I'm doing a thing on twitter where we post a small poem (under 140 characters) Some people do haiku, but I tend towards fragmentary three line verse

Twitter Fragments


i
Silent house, paused between sleep and wake
and I the ghost, that passes in that space
part guardian, part spectre at the feast.


ii
Cold morning grey competes with duvet warmth
sounds of stirring city siren-calling me to work
summer, in the town beside the sea

iii
Dublin is back in the bosom of winter,
grey skies reflected in slick pavement puddles,
grimly chilled by driving rain

iv
Dead weight of afternoon, pressing down,
keeping me at my desk
oh for the freedom that came with summers past!

I can go weeks without buying a single CD and then suddenly several artisits will appear on the scene at once and I become HMV's best friend. I used to say CD WOW's best friend but as I am no longer abusing my credit card it's HMV and cash or no cds at all.
This week i went mad and bought
Laura Izibor
Melody Gardot
Imelda May

Laura and Imelda are Irishwomen; Imelda is from Dublin and both have a fresh and exciting sound. Laura is the cool bluesy answer to Winehouse and Imelda is a Rockabilly chick. Enjoy!

Thanks muchly to 7rin for the invitation code....I have been dying to see what was the deal with Dreamwidth for a while now..I need another online journal like a hole in the head and yet I find myself strangely drawn lol.
Looking forward to having a good old explore of the place - I also ahve to sort out a real avatar while I'm at it. I uploaded my standard "here i am " one.
anyway, just breaking the ice with a post - have to have a proper look around, criticise the wallpaper, replace the carpets etc
