How much grit do you think you’ve got? Can you quit a thing that you like a lot? You may talk of pluck; it’s an easy word, And where’er you go it is often heard; But can you tell to a jot or guess Just how much courage you now possess? You…
I never put my things away. I never dust my room. I never fix the things I break. I never use a broom. I never take the garbage out. I never buy the food. I never get embarrassed when a person sees me nude. I never clean the table tops. I n…
Well, it's nice to finally meet you. I've been waiting for your call. I've noticed you've been crying, And, I've watched you pace the halls. Whatever has been hurting you, I can make it disappear. You know you have nothing to lose, Nothin…

I don't like the ranking aspect of Opuss. I think it takes away the ethos of a love of words and is simply a competition.
My rowing coach just emailed and said: "Because it's Christmas, I'll move tomorrow's session from 8am to 10am." Wow. How kind.
Sometimes our lives go round in circles and all we have to do is go on Opuss, read a poem and suddenly our hearts are filled we joy, peace, and unity. And I have you, the many Opussians to thank. So, thank you.
I have no idea how to explain this but I'll give it a try. Here we go. Good luck. Sometimes in life we have a lot of time on our hands and we get thinking. It's just what we do. Now, I'm no chemist who can discover the intricacies of the …
Christmas is more than a day in December It's all of those things that we love to remember Its carolers singing familiar refrains Bright coloured stockings and shiny toy trains Streamers of tinsel and glass satin balls Laughter that rings t…
I used to need somebody To sit and read to me. I'd look at every page they read And listen carefully. But now that I am at school, I'm filling up a shelf With stories, poems, and other books That I can read myself
The eyes are windows of the heart Wherein transparency will show A myriad feelings to impart From where in sadness, tears do flow. The eyes will say contents of heart The speech two lovers freely speak, For Silence eloquently starts Roman…
Do you know a life of loneliness and one filled with pain Living a life with nothing to gain Surrounded by darkness Overwhelmed with shame A life without peace with no one to blame? Do you know of a place unseen, A place that holds only s…
I think people need to ask themselves why they don't have turkey the rest of the year and they'll find the answer is because it's boring and tasteless!!
Love this: I am a statue that bleeds A rock that breathes I see you fall, and reach out while frozen in place My cold heart beats vitally For the objects of my devotion I love them with my distance While remaining in solitude The seasons c…

Has anyone read "The Wasp Factory" by Ian Banks and thinks it's totally insane?
Not feeling the Christmas vibes yet. Not sure why. Could be because it isn't cold :( DAMN YOU GLOBAL WARMING!!!!!!!!
How do I tell you I'm sorry With a gesture, a look, a touch? How is it I never realized I hurt you so very much? I do not ask forgiveness, A comfort I'll never deserve. I merely want to let you know, But I cannot find the nerve. To finall…
I take it you already know Of tough and bough and cough and dough? Others may stumble, but not you, On hiccough, thorough, lough and through? Well done! And now you wish, perhaps, To learn of less familiar traps? Beware of heard, a dreadful…
Some find The Light in literature; Others in fine art, And some persist in being sure The Light shines in the heart. Some find The Light in alcohol; Some, in the sexual spark; Some never find The Light at all And make do with the dark, …
My cat, no Lassie, looks at me With eyes whose green tranquility Could watch me drown as long as she Had just been fed. She ought to be A grand Episcopalian cat With blue jay feathers on her hat, Who flips her furs across the pew While bla…

Do illiterate people get the full effect of alphabet soup?
Quick, fun poetry: I told my mom I'd go to work If she would go to school. She thought that trading places once Just might be kind of cool. So she agreed; I packed her lunch And made her wash her face. Then Mother said, "I wonder why Yo…

Surely if Cinderella's shoe fitted her, it wouldn't have fallen off...
A homeless man died recently in my town. Many people have showed their grief but how many helped him in his life? Very few. Think and be generous. It's Christmas.
Have a look at the top Opusses of all time. None are original. That's sad. What does that tell us about how we live our lives?
What do you call it when the hurt is in your soul? When you smile and laugh but you know its all a show? When you feel like you've hit your all time low? When nothing makes you happy and the darkness around you grows?
I would like to decorate this silence, but my house grows only cleaner and more plain. The glass chimes I hung over the register ring a little when the heat goes on. I waited too long to drink my tea. It was not hot. It was only wa…
I've always wanted a place where I can express my love for life without some idiot getting in the way. Cue Opuss.
Heaven? A good book, a blanket, a fire and a hot chocolate. Perfect.

The annoying truth that when you do something right, everyone forgets but when you do something wrong, no one forgets
'The Help' is such an amazing film and compares very respectably to the truly genius novel. Packed full of that good old American humour but most importantly, inspiration and motivation to achieve what is just even if it means standing up t…
