Braking News
by Harminder Nagi My poetry style is straightforward, and I have a particular fondness for rhyme, as I come from the old school. I like to put a little humour into my poems, and I hope the readers will enjoy the same as I do.

Crow
by Guy Jones Crow watches, sees. Girls sees also, reflected in crows eyes... This poem seems to reflect on the delicate nature of life and death, of permanence and transience, of questions left unanswered, or answered only by the call of the sea. click here
