!"   
Neatly coiffured, and on their best behaviour,  young men clutching brochures about Jesus - Our Saviour;  old gypsy grandmas selling posies of flowers  that they swear, through cracked teeth, possess curative powers   
These things make her cross, but there's something that irks her more:  when her front door won't open up because of the circulars  shoved through her letterbox by a bored No Hawkers Please

A new account for April

Mon Mar 30, 2009, 2:26 PM
I'll be operating out of another account for the duration of Poetry Writing Month, in order to find a fresh perspective and to try a few new ideas. There will be less comedy, excepting the unintentional kind, less rhyme and less fixed metre. Imagine me riding my bicycle with the stabilisers removed - expect many a lurch and wobble, and sudden changes of direction.

I will be looking to pay more attention to what others are writing, and will be open to watching some new people, especially those engaging in the same April odyssey, and will be trying harder to comment constructively on a more regular basis. If you're engaging on the NaPoWriMo, please let me know, or if you would like to recommend to me people you think I ought to follow, please send me their names/links to their accounts. Those people who I converse with frequently here I will link to from ~ivre so as to stay in touch.

If you'd like to see how I get on, I would be happy to see you here:

"Lawrence loved his snug fitting, titanium white pants. They were, he supposed, the tightest, whitest pants in the town, perhaps even the world. The way they clung to the thin stalks of his legs, so close to his skin that his leg-hairs made bumps in the material, made him wish he had been born with bone white denim rather than shy pink tissue. He wore them constantly, no matter what the occasion. Family dinners, school balls, he had even worn them to his great Aunt's funeral. In fact, the only time he ever took his tight, white pants off (a complicated process involving a stanley knife and a surgeon's steady hand) was to coax another pair on."

2,000 words down, probably another 2,000 to go. (:

I am so glad you were featured today, not only because it restores my faith in our GD's, (whose selections have not always been so inspired, I fear), but also because it brought your poetry to my attention. I shall have to keep an eye on your page, and steal the occasional moment from my job to comment.
