By Josep Maria Garolera Carreras | 11-04-2022 | Poems
"Tell me why," the small poet asked the cold wind, "I'm so tiny and the stars
are so big; crowded houses, everywhere full of people, and I'm lying alone in this
little patch of ground. Tell me why my lyrics don't reach the skies, and my mood is
always darker th...

Political Sketch
Too many of us
have become so angry,
so self-righteous
we don’t care if our country
is torn apart,
rather than reach across
the great divide
and compromise.
Soon we will be like Russia
oligarchs, functionaries, se...
29. Amazing Echoes (1363 times seen)
By Josep Maria Garolera Carreras | 23-01-2022 | Poems
Crazy horses for the dead boys, wild horses for the still boys;
so they can run the last ride, before dying again.
Fast cars for the dead boys, loaded guns for the still boys;
so they can breathe for the last time, before ending life again.
I'm Macbeth, I'm Hamlet, I'm the mo...

By Miscellany | 22-01-2022 | Sports Betting
You cannot imagine how much I dislike the Treasury and banks. They have ruined many people's lives, because they show no mercy to anyone. They can leave you homeless, just because you have lost your job, and cannot pay the money that they ask for. It is no use telling them that you need more tim...

Today I will talk about sports betting jargon, which can be useful for learners of English, and for those that are not familiarised with those terms. I have visited the following website: onlinebetting.nz, and I have come across the words below:

It is a fact that many people like playing the lottery, doing the pools, gambling at casinos, betting on sports, and so forth. Some of them even dream of becoming rich, which is a long shot.
Some types of gambling, such as playing roulette or slots, do not require any previous knowledge...
33. Lottery and Sports Betting (1351 times seen)
By Miscellany | 21-01-2022 | Sports Betting
The word lottery has two meanings:
1. Governments sell lottery tickets as a way of raising money. They have a number printed on it. If you buy a winning number, you win a cash prize. If you win the first prize, it will make you rich. However, as you know, that is the same as looking for a needle ...
34. Shaken Words (1248 times seen)

No sad light inside this golden eye. No long finger pointing to the end of nothing.
And the mad man cried out, inside the heavy walled room, like a bird trapped
in a cage, like a man tied to a family.
White clouds like cotton sealing the landscape, and at the mountain top,
a woman scream...

Assessment
I sit among the aged, infirm,
in the hospital room
and know I am aged, infirm.
Unlike some I do not cry:
'where did the time go?'
I know where it went.
A lot of excitement.
A lot of fulfillment.

Where is justice?
I find her nowhere,
but she does not seem to care.
Where is justice?
I have looked for her everywhere,
but she is to be found nowhere.
Where is justice?
She does not appear to exist,
but some people want to make us believe she does.
Where is justice?

Seven days, seven drinks, seven nights and seven nightmares.
Seven flowers, just only one for you, seven storms and seven shipwrecks.
Seven headaches, all of them for you, seven weapons and just one wound.
Seven armies to do nothing, seven deserts and seven losts.
Seven chairs and nobody...

Oglescope
The weather is still warm enough
for women to wear short skirts,
tight tops, bare midriffs,
a visual pleasure
for those who care to look,
soon to be removed
with the first chill of fall.
Ponderous Changes

Urban Reaches
Alone in a great city
strangers pass,
intent on jobs, crime,
shopping, terror.
I know not what.
They all look remote,
don’t say ‘good morning’,
don’t meet my gaze,
except the hostiles,
when I qu...

No birds singing, no leaves swinging; oh baby, it's the calm before the storm.
No lightened houses, no cars running, no people wandering the streets;
I tell you, brother, it's the calm before the storm.
No breathings emitted, no sounds heard, no words spoken;
take it for granted,...

Come with me lonely cowboy,
come with me for a walk,
I'll show you lovely things
You've never seen before.
Both of us know what's the matter,
She's gone away, she's gone away and won't ever come back.
So, forget her pale blue eyes, her long blonde hair, and ...

Dread
In the prevailing climate
of imminent destruction
of civilization,
it may no longer be
in our nature
to save ourselves
before it is too late.

Mickey Mouse is in the house,

Celebration
Independence Day
may have meant
more in the 1780’s,
liberty just won,
a new nation
not yet as corrupt,
oppressive,
as the old world,
new citizens hopeful
the eloquent promise
of new government
would bring freedom.

Do As I Say
Primitive man
didn't understand
the nature of the universe

When tribes gave way

By Miquel Molina i Diez | 14-08-2018 | Pseudopoems
Year 2164.
Computers, mobile phones, and the like, are a thing of the past.
Microchips, which were implanted in our heads, govern our minds, our thoughts, our health, and everything we do.
There is no escape.
There is no privacy.
They can read our minds.
We are being indoctrinated....
48. Break me like a horse (2332 times seen)
By Peaches Alexander | 28-07-2018 | Poems
A gentle breaking takes time
Ironically time is what we’ve had the most of
Both time and gentleness breeds trust
A horse and his rider slowly learning to gallop together
The bit is placed in her mouth first,
Leading by example yet steadily steering
The stallion to the pasture of his drea...

After my shower I lay on my bed
wondering why depression is visiting again
my life is on track and I'm living my fame
but somehow I'm stuck in this purple-haze
My mind starts to wander about cousin Andre'
he put a rifle in his mouth
while he was in college
then my thoughts switche...
