Water? That's what all that snow is for. Iced drinks all 'round. Shaken, not stirred, and with a twist.

Love it Tidd. Crumbs indeed. Actually I think they're all chirping about what cold, seedy little dive I run here. It would be a step up from crumby.

My browser Dial has changed - it used to show a thumbnail of my page here, but has dynamically changed to show what looks like a thumbnail of the front (login) screen instead. So far, so expected after the settings were altered. So I clicked expect…

It does look so pathetic. But I'm sure no harm was done - I've seen film of big cats fishing!

Parky - DL Bach - Debbie replied to Morgue McMillan (Marie)'s discussion 'Mittelschmerz' in the group Just Poets
I felt the mass exodus of all the men running screaming from the room while reading this poem. I feel extremely inadequate to really comment on its contents (I believe any technical issues have already been addressed) as I am a woman whose mother d…

Parky - DL Bach - Debbie replied to Morgue McMillan (Marie)'s discussion 'no title' in the group Just Poets
Marie, This is great. You are right, no title is needed at all. It echos my own heart and I believe the title becomes what the readers sees in it and how he/she finds reflection as it can be many things to many people. Thank you for sharing it.

I've featured Medora Chevalier of the fantastic Four Bridges Sim on Second Life. There's a Poetry Slam at Four Bridges on Friday (check the events listing) and these events have a wonderful, festival feeling. Four Bridges is one of my favourite sims, supporting charities including Amnesty International. It was also the setting for the Peace Fest where the Poets Of Second Life all got up to take part. I hope the Poets of Second Life will gather again on Friday for another festival of poetry to support Four Bridges. It takes me back to my hippy days!

"Choices"

Putting on a cyclops eye and looking out,
Lets me see just one thing at a time.

And if you could do this too,

What would you choose to see first,

Within your home?



I'd hear many answers

from that quest.

Some might answer, oh I'd step in and see it's

shelter,

The way it has become a home

for us....

and others might go in further and explain why.

Inside the

Recipe for Vampire


“Hey, Princess,
you want a piece of me?” The gruff voice came from the bar. Evan looked
around and saw a tall, biker looking guy staring at him.



“Excuse me?” Evan looked at him for a moment and turned back to his
dinner guest when he didn’t respond. Svetlana paused, turned around to
see the man, then looked back at Evan. She leaned in close, “Some
people, huh?”



“Ye… Continue

Cyber Angels


(Word Count: 1733)





Cypher waited for the Data that was streaming through the ether with
revered anticipation. He longed for his mate as the time of her arrival
drew near. Not only did he love Codex, she was an integral part of his
existence. They were polar opposites, yet drawn together by reality and
purpose. They existed for each other in Cyberspace like night and day;
one n… Continue

Tales of Haven - Belina


With glazed eyes, she looked down at her blood soaked hands
and wondered what had happened. Her mind, still a fog of images, none
of them making any sense, wanders back into reality. When her vision
starts to clear she stands up, braced against the wall behind her. Blood? What hap….
Just then a loud crash from her left jolts her, shards of timber surge
past her, stinging her arms and ha… Continue
