[155 words] [Motivational] Cliches Are Still Feelings (Poetry) The entire poem is one big cliche nowadays, or so I'm told. Is it still relevant? Is it thematic plagiarism? You be the judge.

[1,142 words] [Mind] Poena Convoco (Poetry) Another metaphoric, or perhaps not so metaphoric attack on the modern world - but as always I seem to constrict its purity with personal memories. [120 words] [Business] Poena Defendo (Poetry) Poem written while attending a carnival/field day in the heart of country pig hunting territory; these words were inspired by some of the people and imagery at the functions I attended.

[96 words] [Spiritual] The Great Procrastination (Poetry) Self explanatory, really. [121 words] [Mind] The Office (Poetry) I couldn't work out if this was a micro-short or a prose poem. The way it's written it's a short story, but I think there's too much rhyme, and it's a bit too short. Anyway, here it is for your pleasu... [474 words] [Mind] This Marble Reflection (Poetry) Surrealism - in prose. [118 words] Toad (Poetry) Poem - about a toad. [50 words] Upon Waking (Poetry) Upon waking, this short lyric poem came to me.

Poena Texo T J Rintoull
PAIN
Pain
I beat
My head
Slowly now
Against a wall
Inviting chaos
Blood and grim to mingle
Blinding me with concrete pain
Forcing out the scream requirement
Raising distant voices of disdain
Repression agression ultimate pain
Nerve wracking sobs of agonised squealing
Washing down bruised blackened muscles
Parting a vermilion sea
Resolving the climax
Answering the sobs
Giving up ghosts
Start again
New day
Eyes bright
Peace.
GLOBAL CHILLING
Certain people like it hard
Other people like it fast
Others like to hurt and hate
The rest just want to feel the rape
A world of misfits reeling past
Lost and crying eating grass
Greening in a world of steel
Lose that talent how to feel
Ice is growing in the heart
Innocence is Monster Mart
Evil real and filled with glee
Running rampant wild and free
No longer do we watch TV
Instead get into B & D
And that's okay if you're that way
Not just expressing your dismay
At worlds in worlds forever lost
Forest summer caged in frost
If this is so then hark to me
You go too far it's time to flee
For S and M in fun I know
Will warm agains the coming snow
But time will tell then kneeling bold
If you're frozen in the cold.
QUESTION
If all likfe is geared
Toward one cosmic purpose
What then
Regardless of the purpose in question
Is the point of existence
Once that pinnacle is attained?
Where do we go from there?
Do we simply snuff, having fulfilled
Our destiny?
The answers
We are given
Are not satisfactory
Perhaps it is best
To fall back
On a peculiar
But famous axiom
Being that
Truth suffers
From too much questioning.
SPHEREHEAD
World spins
Stars fly hurling wildly through time
Hitler gasses six million Jews
Stalin is named a hero of his nation
Herbert and Robinson sell millions
Rampa is forgotten
Hearts break
Buildings topple
Wars are again fought and lost
Season come seasons go
Politicians rage endlessly over nothing
Lives detract and add to each others' purpose
Philosophers question endlessly
Mandella an Arafat recieve a Peace Prize
Microchips enter the wrists of the public
The Euro crashes only to emerge stronger than ever
The Japanese are ever so polite
Surfing just gets better
Halley's comet comes again for the second time
Jesus heals
Bhudda doesn't
Religion attacks science in a turn table event
The word Mob gets a bad name
Hyphens and exclamation points continue to be under-used!
Atlantis sucks another plane under
Bipolar afflicts one in five
My couch is kind of dirty
So is my brain
I wonder
What the hell am I doing in my loungeroom?
As I think this, Halley's comet passes over
And the world spins.
