Island of weak faith
Break down my walls of confusion, I'll struggle through these webs of doubt. Give me a place to go, I'm exhausted wandering on this island of a weak faith. --BlossomMonyei--...

Premium Member Father Drinan
Father Drinan took his class to Coney Island Beach, He thought the sand and ocean could also teach. They ran to Nathan's hot dogs, then sunk in deck chairs, Until a hungry seagull took them unawares. (bridge) The seagull grabbed a hotdog from poor Joey McBride, A clever attack, swooping in from the side. The kids all laughed, Joey let out a...

Norwegian Island
We arrived beneath the Arctic night, where shadows speak and snow forgets. The hour was late — the sky, without stars — and silence held its breath. They led us down through frozen stone, where time stood still in vaults of seed, the cradle of the world encased in frost, beneath the Svalbard grief. There, they gathered — men with hands of power, voices...

Premium Member Pandora’s Box
(“Pandora’s Box”, 2014, original pen and ink and oil) Pandora’s Box I don’t know who she was, What she did or how she did it, And maybe as the first it was sublime Or maybe she was just another woman With the kind of perfect snatch To launch a thousand ships On a sea of broken hearts, But Pandora certainly left her...

Robert Louis Stevenson - 1850-1894
In an old-time real-book-with-pages feel in his day, Robert Louis Stevenson wrote 'Treasure Island', in his own inimitable way, and tho' I know I may be wrong, he could not have been pulling Long John Silver's leg, as John would not have had a leg to stand on, for, with his crutch (plus parrot), and I quote, 'He had still a foot...

Philip Island Cowes in June 2025
2025.06.15 It was quite a while ago, I came here and wrote, "BB was not here" and "JJ is here On Queen Birthday 10 Jun 2024". These words were written on the sand On the the shores of both sides of the pier. As time passed on, JJ sat and watched The waves washed up onto the words, Slowly encroached, engulfed and wiped Them...

Question Of The Ages
Why did the chicken cross Abbey Road? Because it was there, but which came first? Obviously, not the egg, as it has no legs. The first chicken to cross the road, feeling peckish, not one to throw in the towel, when told, 'Walk, don't run a fowl,' and, faster than a speeding pullet, or so it is said, was one giant leap for poultry, one small step for...

Premium Member Rare and Stark is the Isolated Island
Rare and stark is the isolated island In its heart - its bipolar mood And it stokes within the imagination A fire - a want of pursuit. Its knobby fingers reach out to a black sea - Bringing roamers to some land's end; Its fjords entice sojourners in for relief ...

Insomniac Island
This entropy, it's endless. I'm captive in your void of sleep. My eyes are strung open, My hands clung to you But I'm drifting off, I'm drifting far away, Away from here, and as hard as I grasp onto you, I know I won't be back. Every time it happens. I can't think straight, I am so far off, And if I can't be me, I can't...

Premium Member Planet Neanderthal Island
I must report that the Professor of Anthropology was more interested in how extinct prehistoric man, more specifically, Neanderthals, lived and why they didn’t survive. They seem bigger with bigger brains from the fossilized records. To her, it just didn’t make sense. So, she bought an island in an undisclosed location (classified)...
