[hometext] => Here is my latest work. I have had a bit of a block lately but this flowed out and took about fifteen minutes to write. I am stoked :)
[bodytext] => Where did I come from, I wonder in my brain? Did I land here as a speck of dust , Or maybe a drop of rain, Falling fast to earth, Quenching sun-drenched plains. I have no idea but I know forever I know, I will remain. I marched across the savannah high, Trudged through Siberian snows. Sweltered in Saharan heat, Saw flood, as the Nile rose. I/'/ve seen so many battles, To many large and small. I was there with Napoleon Bonaparte, When he fought in all his wars. I was on the western front as well, With my Digger mates we fort. I saw a flag on Iwo Jima Hill, I witnessed Saddam/'/s downfall. I flew with Orville and Wilbur Wright, Kitty Hawks first flight, the goal. I braved freezing ice, snow and winds, With Doug Mawson at the pole. I walk with a friend, upon the Moon, Neil Armstrong by my side, I dove down to the deepest depths, With Jacques Cousteau, my guide. I have been and gone, but did you know, My existence is steel, I will not bow. I am stronger then all, guns, knifes, swords, They have tried to destroy me, but I am the lord. A lord you all know, a lord with a friend, My powerful, stronger friend, a friend who is a PEN. For I am a poem, I have witnessed it all I saw blood, death and honour, I saw great men fall. I saw history made, Through the pen and through the sword. And you can read what I witnessed, In any poem at all.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
