Community Poem September 2024

The clitoris of a mature woman can be a word or compilation, the path chosen and choices she made determine what she wants to write.

Oh, fuck a duck
The lobster laughed.
I butchered my poem
And then it changed colour and fell off
and they never grow back properly

You outrageous bastards
I hope I’m not just an open micer to you guys,
but also a subject for your next confused wet dream
I wish I were a fairy
This too will pass


A hot water urn full of lukewarm piss. Disappointing on both counts
For someone who heard so little he deduced so much
Wait where is this all going?
Something stupid, something like… Turbo island glitter ball
Fill your guts with star shaped Hernia Discopline stick

Like a moth to a flame Eve was not the only one tempted
where there’s smoke there’s fire. And it all fades away
I despise the man, the father I envy. You had the life I wanted.
Train-wreck into the blue, never thought I’d be here without you
Does the middle brick in the tunnel know about the light?

Live, laugh, triangulate
barking dogs don’t bite
I dream of love. Now love dreams of me
I’m doing a good job reading this on stage.
I am brave. Give me applause please.

Community poem July 2024

Love is a poet’s omelette
hidden beneath trench coats
and full brim fedoras.

We’re going to get you
Out of here, all right?
I give myself to you

Nice to meet you… Again!
Are the voices louder to drown
Out the internal monologue

Enough of this silly posturing
I wanted it to be smoothed down…

I reversed my anger into the space
I’m tired of asking why It
stinks of oil here.

A pointless pen.
They used to use black slugs
As carriage wheel lube.

There is an eyelash somewhere
that carries a wish…
Unhand me, you oaf!

Old Books, new poems and J not I,
Weaving Kayaks, Mountains, trees
and histories into a fabric of words!

July’s poem should have
been called Helen High-water…
