I wrote this poem a couple of years ago and posted it on Helium, I then forgot all about it till I was sorting through my old reviews, so I thought I would pop it on here. My Boy. What do I see... more

    It was 28th June, 1987 at 7-30 PM when I reached Thrissur, my home town in my native state of Kerala in India, hearing that my mother was seriously ill and was admitted to a hospital. I had to fly from Dubai the previous night via Kuwait and Goa, rather than by a direct flight to my state capital. When I reached the hospital, it was too late and she had passed away, just ten minutes prior to my arrival at the hospital. I looked at her motionless body. The earth seemed to stop and the whole world ripped apart in front of me. Those eyes would never look at me again, those lips would never smile ... more

    Advantages Advantages A Christmas poem for Ciao members

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Sorry if I have not included you all

    Hello COT, do some of you remember Miss American Pie by Don MClean? This is my Christmas tribute to you all in festive vein. Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house Not a Snowbunni was stirring, not even a mouse. The stockings were hung by Mrsmopples with care, In hopes that St Loopymum soon would be there. Terry and Art were nestled all snug in their beds, While idioms and identity crises played hell with their heads. And Jackyann with her parrot, and Ian in with his Zippo, Had just settled their brains for a long winter's kippo. When out on the lawn there arose such a ... more

    Been racking my brains whether to publish this but my Bro said that he would like me too. His son, my oldest Nephew, died at the age of 18 after a car accident, early December 2006. We are all finding it very difficult to get back into the swing of being more than just ghosts of our former selves. For you 'blue' and your Father. SAPPHIRES When you arrived on this cold world Your eyes were open from the first They were a sparkling Sapphire blue Too beautiful for this earth We'd tuck you into bed at night And hold your tiny hand so tight You'd cuddle up to your Loy Loy bear And get a great big ... more

    I have spent a couple of weeks now getting used to this site and have written a couple of reviews based on my collection of girly films and cheesy pop music! However, I noticed that many people had written creative writing type pieces that were not reviewing products and I toyed with the idea of submitting one of my poems for several days as I hate people reading my work (it's not so good!) but in the end I have decided to go for it (I'm still not sure, however, whether I will end up clicking on "Publish"!) I thought I would submit this poem that I wrote a while ago after seeing a news story ... more

    All because of you is about coping with death and other things that aren’t so rosy in life. At the end is who it is dedicated to and why. I hope that you read on in this poem and enjoy! Thank you for your time. I saw you lying there, Lying helpless in front of me, With tubes coming out of you, Coming out and going back in. You had always been there to hold my hand, Hold my hand when things got tough, But now you’re just going, Going somewhere I can’t ever reach you, I no longer know you. You came home for father’s day, Father’s day was the last, The last day that I’ll ever see you again, The ... more
