Poems - July 2007

The Silver Stream

July 26th 2007 23:35
Slowly,silently,now the moon
Walks the night in her silver shoon;
This way, and that, she peers, and sees,
Silver fruit upon silver trees;
One by one the casements catch
Her beams beneath the silvery thatch;
Couched in his kennel, like a log,
With paws of silver sleeps the dog;
From their shadowy cote the white breasts peep
Of doves in a silver-feathered sleep;
A harvest mouse goes scampering by,
With silver claws, and silver eye;
And moveless fish in the water gleam,
By silver reeds in a silver stream.

Warning!

When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me,
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves

Rebranding Saves The Day!

It's taken a long time to work it out but Madison Avenue, the home of International Advertising in NYC has come up with the solution to the situation in Iraq. The answer is to rebrand the military so as to ensure more warmth and fuzziness after some of the unpleasantries. The study to achieve this result was commissioned by the US Joint Forces Command.

Anybody wanting to get out of their marriage in Austria now has the opportunity of attending special Divorce Fairs to help them chat with lawyers, car salesmen and anybody else who might be of assistance in smoothing out the whole horrible process. Men and women will be able to attend on different days so as not to reinvigorate old problems.

To recap, the idea of Headline Poetry is to take the letters which make up an existing Newspaper Headline in order and use them as the first letters of new words to create a poem which is relevant to the original story and headline. The following Headline comes from the Sydney Morning Herald on July 11-2007. It leads a story about the Australian Prime Minister's view of things in Iraq.

"NO DOUBT US WILL STAY COURSE IN IRAQ, SAYS PM"
