A Plagiaristic Poem From The Shelves Of The Cozy Dove
Introduction I was having a drink in the Cozy Dove which has some well-stocked bookshelves, there are a lot of books about cricket, but I thought there might be enough to create a sonnet. I momentarily thought about an acrostic using the pub's name but then that might be too difficult, especially with the "Z", though there are books that start with the letter "Z".

Being Perfect
Introduction A Vocal Creator Friend Grz Colm made a comment on the story below which inspired this piece. These are just some thoughts about how we can all be perfect in lots of small ways. Things may not be technically perfect but they will be perfect for us.

The Wild Lawn
Introduction I was always under the impression that lawns should be kept tidy and only have grass, closely cut on them. I have heard of moss lawns, and playing fields, tennis courts, croquet lawns, and bowling greens obviously need to be kept well trimmed and tidy but in recent years my attitude towards grassed lawns and their surrounding has been changing, maybe even evolving.

Get Up And Go
Introduction Sometimes you want to do things but it maybe feels a bit too much. It feels like your "get up and go" has got up and gone. Today I was feeling like that but this is what happened. Another voice hit me with the Nike mission statement, "Just Do It" so I took to the road and just did it.

The Business Model
Introduction I was listening to "Masters Of War" by Bob Dylan and it just made me think of the state our world is in at the moment. This story is anything but hopeful and is not the sort of thing that I enjoy writing. It observes how evil so often triumphs because people allow it to exist in the name of fairness or due to complete apathy.

All Tomorrows Parties
Introduction This morning I was in a dark place and wanted to write about it, but I always feel that if I write something like that it is wrong. To combat this I look for positive things to share with people and to try and generally be uplifting for myself and all my friends.
