Jeff
finds it difficult to write a poem
when the first line is just one word.
He wishes the poster above would stop it,
but I'm just wondering:
Who the hell is Jeff?

Who the hell is Jeff?
You said it
Loud and clear

And I agree

A one word
end

for a poem

repeated inevitably

Is

Shoud not, need not,

be repeated endlessly.

Yet it has been, for quite some time

Andrew, thank you

Hopefully this banality will decline

And we shall return to inspiring poetry
from graceull last lines

Am outta here
Didn't even know I was in

Before I go
I'll grab your chin
Give it a tug
It stretches your mug

Makes you look so comic
I'll give you a hug
Just so you know
You're not a useless thug

Got something more fricking random!!

Im surprised... hey do I still have the most forum post on here?

Really?

Neither of you are in the least concerned that the first profile in this is that of a dearly loved DECEASED member of Stories Space, none other than Alan, aka DirtyMartini?

You guys should watch Cheo-yong on netflix

Why? And who or what is Cheo-yong?

Oh and netflix I don't have anyway.

So, what's it all about?

thnkx

All
Or nothing -
That's not really a choice

So calm down, back off,
Negotiate already
Before it's too late.

Don't let the morons in charge
Lay the world to waste.

I'm not around much... and probably could get an argument that it's still too often ...

Opposite, actually, and I'm glad to see you drop in here.

Just found this delightful story. Only problem the link is wrong on the first post. It's really:

BTW It has 2,376 views now.

Thank you for pointing that out, James, and posting the correct link. I've now edited the first post so the link is working again.

I recommend everyone read it. It's just exquisite, my friend. <img src="/images/emoticons/icon_flower.gif" alt="flower">

Come with me, come here, We'll fly away soon, Give me your hand, And a hug Then settle on my rug Hang on tight, tuck arms and legs in, Are you ready to take off? Let's go for a spin! The altitude's no problem, We've plenty of air, As you will soon know by the wind in your hair. We'll swoop and soar Above earth and its cares - - Tedious, boring, Gloomy and drear! - Before landing quite...

“You don’t have to do this, you know. In fact, you shouldn’t be doing it.” “Yes, I know, but it’s all right, I’m going to do it.” “I really don’t think you should, and would prefer you didn’t.” “I’m still going to do it, it’s the least I can do for you. You shouldered me as a burden often enough, in the past.” “That was different, you weren’t old enough or big enough, and needed to...

Chances, Taken without regret, Embraced, Without hesitation or doubt Like that time When you dove Into an ice cold lake Not on a dare But because it was there And to do so affirmed that you existed Those chances, No regrets, As you sank Stunned with shock by the bone chilling reality of the water - So cold So clear So intransigent yet so welcoming, Heart pounding, Adrenalin coursing,...

I make my point by tossing him out a window, He'd been warned when he entered the room, "You found your way in, you can find it back out, And if it isn't done quickly, From me you'll get a good clout." I repeated my warning twice over, Was he hard of hearing or just buzzing about? At any rate my threat was put into action, With a fly swatter I rubbed his life out. * Author's note: I have...

So here I am waiting, And biding my time, For a shipment that was Ordered From a store that's on-line. Their products are alluring, Like snacks to consume, The virtual basket's expanding There is always more room For specialty items, Things new to the store, Best deals of the day, And more, so much more! I wasn't enticed - Well, maybe some of the time - But the items I needed Remained...

Look by the door, A row of hooks Hung with keys - Basement, attic, car All are useful If you please But one sits alone No door does it claim That door is long gone And all that remains Is the key That unlocked its dreams....

International Women's Day A day that means a great deal to me. It leaves me serious, reflective, thinking about the women who have influenced and formed me, those I know, those I have never met. Among those I know, my mother, grandmothers, and their lives - It is not for me to speak in their names, I can only be witness to who they were, Honour them, Acknowledge them, Carry...

Preamble - friends of mine have a lovely and lovingly cared for vintage car, a Ford Gran Torino. It's taken out by them on special occasions, but for a recent such event, the Torino was left at home, as there was no secure parking available at the venue they attended. Instead, they drove a large vehicle of recent make. This inspired the following: The Torino’s Lament or: ...
