POETRY: Under Milk Wood
Listen to the deliciously-coarse voice of Richard Burton reading from Dylan Thomas' Under Milk Wood.

You'll want to double up on the whiskey & cigarettes just to get some of that scrape in your throat.

POETRY: So quiet in the slime
Evil and dry over the gods
You transform tiny dreams against the trees
Take cover! The devil has fled
So violet beside the trees
We command big sounds below the bullshit
Ahhh! The bastard will go
So quiet in the slime
You confound tiny bones beyond the mud
Alass, alack! The night keeps going
opaque fighting back
across the water
a phone ringing somewhere
To what end
the foreigner
grow old
while the crowd watched

Written by The Poetry Generator over at languageisavirus.com. , a cool place for writers.

POETRY: The Poetery debate continues....
I dreamed I saw Steve Augustine alive as you or me,
He comments on those bloggers with
the utmost certainty
"no poets are among you now
who you can call your own
so go on your way accordingly
and know that I'm alone..."

POETRY: Berlin Night Life
Fuelled by cerebral fevers,
elapsed dream sequences
are driving races lasting a lifetime
between buildings on marshlands.

Where marigolds flourish
is no mans' land,
illuminated by fireflies
No woman's garden and no child's playground.

Nights are not just the time for sleep
Past injuries start bleeding again,
ghosts appear on walls, in future
hallucinations of habitable lives, but
trophies for adventurous visions, for utopia are

linked to the most valued lies of illusions,
to trips into the deserts that offer
faint Fata Morganas , 1001 nights' tales,
erased by the dawn of the third millennium.

POETRY: Creative Writing Poetry Group
At 17.30 on Sunday 12 March a very special group of people will be bringing their opinions to Another Country to talk about their ideal poetry group. What can a poetry group do for me? How can I share and receive criticism to make my poetry better? What kinds of devices are used in good poetry?
These and other exemplary questions will be discussed. Plans for future meetings will also be put in motion.
Come along - perhaps bring a new poem to share.
