    the crowd is calm
    an ocean of black before the stage
    thousands of hands
    raised up towards the heavans
    steel strings
    drumheads tightened to breaking point
    the music blasts out
    the masses explode
    running and jumping
    the sharp sound
    of elbows cracking against eachother
    the dull thump
    of bodies smashing together to the beat of the bass
    noses are broken and jaws are cracked
    the crowd as a single organism ...

  3. Grendel

    by , 03-22-2009 at 12:11 PM (Reflections on the puddle of life)
    Having just finished reading John Gardner's very excellent Gredel (adapted from Beowulf) I felt inspired, unusually, to write a poem in the style of the dramatic monologue currently featuring in the form poetry contest. Not a winner (heck, firefangled's posted ) but the happiest I've been with a poem for a long while. Or rather the most I've been with a poem for a long while. If you fancy a go at the form poetry contest details of the current form are here: http://www.online-literature.com/for...&postcount=549 ...

  4. Prayer

    I am the healing medicine,
    I am the faith, I am the healed,
    I am the grieving heart,
    I am the empty heart,
    I am the heart filled.
    I am the confused,
    I am the enlightened,
    I am the nothing,
    I am the soul.
    I am the breath,
    I am the universe,
    I am the infinite,
    I am prayer.

  5. Black and White

    Black and White

    Frame me in black and white
    I wish to appear as a tattered curtain,
    pale; luminescent; drifting softly,
    always downward.

    Frame me in black and white
    with soft contrasts,
    a haunting stare,
    feeling some deep meaning,
    speaking from the past.

    Frame me in black and white
    an oval portrait from days long gone,
    frozen beyond years,
    a waiting ghost
    with a
