prosepoem towards a definition of itself - brian patten
when in public poetry should take off its clothes and wave to the nearest person in sight; it should be seen in the company of thieves and lovers rather than that of journalists and publishers. on sighting mathematicians it should unhook the algebra from their minds and replace it with poetry; on sighting poets it should unhook the poetry from their minds and replace it with algebra; it should fall in love with children and woo them with fairy tales; it should wait on the landing for 2 years for its mates to come home then go outside and find them all dead.
when the electricity fails it should wear dark glasses and pretend to be blind. it should guide all those who are safe into the middle of busy roads and leave them there. it should scatter woodworm into the bedrooms of all peg-legged men not being afraid to hurt the innocent or make such differences. it should shout evil! evil! from the roofs of the world stock exchanges. it should not pretend to be a clerk or a librarian. it should be kind, it is the eventual sameness of contradictions. it should never weep until it is alone and then only after it has covered the mirrors and sealed up the cracks.
poetry should seek out pale and lyrical couples and wander with them into stables,nike tn pas cher, neglected bedrooms and engineless cars for a final good time. it should enter burning factories too late to save anyone. it should pay no attention to its real name.
poetry should be seen lying by the side of road accidents, hissing from unlit gasrings. it should scrawl the nymphomaniac's secret on her teacher's blackboard; offer her a worm saying: inside this is a tiny apple. poetry should play hopscotch in the 6pm streets and look for jinks in other people's dustbins. at dawn it should leave the bedroom and catch the first bus home to its wife. at dusk it should chatup a girl nobody wants. it should be seen standing on the ledge of a skyscraper, on a bridge with a brick tied round its heart. it is the monster hiding in a child's dark room, it is the scar on a beautiful man's face. it is the last blade of grass being picked from the city park.

lang="en_gb", huh? really?
no. i will enjoy today as i enjoy any sunday,tn pas cher, by: being irritated by americentrism on lj; going to tesco for a thrill-filled time; defriending people who have annoyed me over the last week; and stabbing something with a big sharp knife by the end of the evening. if those around me are lucky, that will merely turn out to be the fish i bought this morning.

"writer's block: holiday horrors
what are your holiday pet-peeves, and why?"
let's see. we can start with calling everything from valentine's day to secretaries' day a holiday. unless most people get a day off, it's not a holiday. then add 'calling everything from thanksgiving to new year "the holidays"' (thank you for the prompt, ).
then let's add 'screwing up the writer's block prompts yet again by failing to change the "en_gb" prompt to the one the rest of the world sees,nike air max tn, creating a mismatch between question and response'. admittedly in this case it's potentially hilarious - "what is your pet peeve?" is answered by responses like "waltzing with my grandmother".
*******************************************
as for
"writer's block: stardust memories
what is the your most cherished holiday memory from childhood, and why?"
1. straight answer: feeding chocolate cake to a sheep, up the side of a combe in somerset, while we watched our dam fill up. that was an august bank holiday monday, probably in 1982.
2. assuming holiday means christmas-or-cultural-equivalent, then probably the year we went to my grandparents for christmas eve, a break with tradition that worried us (we were all small enough to fear that father christmas wouldn't know where we'd gone). it turned out that the reason we'd gone was because my grandfather, father, and two teenaged cousins stayed up until 2am finishing the small details on the tudor manor dolls house my grandfather had made for me. i still remember the feeling i had when i saw that for the first time. (30-odd years later i'm still impressed by the work that went into it. it needs some restoration before anyone else can play with it, but i would love to get it back to 100% so my niece can have it in a few years' time.)

context: a few answers so far saying "nothing".
au contraire.
the sun rises, and sets. people go to work. rivers flow to the sea (to the sea). the newspapers write about reality tv shows. the needle returns to the start of the song and we all sing along like before. squirrels steal, bury, rediscover, eat nuts. rain falls. trees fall in forests and make ambiguous noise. taxes fall due. babies cry.
and let's not forget decomposition.

that i really really like books?
(ok, also that i am both untidy and a terrible hoarder, and am extremely eclectic in my tastes.)
actually this deserves a much longer answer but i'm about to leave work and won't be online again for a few hours. i think books and bookshelves tell us a lot about their owners, though.

possibly toy story 3. it can definitely become a classic, yes. not sure if it absolutely will be the best movie of the year, as i can't actually remember what else i've seen this year (i'm a bit tired...) but it's got to be up there in the top three.

i have an icon to match this question! 
meh. i don't read much fanfiction, and most of what i have been persuaded to read i was at best indifferent to. has written some stuff i really liked, and pointed me at some other good things, and i put up links to a couple of fics i thought worked really well - that's life on cars and a good omens one - but as a sample of what's out there that is so far into decimal places (0.000000....1%) that i can't honestly say i'm a fan!

now the bright morning star, day's harbinger,
comes dancing from the east, and leads with her
the flowery may, who from her green lap throws
the yellow cowslip, and the pale primrose.
hail bounteous may that dost inspire
mirth and youth, and warm desire,
woods and groves, are of thy dressing,
hill and dale, doth boast thy blessing.
thus we salute thee with our early song,
and welcome thee, and wish thee long.

i know i have left books out of this, mostly where a quick glance at the shelves is not quite enough to remind me... they'll be re-reads though.

found via , who has also written a story: suggested a that intrigued me - write a story based around a song lyric or part of one. i think a few fic writers and music fans on my flist might fancy a go too!

guesses at the lyric are welcome (but i think it's obvious); i will unlock commenting briefly for this post!

mmmmm. that's been a while.
i used to sit at the back in publishing lectures and at the front in english, except when i was late. no windows in the underground lecture theatre, and i rarely looked out of the windows in gibbs building because frankly there wasn't much to see there anyway, and a lot of my classes were in the evening (a good proportion of u/g, all p/g) so there is even less to see in the dark. i took about as many notes as i needed, it turned out. the less interesting the class the more i took notes - because i knew i wasn't just going to remember stuff the way i did in the interesting ones.

yes. i'm several dozen lexulous games into reconnecting with a very good friend from primary/(first) secondary school, and very glad about it - we hadn't quite lost touch entirely, but between 1995 and 2002 there was no contact, and only sporadically after that (although i did go to her wedding, she's never met ), but for the last year or so it's been better. thank facebook for that one. it's never going to be the friendship we had between,nike tn, say, 9 and 14, but i'm happy not to have lost her entirely.
