"Last Moments of Artistic Freedom": A strong animal instinct Is rising from my body It's clear and strong My naked skin flowers in beautiful colours Look at me Adore me - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "Ocean Trapped" They say the body is a temple But the boy was trapped in something that felt more like a cage. The blood in his veins felt like an ocean, like the fucking Atlantic with its cold currents. Noontide flooded in and rushed. He fell against the shell of his own being. Every moment of existence Consisted of kicking and screaming and clutching at the Burning metal bars He feared the level of the ocean would rise. He closed his eyes. He shut his senses, all of them. The fall would come quickly, He knew it then. The cage was filled to the brim with nothing. Ocean was still there. Salt poured into every pore on his skin.

Love the sample poems.Will read your blogs. Take care, Tony.
Hiya :o) Your sample reminds me of the character 'Rosie May' (Rebecca Front) - In 'The Day Today' as the Environmental correspondent. The bearded Rosie May presents the "Enviromation" slot.

I think I see where Ocean Trapped is going; enjoyed it. A modern cousin of Milton's Lycidas.
