Bobo

Sorry guys - ignore if you've read this already under the user name DJ...I've eventually managed to become a full member after some problems with PayPal ( hooray! ) and so am reloading all my work so far...both under Bobo and also DJ...are you confused yet??? 

About differing agendas...a dangerous situation 

Another ode to my nearly-33-year-old 'cuddly' toy ( once a snoopy-style dog, but now a degenerating mass of rags - still beautiful to me ). I cried rather a lot while writing this. :0( 

About a good friend of mine. 

This needs help...any suggestions on how to end it would be appreciated. 

Edited version of a short I posted a while ago. Comments welcomed. 

I've just rattled this one off - not even read it back to myself at this stage as am a bit sick of sitting here now...would love any feedback. 

Not sure this will mean anything to anyone. 

A few cheery lines about someone I met while running a London bar... 

Written in the first person but actually about the smug up-their-own-arses type I despise. 

A few lines about my dad. 

Farmor is Swedish for grandmother ( mother of father ) and this is a small piece about my partner's 93 year old Farmor who's not well. 

A silly bit of rhyme... 

Revisited this poem and made some changes.... 

Am I the only one who has such an appalling love-life??? 

Nell and Steph have already commented on this but am hoping to get some constructive criticism from some of the guys. Sorry to be cheeky by posting this again!!! 

Autobiographical. Wrote this when I was about 22 and edited it a few days ago...10 years later! 

Can we ever be friends with ex-lovers? Not straightforwardly, methinks! Too much baggage. 

About a guy... 

Why-oh-why do I dream about people who I'd much prefer to forget?! 

Maudlin ramblings from the miserable woman... 

As in life, I find long menu's offer too many choices. Am I alone? 

A few lines about moving-on from my marriage. 

The opening of a piece about getting together with my fiance - all feedback most welcome, as I'm loathe to go any further with it if it's not up-to-scratch. Cheers. 

Inspired by a job I did at University before gravity started to take its toll on my droopy bits! Would really really appreciate feedback. xxx 

Written in the first person but more a comment on others' relationships...possibly a tad judgemental & cruel! 

In response to Fearless' earlier piece in which he touched upon what it is to fall in love with somebody far removed from your 'ideal'...this is a tad twee, so I apologise in advance. 

OK, I 'fess up - I'm 32 and I still sleep with a toy I've had since I was 6 months old... 

...hopefully taken in the jovial spirit it's meant! 

Another bit of Anorexic rambling... 

Think this might be crap - undecided. 

Sometimes it can feel as though the expectations of others are too much of a burden... 

I've just written this after a very weird night - having read it back to myself it makes no sense, but thought I'd submit it and hope for feedback. ;0) 

Anyone else been listening to the White Stripes' last album?! 

Again, if you've read this already I apologise...having finally achieved full member status I'm reloading all my work.... 

Something of a rambling... 

The ugly face of an eating disorder bubbles to the surface once more... 

A poem about Anorexia... 

Bah, Humbug... 

A little bit of catharsis about someone I'm not very fond of! Better out than in... 

Sorry - another morose rambling from the mind of an anorexic ( cured, kind of ). 

Riddled with spelling mistakes... 

Sex, Lies, and Confusion. 

...a few lines about a great bloke I know. 

About an old friend... 

About a guy I work with. Paradoxical and beguiling. 

Any feedback appreciated guys. 

For Andy...
