1. Meet Efemena Agadama

Playwright and poet Efemena Agadama left this message on my Facebook page, after we connected: No matter how laudable our words might be No matter how evergreen our vegetation of words might seem There are some paths too noble to paint with words And there are people too amazing to honour with words ...you are one of such paths ...you are one of such people Thanks for being a literary light

2. A Productive Morning

Feeling a bit more energetic today. Started the day early, updating web sites and initiating discussions on forums. Reader responses to my question on whether you would want to know if your partner was cheating on you was very interesting, in that, most people on the forums where I posted the question, including FB, foscussed on the potential for disillusionment and pain. It was only later that

3. Ode To Seriously Bad Poetry

For the past couple of days, Baby has been reciting some very bad poetry for me. What she does is she latches on onto a word, and creates sentences around it. The one rule is that the sentences have to rhyme. And in case you're wondering, she knows it's bad. The worse it sounds, the better she likes it. She's even talking about uploading Dak Skroef as a ringtone on her cellphone, just so she

4. A Day Full Of Poetry

The day evolved into a long moment full of poetry. I expected the Eisteddford thing. The event was held at St Benedict's Catholic School For Boys. Baby's school did very well thanks.They earned their diploma, I thought. But then I'm biased.Through the event Baby discovered Kenn Nesbitt's poetry, and she's in love. So she spent most of the evening yesterday reading a selection of his poems for me

6. Looking for a poem: At the supermarket

I’m looking for a poem titled ‘At the Supermarket.” Not sure who the author is. Baby needs it for a school project; she’s taking part a poetry recitation competition [Eisteadford] and part of the learning is for her to learn to research techniques by finding a copy of the poem herself. She has already done regular searches on Google, Yahoo and DMoz, but the poem didn't come up. That's when I

8. Underground there is...

...COLOR waiting to bud!

With spring still weeks away, and my yard still covered in its snowy white blanket, I just started imagining all of the lovely colors still sleeping. Soon the snow will be gone (but not before giving a hefty dose tonight!) and we will be graced with all of those beautiful hues from underground!

By the way, thanks for letting me join all of you here. Please feel free to visit me at my blog & website! I'd appreciate any feedback as I am still new to the world of freelancing! Thanks.

9. underground

The challenge this week at Monday Artday is "underground".
hand me my nosering/show me the mosh pit

Vance Palmer was born September 16, 1893. In the early twentieth century, hundreds of boys like Vance worked as "door boys" or "nippers" in coal mines. Door boys were never over fourteen years of age and sometimes as young as ten. The work of the door boy was monotonous. He had to wake early, dress in clothes that were usually dirty with soot, and be in the mine when the first trip of coal cars entered in the morning. He would need to remain in the mine remain until the last car came out at night. The door boys' duty was to open and shut the door as men and coal cars pass through the door, which controls and regulates the ventilation of the mine. That meant sitting alone in a dark mine passage hour after hour, with no human soul near; to see no living creature except the mules as they pass with their loads, or a rat or two seeking to share his meal. It meant standing in water or mud that covers the ankles, chilled to the bone by the cold drafts that rushed in when the trap door was opened for the mules to pass through. It meant working for fourteen hours—waiting—opening and shutting a door—then waiting again. Passing the time by reading was not an option for door boys, as the only light came from their helmet candle. Whittling and whistling were the boy's chief recreations. Door boys would sometimes fall asleep at their post and fail to open their assigned door. In the darkness, a coal car would crash into the closed door, thus slowing down the mining process. And sometimes, a door boy would be killed by a speeding coal car, while attempting to cross the tracks in the darkness.
The door boy's wages would vary from sixty five to seventy five cents a day, and from this he provided his own lamp, cotton and oil or candle.

In the tube, in London, they often warn you to "Mind the Gap." The Gap is usually there, when you're not minding him, but never seen.
