Currently working on uploaded to keep it on my radar. Yes I know it needs spell check and grammar major... 

I guess it took 45 minutes though I used a small part of another poem I had dropped in the bottom of the filing cabinet...(never going to be as flash as everyone else). The Form is all over the place...will work on it 

This is about an event I witnessed; I had no control over it and was very disturbed by it 

I chose To finer, finer veins. I don't think anyone has this yet. I am on 233 words but working on it. I am hoping to comment on everyones work today. I know I have not contributed for ages (work...).I hope I did the exercise correctly? 

A villanelle I just wrote for the online class I am participating in. It has a strict form as given by the teacher. Its a first and second and third draft! There is a reference to "Wild Geese" by Mary Oliver. renamed third time for fun 

A poem in the form "Cascade" that I wrote for an online class I am taking. Its a firstish draft. (cheated a bit on the penultimate stanza) 

A Sijo I wrote (quite quickly ) for an online class I am participating in 

Changing this one still, firstish draft, though re-worked it a bit. Crits welcome! 

my quick magnetic exercise. I will attempt another 

A piece I am working on. Sometime ago a scientist was unhappily relating a story of how a group of biologists he knew needed to chop up an octopus for their experiments. However this octopus was very friendly and they had him long enough to form a bond. They would have to kill him by dropping him into nitrogen liquid. Not one of them wanted to kill the octopus so they decided to draw straws, the person who selected the shortest straw got the grim job.... 

Hi everyone been away will read everyones stuff shortly. Posted this up to keep my hand in..firstish draft. The form was influenced by some work from the brilliant poetress Dorothy Molloy especially "Conversation Class" (thanks Nell for remembering her name for me) 

I know I am behind here is my Mark Doty offshoot, kinda at a tangent though. Yes it is based on a real event.. 

firstish draft. Appreciate your critiques 

firstish draft, comments welcome! 

First draft from my online class I am taking part in, comments welcome! (I know its a bit silly) 

POsted this into this group. I am a bit tied up this week...I Read Roovacrags poem Kaleidoscope last week and remembered a poem I wrote a while ago with the same title (called it different title on the title page)!So inspired by RVGs lovely piece, I though I would post it. Its an old one, comments welcome! It has been published (only by forwardpress) 

Something I wrote a while ago. 

playing around with this one still
