Dark masquerading as light
Not always at night

What was cotton?

Here's a couple of Cottonopolis poems.
If you want to read what I said about
Cottonopolis before, check this.

WHAT WAS COTTON? (STOLON OCTOPI)
Sloppy Joe's, mee-mawing, 'what was cotton?'
There they were knocking up the worlds trousers
Once upon a time when the mills were here
Lentil soup for supper, I think, innit?
Outer Mongolia's, eating lentils
Now that the post production rot's got out

Only who could spin a yarn like that now

Cotton was the pride of Manchester once
Trousers that would change the world if only...
Outside in the cold light of day pissed up
Pissed off with the way that they've been kicked out
Innit! and a bit of bread with your slop...

WHAT WAS COTTON? (REVEALED)
Cotton was the pride of Manchester once
Once upon a time when the mills were here
There they were knocking up the worlds trousers
Trousers that would change the world if only...
Only who could spin a yarn like that now
Now that the post production rot's got out
Outside in the cold light of day pissed up
Pissed off with the way that they've been kicked out
Outer Mongolia's, eating lentils
Lentil soup for supper, I think, innit?
Innit! and a bit of bread with your slop...
Sloppy Joe's, mee-mawing, 'what was cotton?'

Here's one I did last week:
My Acrostic poem with 36 different anagrams of the acrostic word. The Acrostic word was Constantinople, I then shuffled up the letters and made anagrams like: Platonic Sonnet and Non Poetic Slant. You can read the complete 37 versions of this poem HERE

Now that we know that time is running slow
One of you will be the one for me now
Tic-toc clock slow down don't mess me around

A round peg in a square hole so what's new?
New Zealand's been there quite a long time too

OK Corral and all that filmic pap
Paparazzi mug-shot, genie of love
Two four six eight, count to infinity...
Infinitely, yes you'll be the one now
Could you be the one? pull the other one!

Loving me like I was your other ex
Extra special you, if only you could...
Now that I know that you are A okay
Slower tock than a broken clock can tick

Love..

Welcome to my Love post..

Here's a little something I thought I'd lost, I found it today and I'm giving it some more love...

DAMNATION AND AMSTERDAM
Hook it up, and pretend that it's money
Arrivals ain't my style, no not nearly
Nearly nearly, no not really girlie
Girl you ain't seen nothin' yet, not ever
Sometimes not, but always you're my baby

Simple Simon says, take a butcher's hook
Anyone knows that life should be simple
Money can't wipe the slate clean anymore
Every time I look you up, you return

Baby, she said, I don't wanna arrive
Returning like a bad penny sometimes
Androids are like that, predictable nerds
Nervous as fish out of water, and damn...
Damnation and Amsterdam have Androids

DAMNATION AND
AMSTERDAM (REVEALED)

Baby, she said, I don't wanna arrive
Arrivals ain't my style, no not nearly
Nearly nearly, no not really girlie.
Girl you ain't seen nothin' yet, not ever
Every time I look you up, you return
Returning like a bad penny sometimes
Sometimes not, but always you're my baby.

Androids are like that, predictable nerds
Nervous as fish out of water, and damn...
Damnation and Amsterdam have Androids.

Money can't wipe the slate clean anymore
Anyone knows that life should be simple
Simple Simon says, take a butcher's hook
Hook it up, and pretend that it's money.

Haiku Wall..

HAIKU WALL
Welcome to my Haiku wall, I got the idea in Dublin earlier this month. A building site in O'Connell street had a painted wall with 'I'm afraid of...'' written on it and people had chalked things like 'Driving on the wrong side of the road' and 'Double decker buses', to complete the sentence. I thought what a great idea, you could do the same thing with Haiku.
PROMPT ONE
I came up with the thought: I like spending time... or I like spending time with you... and I wrote a few examples. The idea is that you write something using my thought and drop it in my comments box. If you publish it on your own blog too, please leave a link so we can all read and comment there as well.
MY EXAMPLES:

I like spending time
'cos I don't have much money
Hangin' out with you

All night long
I like spending time
In deep sleep

I like spending time
In the place where I come from
Eternity South

I like spending time
Dreaming and disecting dreams
Writing poetry

I like spending time
Waiting for inspiration
Talking with the gods

I like spending time
Watching the way the clouds change
Blue skies looming grey

Freeloading
I like spending time
Not money

Where are you
I like spending time
In your thoughts

My Czech mate
I like spending time
Playing chess

Where are U
I like spending time with her
'cos she looks like U

Good bye Blue
I like spending time
In your mind

I like
Spending time
With you

I like
Spending time
Wisely

I like
Spending time
In bed

I like
Spending time
Shopping

In heaven
I like spending time
By myself

I like spending time
In the ever expanding
Eternal domain

Although they can fly
I like spending time with you
On Terra Firma

Teetotal
I like spending time
Drinking tea

Little Chimpanzee
I like spending time with you
Monkey's drive me nuts

FINALLY
So the prompt is either I like spending time... or I like spending time with you...
The idea is to have FUN! they don't have to be traditional Haiku or academically correct.
So, if you'd like to scrawl something on my Haiku Wall, just drop it in my comments box! Thanks!!

Haiku Conclusion

I LIKE
SPENDING TIME
WITH YOU

HAIKU CHALLENGE
Phew, we've come to the end of the Haiku Heights Challenge, where we had to write thirty Haiku in thirty days. You would probably only expect to write two or three decent ones in that time, but the challenge goes beyond that. You get the opportunity to read everybody else's work and comment on the progress of the challenge each day.
WRITING
At the end of the day we are all writers, and the Haiku Challenge can only make us better, better informed, better read, and better writers.
HAIKU
Over the last thirty days I have written more Haiku than in my life previously, not only have I managed to complete the Haiku Challenge but I have also accumulated a few extra Haiku that I did not use. When I say Haiku, I'm talking about a fairly broad school, most of them wouldn't qualify in the traditional or academic sense, but the trick is just to write something, and see what happens.
SPARE HAIKU

...and here's one I wrote for 3WW
the prompt words were:

My heart and hers beat as one
Slowly they erode
07092011/1

FINALLY
I just want to tell you about my Haiku Wall. I came up with the line: I like spending time with you. And I wrote a few Haiku style poems that I will publish on this site tomorrow. The idea is that you write something using my line as the prompt and drop it into my comments box. Full explanation tomorrow.
