My Writing

100 Words

Thursday, May 15th, 2008

I have decided to take a brief break from Thursday Thirteen this week. Instead I will be taking part in the Velvet Verbosity 100 Words. I’m quite enjoying spending time (even though it is comparatively little) coming up with my 100 words for the one word prompt.

If you are interested in participating either here, on your site, or on the Velvet Verbosity site, go here to check out the other entries for ‘Eden’ as well as details about 100 words.

Without further ado, here are my 100 words on ‘Want’.

Want. Need. Lust after. Desire.

Such delicious words for such an often unpleasant thing. Want. Everyone wants. That’s all they seem to do sometimes. Want a hand, your time, your opinion, your money, your space, your reference, your last piece of the death by chocolate cake.

All I want is some peace and quiet.

Maybe some time to relax as well. With a magazine and a bubble bath. Kiwi and apple scented bubble bath. And candles. A lot of scented candles around so I can read and relax. Enjoy.

That sounds nice.

So maybe want isn’t such an unpleasant thing.

I’m honestly not sure where my mind goes sometimes when I write these things. They are a lot of fun and don’t take a long time to do. Perhaps that is why I like them so much?

Give them a try. You might enjoy yourself.

Books, and CDs, and More, Oh My!

Saturday, August 25th, 2007

A while ago, I won a contest at DaveP’s Brit Music Scene.

Dave later contacted me to see if I would do a review of the CD. So if you’d like to see how I take to reviewing CDs or if you’re wondering about Prince’s Planet Earth CD, check out my review here.

Slam Poetry

Wednesday, August 15th, 2007

microphone1.jpgIn the Weekly Writing Challenge I said that if three people posted a poem, I would post one of my own. Well, here it is.

This is an example from my slam poetry folder. This kind of poetry is best performed, in my opinion, but can still be enjoyed in the written form. On a writing site I am a member of, someone started a slam poetry thread. This is the only one I have where I’m not slamming on members of that forum.

I hope you enjoy Next Customer, Please

This is for you, yes you,
the one I checked out,
the one I had doubt
of your so-called sanity
when you came to rant at me
‘bout them tappin’ your phone
bein’ all alone
with your empty vault
just like some wannabe
Al Capone.
When today’s not for share.
Not fair? Don’t care
‘bout your awful misery,
bringin’ up history
that I’m no part of.
This is no start of
some kind of friend thing
I’d rather have ending
of your twisted fantasy
tryin’ to take in me.

Next customer.
Please.
