It's about, how I started enjoying to write http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Twilight1973/2924619/ In two parts, this poem ponders materialism; and what people should or do - yearn for in their lives... I just used Cali as a metaphor. Also, the song featuring Cali by LL Cool J; prompted me. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Twilight1973/2924374/ Winter chills,But Christmas thrills,To enjoy the frills,Embrace the ills,The ills of modern life,Cut like a knife,Be you single,Or be you with wife,Inflation and working,Insecurity always lurking,As you keep the wolf from the door,Surely life is for more?,Escape from th.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Twilight1973/2923983/ Cosmic chaos concealing so much,Infinity of darkness expanding,Whilst our mortal lives are grinding,Moments of starlight,Twinkle through the clouds,Just try to ignore,The throngs of noisy crowds,Mysterious cosmic forces,Within a universal dream,So much is not what it seems,.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Twilight1973/2923358/ This piece just reflects a healthy and positive way, to approach our objectives in life; whatever those aims might happen to be. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Twilight1973/2923357/ The black forest has two sides,Outwardly bleak, Yet with inner peace inside,Outwardly the trees seem bleak,With their thick weathered trunks,Seasoned by winter's chill,Blackened branches and brittle twigs,Poised above the dead forest floor of leaves,But there are eaves of tranqui.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Twilight1973/2923025/ A tale of a haunting, and with a message of moral warning.

It's slightly frivolous, and hopefully with meanings which you can relate to. Inspired too, by Poe's "The Raven". In 2 parts. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Twilight1973/2908183/ This piece is intended as a contemporary follow on poem, from Dark Places; a much older poem of mine. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Twilight1973/2907891/ The Wendigo was a mythical creature, in native american folklore; in tribes who lived in the northern USA. It was said to be cannibalistic, or drove people to become cannibals. But, a frivolous poem. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Twilight1973/2907890/ My raven-headed lady,If only she were mine,Her long black hair,Looking sleek and so divine,Stands her ground,When challenged by her peers,Seems to strut,Or does she?,What is it that she fears?,Rejection or despair?,Yes that might be so,Should I tell her,That I care?,.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Twilight1973/2907889/ This is written from the perspective of a certain historical figure, and links in with the ancient belief systems surrounding so called "transmigration of the soul". http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Twilight1973/2907395/ An erotic poem, in which a fictional woman let's go.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Twilight1973/2906635/ A playful juxtaposition of an external threat, from zombies vs. my own psychological angst. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Twilight1973/2906602/ The title should be self-explanatory. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Twilight1973/2906082/ Birds.

And, marking the return of Lady Lips! Enjoy. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Twilight1973/2905789/ I wrote this slightly mischievous piece, and admit that it promotes a cynical outlook; very spontaneously indeed. And yet, a realistic one too..? Make of it, what you will. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Twilight1973/2905788/ The meanings of this piece should be self-evident. Anyway, a spontaneous piece to mark my return. I write ✍️ short stories too.! Enjoy.

I now consider myself to be agnostic, but remain highly sympathetic to Christian values. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Twilight1973/651814/ This is a simple homage to my favourite film magazine. So far, I have not found a better one. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Twilight1973/651794/ The meanings in this poem should be clear to readers. If not, you are always perfectly welcome to ask for clarification. It is an indictment of modern society (based on my observations in the UK). http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Twilight1973/650585/ Although an exaggeration, this poem seeks to express the despondency and occasional awkwardness of many public servants and officials. Indeed, should we simply laugh or cry at their general attitude? http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Twilight1973/650582/ This Christian poem aims to clarify the benefits of sincere Christian faith, in terms of how an individual is strengthened and empowered to live a fuller life. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Twilight1973/647304/ Although this poem may seem rather extreme or severe in places, there are also words of hope and wisdom for Christians. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Twilight1973/647302/ This poem attempts to express my expectations of the cinematic experience.

(I did not specifically have London in mind). Also, it aims to make the reader think, of the contrast between presentation and reality. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Twilight1973/446147/ An example of "dark poetry", which also has a moral message... http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Twilight1973/436993/ A poem which is an "indictment" of various aspects of modern society. And, they seem to be getting worse.... http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Twilight1973/425487/ This charter was granted by King John of England, on June 15th 1215. In total, this historic document lists 63 liberties for the citizens of England. Perhaps, it is now time for Magna Carta 2.0? http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/Twilight1973/420628/ This poem is quite ambiguous in some respects, as I intended.
