   WARNING WARNING, DANGER WILL ROBINSON

THIS PAGE(apparently)HAS DEFENSIVE & DISTURBING THEMES - IF YOU ARE UNDER 18

YOU MAY FIND IT OFFENSIVE

LEAVE NOW

 

 

 

   

CaptainRedd:	Wow, dont you think some of the photos on your page are defensive and disturbing?
acari27:	Yes they made me FEEL something
CaptainRedd:	Yeah, well, seeing as this is a public website to AP users, lets just keep our feelings to ourselves. Some of us might like to keep out minds pure and not have to worry about stumbling upon gross and inappropriate content.

      

 

 

 

 

IF YOU ARE OVER 18 AND A TWAT

HOPEFULLY YOU

WILL ALSO BE OFFENDED

AND LEAVE NOW

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

THIS WARNING TAKES UP VALUABLE SPACE-I COULD HAVE HAD A DISTURBING IMAGE HERE.

NOW,

 

 

 

 

 

I apologise now for anything i may say that offends anyone...offense is rarely my intention- when someone says they dont like your stuff it should still be useful- at the very least captainredd used the words defensive and disturbing- this is constructive- and true- i regard myself certainly as defensive, what she sees as disturbing however i perceive as thought provoking art, even if at times it covers defensive/disturbing themes. N onetheless im with Voltaire, she has the right to say it, and im nothing if not objective, so i have adjusted the introduction so stumblers and younger clickers can make the choice whether to scroll down or not 

 

also i swear a lot, but generally this is only at people i like, in fact if im not swearing at you its either because i dont get much out of your poetry or I feel youre too young/or fragile or sensitive to field my completely uneccessary abuse (somewhere i have an inner dial set to 'auto care')- sometimes i wish it wasnt there, other times i think it really needs calibrating ...

 

so...cautious now...

   I DON’T KNOW ABOUT POETRY  BUT I KNOW WHAT I LIKE    

                                                                 

 

I have a love for words, in music, in movies, in stories, in poetry , I just love certain words, they dont have to be complicated or flowery, they dont have to be written as poetry- comment or a dialogue can seem poetic to me, how some words sit next to each other

just makes me

FEEL something :

 

 

There may be a great fire in our soul, yet no one ever comes to warm himself at it, and the passers-by see only a wisp of smoke.

Here I love You-

by Pablo Neruda

 

Here I love you.
In the dark pines the wind disentangles itself.
The moon glows like phosphorous on the vagrant waters.
Days, all one kind, go chasing each other.

The snow unfurls in dancing figures.
A silver gull slips down from the west.
Sometimes a sail. High, high stars.
Oh the black cross of a ship.
Alone.

Sometimes I get up early and even my soul is wet.
Far away the sea sounds and resounds.
This is a port.

Here I love you.
Here I love you and the horizon hides you in vain.
I love you still among these cold things.
Sometimes my kisses go on those heavy vessels
that cross the sea towards no arrival.
I see myself forgotten like those old anchors.

The piers sadden when the afternoon moors there.
My life grows tired, hungry to no purpose.
I love what I do not have. You are so far.
My loathing wrestles with the slow twilights.
But night comes and starts to sing to me.

The moon turns its clockwork dream.
The biggest stars look at me with your eyes.
And as I love you, the pines in the wind
want to sing your name with their leaves of wire.

 

Tommy the Cat

Primus

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6859UlzP7Y

 

"I remember as though it were a meal ago"

Said Tommy the Cat as he reeled back to clear whatever foreign
Matter may have nestled it's way into His mighty throat.
Many a fat alley rat had met it's demise while staring point
Blank down the cavernous barrel of this awesome prowling machine.
Truly a wonder of nature this urban predator.
Tommy the cat had many a story to tell,
But it was a rare occasion such as this that he did.

She came slidin' down the alleyway like butter drippin' off a hot biscuit.
The aroma, the mean scent, was enough to arouse suspicion in
Even the oldest of Tigers that hung around the hot spot in those days.
The sight was beyond belief. Many a head snapped for double
Even triple, takes as this vivacious feline made her her way into the
Delta of the alleyway where the most virile of the young tabbys were
Known to hang out. They hung in droves. Such a multitude of
Masculinity could only be found in One place... and that was
O'Malley's Alley. The air was thick with cat calls (no pun intended)
But not even a muscle in her neck did twitch as she sauntered up into
The heart of the alley. She knew what she wanted. She was lookin'
For that stud bull, the he cat. And that was me.
Tommy the Cat is my name and I say unto thee...

Say baby do you wanna lay down by me

say baby do you wanna lay down by my side

say baby do you wanna lay down with me

say baby, say baby.

 

 

The Second Coming

-WB Yeats

 

Turning and turning in the widening gyre

The falcon cannot hear the falconer;

Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;

Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,

The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere

The ceremony of innocence is drowned;

The best lack all conviction, while the worst

Are full of passionate intensity.

Surely some revelation is at hand;

Surely the Second Coming is at hand.

The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out

When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi Troubles my sight:

somewhere in sands of the desert

A shape with lion body and the head of a man,

A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,

Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it

Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.

The darkness drops again; but now I know

That twenty centuries of stony sleep

Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,

And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,

Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

 

Funeral Blues
W. H. Auden

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.

Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message He is Dead.
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.

He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong.

The stars are not wanted now; put out every one,
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun,
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood;
For nothing now can ever come to any good .

 

 

Overheard on a Salt Marsh

Harold Munroe

 

Nymph nymph what are your beads?

 

Green glass goblin. Why do you stare at them?

Give them me

                                       No

 

Give them me. Give them me.

                                                  No

 

Then i will howl all night in the reeds

lie in the mud and howl for them

 

 

Goblin why do you love them so?

 

 

They are better than stars or water

Better than voices of winds that sing,

Better than any mans fair daughter,

Your green glass beads on a silver ring.

 

Hush i stole them out of the moon.

 

Give me your beads, i want them.

                                                 

                                                     No.

 

I will howl in a deep lagoon

for your green glass beads

I love them so.

Give them me, Give them.

 

                                                        No.

 

 

 

 

Inscription at Villers-Bretonneux

by Geoff Page

 

the dead at Villers Brettonneux

rise gently on a slope towards

the sky. the land is trim-skylines

of ploughed earth and steeples; unfallen

rain still hanging in the air;

confusion smoothed away

and everything put back-the village

too (red brick/white sills) in nineteen

twenty.unchanged since. Headstones

speak a dry consensus. Just one

breaks free: Lives lost. Hearts Broken-

And For What?'. I think of the woman

and those she saddened by insisting-

the Melbourne clerk

who must have let it through.

 

 

Bukowski :

 

 

Let it enfold you (excerpt)

the whole thing is my favourite bukowski poem

 

cautiously, I allowed
myself to feel good
at times.
I found moments of
peace in cheap
rooms
just staring at the
knobs of some
dresser
or listening to the
rain in the
dark.
the less I needed
the better I
felt.  

 

 

Confession (excerpt)

 

waiting for death
like a cat
that will jump on the
bed

I am so very sorry for
my wife

she will see this
stiff
white
body
shake it once, then
maybe
again

"Hank!"

Hank won't
answer.

it's not my death that
worries me, it's my wife
left with this pile of
nothing.

TV

 

OK- so TV is an evil word to some-and its an unwarranted backlash-im a bit of a reality Tv junkie as well-ie survivor and amazing race-the shame the shame-my vegan, basket weaving,  morning people friends would be disgusted but if i didnt watch tv i never would have seen Black Adder, Black Books or Spaced three of my favourite TV Series. I grew up on the Goodies and Dr Who not denying a healthy dose of cartoons as well

MOVIES

 

Ive loved movies all my life

 

 I like a lot of mainstream movies, as well as  some 'little' movies but i really only love a movie when it makes me want to go back and see it again-my favourite movies are numerous and probably commonly loved. I could list a thousand but here are some that maybe dont repeat as much in other movielovers selections

 

Whistle Down The Wind (bW-h mills)

The Man Who Never Was (B&W-ft R. Mills)

The Colour Purple

Wizards (old cartoon movie-funny)

Speak

The Edge of Darkness (Mini Series-J W Kilmer)

The Man who would be King(Michael Cane/Sean Connery)

Gambit (Michael Cane/Shirley Macleane)

 

but really i love anything from the Fraggles through to Kill Bill. So suggest away...

I dont really take to the mentality of rich rev heads and Im not sure if  its the men the machines or the music but i gotta say the  Billings and Dakar clips get my inner man -My favourite is the first (3rd in the playlist) Dakar clip,  anyone who can tell me what that music is id appreciate it. Dakar i realise is contentious, still, gets my adrenalin pumping- i lament its passing-i doubt there will be another Dakar...we'll see.Keep your eye out for the hot mullet shot in the first billings hillclimb clip-cant believe that guy makes it in the end

What i truly like about this picture is that its easy to miss the fact that the little girl has a  shotgun. In my opinion she is indeed capable of defending herself, and is possibly directly responsible for the carnage in the mouth of the disturbing but potentially harmless creature/thing  beside her.....

this is my avatar-its about fear-fiver is from watership down by richard addams

 

 

i like this picture because i just get so much out of it, its just such a placid, enjoying the sunny moment kind of picture, but then theres a no robots sign which seems to  indicate that the robot is breaking the rules , and just what does a robot enjoy about sitting on a sunny hillside?...and then theres the dog, which to me is clearly happy-theres no leash visible,  they appear to have a bond,,,love its simplicity

its called bots day off c/- deviant art  im trying to find a link to the artist to put here

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

       It struck me that i love the above artworks

        (deviant art) by imaginism ie big bad bunny eater,

         carrot run and my red bike, respectively because 

        they create fantastic anticipation:

 

                You may find, in time, that having is not so satisfying as

wanting. It is not logical, but it is often true.

On war

I know not with what weapons World War Three will be fought, but World War Four will be fought with sticks and stones.

Work and being something

Once you do something you love, you never have to work again.

Examination of capital punishment has demonstrated that it does not deter crime, is applied disproportionately to minorities and the poor, and in the worst cases kills innocent people...
Adam Ortiz

 

Materialism

The more things you own, the more you are owned by things.
Unknown

 

 Those people who I most admire are those who have turned away from the cluttered materialism and returned to the beauty of the natural world and objects made by human hands, the texture of wood, the woven basket, the mixing of compost into soil in the back garden, a good soup cooking on the stove, an evening around the table with family and friends. Rediscovering this kind of beauty involves a slowing down, doesn't it?

Joanna Macy

 

Technology

 

 

Technological progress is like an axe in the hands of a pathological criminal.
Albert Einstein

 

It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity.
Albert Einstein

 

Ignorance

 

All men are ignorant, just in different fields

Albert Einstein

 

Knowledge and Truth

 

There is no other way of guarding oneself against flattery than by letting men understand that they will not offend you by speaking the truth; but when everyone can tell you the truth, you lose their respect.
Niccolo Machiavelli

 

A good lie will have traveled half way around the world while the truth is putting on her boots.

The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent full of doubt.

People call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat or a prostitute.

this is so erotic, much more so than the previous redhot lady, and

she actually reveals less-i think good poetry can be like that

its not just erotic, its artistic too, grew on me, made me curious,

well i certainly wondered if she had undies on, ..hate the shoes would

have liked her in bare feet but artistically speaking the heel of her shoe

looks like it may just pop one of those balls,- the anticipation thing i like...
