Dear world.
Two things.
1. Read this most excellent poem I plan on performing this weekend at Speed Poets.
2. Bow respectfully before you approach, and slice me down the lemon.
 
The Offerings.

My Science teacher told me how in India, they use homeless people for science experiments at universities.
Not while they’re still alive.
After they have died from whatever [...]

There are no major-life-changing-decisions - Only lots of little decisions every day.
There are no mountains to climb - Just millions of tiny mole hills.
There are no years to compleate - Just one day, repeated over and over.
Children never have a first word - They just make noises that sound more and more like words.

The first thing you need to know is that for as long as I can remember I have had a phobia of public toilets. I was probably molested in them when I was 4 and have suppressed the memory’s. I always try to avoid seeing other people in them at ALL COSTS.
The other day I [...]

This poem was actually born as an email, written to Justin, who has now received so many references in my blog its not funny. He should defiantly comment this post. (hint hint).
What is good poetry and what is crap poetry? I don’t know. All I know is that this came out of me very quickly. [...]

If you care, read the post I wrote about it all.
I’ve been researching poets and events around Queensland. Recently I went to these Poetry Unearthed events. All linked into the Queensland Poetry Festival and the Brisbane Poetry Scene.

There were once two friends.
They wrote to each other via electronic mail.
One wrote letter and sent it.
The other accidentally deleted it.
Murder.
 
The first waited and waited for the second to reply.
The second waited and waited for the first to write the letter they had already sent.
And they never spoke again.
They didn’t even attend each other’s [...]

Justin is coming up to the sunshine coast!
This Tuesday afternoon!
(AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!)
Justin is my Febuary freind. We origionally met in 2006. We were both regional winners of Heywire, a radio writing competition and the prize was a week long youth forum in Camberra (it was the first week of Febuary). We’ve kept in contact through a million [...]

I just read my sisters blog and was SHOCKED by how facinating it can be to read the boring intricacys of someones life.  So here are mine.
Most of the time, nowadays, I am EXCITED. I am excited about LOTS of things.
I am excited about my new Unicycle. I will be the ultimate definition of cool [...]

Firstly, grow up on the opposite side of a white picket fence to your prospective partner. Have photos of the two of you painting each other’s naked four-year-old bodies. When you are in your early teens, you must catch fish [...]
