comment on my writing

I recently submitted a poem to a poetry site hoping that I would get some constructive feedback or (fingers crossed) win a prize.
Some time later I received an e mail rejecting the poem and I quote

'try to choose a recognised style'
'read some of our poets and look at how they use verse'

I was a little hurt but I know that poetry is a very individual thing.

I then submitted a second poem and today I received an e mail announcing that I had won an award! I felt so excited.

Opened the e mail and found that my 'win' entitles me to purchase an award pin, a plaque and a watch in recognition of my achievement.

a dark 55

The night is my friend
I embrace the velvet darkness
my cohort
my guardian in all my deeds

Dawn sees me hide
quaking
becoming small
unsure
my eyes burned by visions of reality

Weeping
shaking
I wait for dusk
welcoming my friend
cautiously at first
peeping through slitted eyes

In darkness
I need not see

an apology

due to a technical hitch it is possible that extracts of my very private dream\fantasy world diary may have been published on here. If you should see any such blogging please be assured that it in no way reflects reality and that the toad is not changing his warts

sex in the swamp

I am getting tired of being a sex symbol. Ok, at first it was fun, what guy wouldn't want the attention of a bevy of hot women and there are advantages to being able to get anything you desire just by slightly raising an eyebrow and flashing that winning smile but I am more than a collection of body parts (no matter how well crafted and sizable they may be). I long to talk to a woman without her undressing me with her eyes, I wait eagerly for the day that I can get into a lift with an attractive woman and not have to promise her minor sexual favours in order to stop her jamming the mechanism between floors with a well placed stilletto.

pocket lint

I suddenly find that it has become vitally important that I investigate pocket lint so please help me by answering my poll ------------>

future in depth investigations will include toe nail clipping sculpture and the development of symphonic dual tone belching as an alternative to musical ring tones

My blogging word is waking

It has truly been a cold and frosty time around my blogging world and I have been finding it difficult to motivate myself.

yesterday I had a chat with a wonderful friend who I haven't managed to spend time with for ages and today, venturing into blogdom at a different time to my normal time, I chatted with someone who I have never had a chance to chat with before but whom I admire as a blogger and as a person.

All in all my blog spring is arriving and I think this crusty old face might crack a smile :)
