I'm back.
Two Years Ago... I drum my fingers against the wooden table. My sigh of frustration echoes throughout the empty house. 'How is it that four letters can shape my life forever?' I think to myself. I look at my watch. Five to seven. The pos…
London bridge is falling down, Falling down, Falling down, Screaming echoes round the town, Through the blazes. London bridge is falling down, Falling down, Falling down, My laughter echoes round and round, Through the blazes.
Alright, I have an idea. You've got to write a poem. But, and here's the tricky bit, each line must start with a different letter. And it must have at least 26 lines. Sound like fun? If you're interested hash tag
No hell below us, Above us only sky, Imagine all the people, Living for today. Imagine there's no countries, It isn't hard to do, Nothing to kill or die for, And no religion too. Imagine all the people, Living life in peace... You may sa…
His eyes Red Red like blood Like blood Running Running through his eyes His skin Crystal Crystal white Black veins Coursing Along his body Deepest night Black fire Teeth Like knives In my neck Blood Hot and soft to his mouth My eyes Red Red…
There was once a boy, Named Nicholas Claud, Who was sitting in his flat, Completely bored. He looked out the window, Of the 99th flat, And thought to himself, 'I wonder if I can get higher than that.' So he caught the elevator, And went d…
Poirems, you may have hundreds of fleets, And Glarce may have your science, Yasts may have guerilla warfare, But you simply fight in defiance. Your tactics are old, Outmoded, outdated, You can't think of new plans, Your warfare is not cre…
What's OBR?
O' puss, You sit with me by the fireside, Listen to my emotions with a gentle purr, And stay with me 'til my flame has died. O' puss, You stay when I'm gone, Ever faithful, you never leave, You're always at home. O' puss, What would I do …

How can I fly Beneath the ground How can I be here If I'm not found How can I swim Without the water How can I know what to do Without master How can I run If there's nothing to run to How can I live Without you?
There was once a boy Of seven and a sixth Who had a IQ exceeding that Of Einsteins, Hawkins and the rest of the list. He learned Chinese in 2 seconds flat And realised the meaning of life in a flash He calculated the possibility of light…
A black rose, Grows in a field of decay, After three blue moons, In seventeen days. It takes the life of all around it, Making their lives its own, The stem grows swift from the breast of the earth, And takes a black petal as crown. It re…
Writhing and twisting under my skin, Ripping and turning and pulling me in, Towards its blackened heart and soul, To take my own to use as coal. For an ever-burning fire of hate, And anger and greed and twists of fate, But is this a monste…
A moon of flowers, Fluttering in the sky, Like nervous butterflies, They float on a midnight wind. A moon of flowers, Falling apart, Falling to the ground, Whipping across the sky. Roses and poppies, And lilies and snowbells, Raining on …
The smallest spark can start the biggest blaze; but remember, never play with fire
"Don't spend your life staring at the beautiful rose you can never have. Rather, spend your life looking at the field of perfect roses within your reach" - Kinuthia Gakonga
I shout and scream, And cry and weep, And moan and yell, Out on the streets. Can't you hear it, My silent howls, My muffled shrieks, The sound is foul. You laugh and talk, But can't hear my woe, Everywhere, anywhere, I holler so. I walk…
When a farmer plants a seed, The seed must slowly grow. When a gardner plants a rose, The rose shall surely grow. But when a bulb grows different, A white rose in a world of red, The white will be shunted and pushed to the earth, Where no …
"We tend to think too much of the good luck of the early bird; and too little of the bad luck of the early worm"
I stumble through the dark, Causelessly, aimlessly, Without purpose or reason, Without a light to lead my way. I see a glow in the darkness, A candle in the wind, A light at the end of the tunnel, Something to live for. I walk closer and …
Strange? Strange! I'm not strange. I'm normal and everyone else is strange.
I'm sitting in my sailing boat, Staring into the sapphire sea, I look above the white tipped waves, And something fascinates me. I stand above the rocking ocean, And gaze at its polished skin, I wonder what's beneath the waves, And jump an…
Whenever something goes wrong, realise why that going wrong is good. Always look on the bright side of life (do-do, do-do-do-do-do-do) :) All bad situations have a positive, and I can prove it.
The plain bag. That's what I am. The plain bag. I'm there but I'm just a burden. Shunted, ignored, worthless. Nothing but scrap paper to be torn to shreds in the hands of a child. To them. I'm the man no one cares about. Not even worthy to…
Tiredness rolls in, Like a wave on the wind, But I can't sleep, My boredom's too deep. I just want to leave, Get out of this hell, You say 5 minutes left, So I wait for the bell. I sit in my seat, My head in my hand, And I write this poem…
I know lots of people say this, but thanks to all you 92 people who read and care about what I have to say. Without you guys I never would have written those story's and poems. Thank you all. I love you!❤
I feel the piercing coils of metal whizz past my face. The adrenaline pumping through my body paralyses the world around me. I see the bullets spin through the air. The explosions sending burning debris shooting high into the sky. My eyes …
I'm walking barefoot on a bed of thorns, My feet are ripped and sore and torn. I walk over the deadly spikes, The promise of your love in my sights. That's what it feels like to be your lover, Treading carefully, and trying never, To mis-t…
Fly away Birdie Fly high into the sky, I can't come with you, I'm stuck to the ground. Fly away Birdie, You can find more, You can find better, Look down from above. Fly away Birdie, Leave me behind, I'm just a dead weight, Holding you d…
Uhuru. I shout the word over and over in my head. Uhuru. Uhuru. Uhuru! I look at Amy. Blood is running over her whole body. I can't see a speck of her silken brown fur under the crimson blanket. Mr. Sharp extends his claw and puts it unde…
Uhuru. I roll the word over in my mouth. Uhuru. I glance over at my fellow mice. We take the wheat of the stalk. We've been doing this since dawn, and will continue until dusk. I look at Amy. Poor Amy. Our owner only bought her last year d…
I'm thinking about writing a book about racism. It would be called uhuru(for reasons explained in the story). It would be set in America in the time before slavery was abolished. It would portray black people as mice, white slave owners as …
"One mans dusk is another mans dawn." - Kinuthia Gakonga
I take the goods from George. "Thanks", I say. 'What are you doing!' - the rational side of my brain yells at me. He deserves everything he gets. But the other, emotional side wins out. "Oh and, I got you these" He reaches his out towards…
I'm two months pregnant now. I look round at the maternity pants in the shop window. Just looking. What sorts of woman would buy these. They look like trousers that a clown would wear, only less stylish. I sweep my gaze round the mall. I …
"Well you can't keep it, can you!", my Mother shouts at me. "Why not!", I shout even louder. "Because...", she starts laughing hysterically, almost screaming,"Why do you want to keep it!" This question stops me in my tracks. Why do I want …

You know those times when you look at your reflection, and see something move in the background. Those times when the hairs stand up on the back of your neck and you swear something moved in the background of the mirror. Well that's me. I…

Dreams can be good, bad, amazing or useless. It depends what your looking for.
I march with the crowd, my flag flying high. It is our symbol of peace. I watch people get shot down all around me. The people on the rooftops painting the flag of the rebellion over our tri-coloured flag are dropping like flies. I hear th…

Please note that this is just my opinion. I'm sure you all have different views, feel free to share them in the comments box. But don't say I'm wrong, because I'm not as opinions can't be wrong. The death penalty is, in my opinion, wrong. …
People say that "A picture is worth a thousand words". This particular saying has always perplexed me. Now I love art and literature, but you cannot compare them against each other. Both are amazing and brilliant in their own right. But yo…

Do you ever just stop and think how little lines of squiggles can make us laugh cry or jump for joy. They can create new people and planets, but just as easily destroy them. They can alter your sympathies. So the bad guy is good. And they c…
Everyones saying how they have to go back to school and how much they hate it. Are you people mad! Seriously, its moan this and whine that. Get a grip on yourselves. I'm not sure you realise how lucky you are. To have some of the best educ…
Chapter One: A Fine Wine. The water soothes my aching body. I bathe gently in the water, oblivious to the sun diminishing on the horizon. All that's important is my little bubble of time and space. Here and now. Nothing but. Jeremy glides…
I'm walking across a serene beach. I look up to the sky above. I see a star fall out of the sky, trailing a whit hot cut across the patchwork of the deep purple night. I see the sun peep over the horizon, crowded by a spectrum of colours. …
I kiss his forehead. "I love you, Oli", I whisper. I love you more, Louisi-Anne", only Oli calls me by my full name. Everyone else just calls me Louise. But I don't mind, I love him, so I hardly notice. We lie back and watch the stars. I s…
We build paper mountains, Then sit and watch them burn.
I look into the stars. I have done this ever since I was little. When you look at the stars you dream, and when you dream your inspired, and when you're inspired. You can create! Works of music, art or writing, expression. But I've discove…
The sun comes up, the sun goes down, What did I forget to do in the hours inbetween. Anything, everything, The value of life is too much to waste doing nothing at all.
"A rose by any other name would smell just as sweet.' - William Shakespeare
Once upon a time, in the heavens, Sun and Moon lived together in perfect harmony. They loved each other so much that the Sun burned with passion and the Moon was a mess of craters because of all the asteroids it had protected the Sun agains…
Syllable patterns, Mean haikus can become random, Refrigerator .
You read about it in the paper. The disaster, the earthquake, the evil dictator. You hear it on the news, The ones who die, The ones who lose. You see the footage of the starving kids, Thin and weak, rummaging through bins. We see the p…

"Don't it always seem to go, that you don't know what you've got 'till it's gone" - Joni Mitchell
People say "everything dies, so what's the point". Those people, are idiots. If everything dies then surly the point is cherishing while you can. Is the message not staring you in the face. If everything dies, then get up, and celebrate i…
Danielle I walk to Harrison's house. I can hardly believe that in such an ordinary house such things can go on. But I love him, and what is pain in the face of love. Katherine, my best friend, tells me I should leave him. That I'll end u…
Why fit in when you can stand out?
"Publicising your own quotes is the height of vanity" - Me
We live and love, We push and shove, We look into the sky above. We look and see, We smile with glee, We eat dinner with the family. We hide and seek, Try to look 'sheek', Strengthen our friends when they are weak. But that what's makes …
I hate it when people mix up the words 'to' and 'too'. Seriously, you only have two differentiate between too words.
(the final chapter) I watch my children playing on the beach. Danny is our first born. He is ten years old now. Sandy hair and the most piercing blue eyes, just like his namesake. He jumps into the sea, oblivious to my thoughts. Our other…
I lie in bed, as I have for the past two days. Ever since the news arrived. Sleep brings nothing but nightmares, and reality offers no refuge. I lie in bed, semi-concious. Trying to stop my frantic mind. 'This cant be happening', I think. …
"Do you, Sapphire Devereux Horizon, take this man, Jeremy Samuel Franklin, to be your lawful wedded husband?" I look round at our small party. Jeremy's two brother fidget in their suits, I almost laugh. The five year old twins look as if …
"The 10:15 to Australia is now boarding" The notifications seem loud and rough to my ears. I'd been up since four-thirty. We trudged slowly towards the plane, neither of us sure this was the right choice. The forced smiles of the attendan…
I walk into my house. Slightly dazed by the events of today, I walk to the dining room without taking in anything of my surroundings.I sit down to find a cold pasta sitting at my seat. "Where have you been."I look up to see my Mother addre…
We run down the beach, hand in hand. Laughing, running, laughing. The water slows our pace, until we eventually fall. A white boat sails towards us. I feel intruded, this has always been our spot, mine and Jeremy's. The boat comes towards…
I feel the crisp, cold grass beneath my feet. The brisk morning air sweeps past me. I shiver, but it's a good shiver. I've never liked warmth, I prefer the cold. Just feeling the icy sensation shoot through every fibre of my being. I'm wea…
Dear Maths, I'm not your therapist, solve your own problems

You dream a dream and think "why". I dream a dream and think "why not".
"My candle burns at both ends, It will not last the night, But oh my friends, and oh my foes, It gives a lovely night." - Roald Dahl
Two months later. Nothing had happened to me recently worth recording. I'm Amber, I'm an orphan, I hate my life. I try to drift back into my own little world, where the sky is velvet and the sea if sapphire. Where I float upon a violet br…
I screamed. I fell to my knees in agony, a white burning pain distorted and deteriorated my vision. I fell to the floor, ripping the broach from my body. I looked at my throbbing breast and saw, burned into the skin, the broach's phoenix…
Flying across a velvet sky, I feel calm, peaceful. My sigh reverberates gently through the sapphire ocean beneath me, it's surface throbbing with the song of the waves. I float on a gentle breeze, swaying on its violet tendrils, reaching …
"I don't like Twilight as it is a romance story about one woman's dielemma between necrophilia and bestiality" - Jimmie Carr
Why do I speak. Why do I think. Why do I do what I try to do. Why do I sit here writing. Because I can? Because I want to? Because its for the greater good? There is no greater good, who can I help with words? But think, just think about …
I wake. I sleep. I live. I like. I help. I hinder. I speak. I think. I do. I don't. I can. I can't. I live my life but I'm dead inside. I'm an empty shell. But then you came along. To inhabit my shell. To spark the spark of life I need …
