AWC 09 - DAY 30 FINALE
It’s the end of the AWC month again
This year I’ve tussled and struggled
Coming up with ideas for my pen
Plotting the days ahead for you
So we can increase our literary flow
Helping you, me and our acuity to grow
With daily reading and writing
I hope new skills you’ve gained
I hope you’ve been challenged
I hope you’ve been entertained
Another thirty days
Now draws to a close
I know I’ll shed a… Continue

AWC 09 - DAY 29
I hope you have had a fabulous journey
And spent well has been your precious time
The penultimate day of the AWC
Finds us here today on Day Twenty-Nine
With news of swine flu hitting Spain, Mexico and the USA
Is something strange occurring around the world today?
How could this happen and what is the cause?
Has someone let loose a virus just because?
A worldwide panic could definitely ensue
With vaccines on offer… Continue

AWC 09 - DAY 28
Let’s talk about why people dislike and hate
Here on the AWC Day Twenty-Eight
Why is it we are drawn to certain people and not others?
Do we pick individuals we see as sisters or brothers?
When you look at your friends, do they remind you of you?
Are they always the first you go to when you’re feeling blue?
What makes you drawn to a stranger in the crowd?
What things annoy you to make you cry out loud?
When someone does… Continue

AWC 09 - DAY 27
Stuck between a rock and a hard place
I had a lot to think about on Day Twenty-Seven
I wondered could I have done any more?
And with that decision would I still go to heaven?
I had a situation at work last week
I didn’t really know what to do
I had to think of my team
But also the company interests too.
When you manage other people
Always keep your staff interests key
You have to be business… Continue

AWC 09 - DAY 26
Free Verse Sunday on Day Twenty-Six
For it’s your day today
Do it your way
You can have your say
In the April Write
Let’s fly our kites
I won’t bite
Unless you want me to!
The month is almost through
Just four days remain
What ever comes to the fore of your mind
Use it to unwind and let loose
Just let the keys go
Don’t say no because
It’s time to showcase your flow.

AWC 09 - DAY 25
It’s Saturday and the weekend’s here
I’m so glad for two days
I don’t have a care in the world
With my feet curled
Under me
I can do what I want
I might sleep and dream in rhyme
Waking to write a masterpiece
That could fade the instant I open my eye
Or I could try to bake a cake
Or cook an exotic dish
Or I could wish
I wasn’t so tired
I could wish
For a sunny day to sit
Read a favorite… Continue

AWC 09 - DAY 24
It’s like laying foundations of a building
One brick at a time
As each day comes and passes
The AWC grows another line.
Circumstances made me the way I am
The thought processes I make
The internal moves I take
Are the paths I choose
To make me better
A go-getter
On Day Twenty-Four I wrote a letter
To myself
With my knowledge
Of future wealth
And wealth of future knowledge
I sent it… Continue

AWC 09 - DAY 23
Plethoric innocence abounds around you
You have no need yet
For deep thoughts to compromise
In the innocence of youth.
How a frown can
So suddenly change to joy?
How doubt shrouded in your eyes
Can change to the wonderment
Of your interest and surprise?
How in our adult observations
We long to recapture our own
Virility of life
Virginity of childhood…
Unsullied and unbridled… Continue

AWC 09 - DAY 22
Day Twenty-Two, was stuck in rush hour again
Jumped in the car to join the early morning queues
Driving listening to the radio
Enjoying some old school tunes
On the way on the M4, doing a Heathrow run
Trying to catch the flight as in late it comes
Chugga lugga chugga freight trucks roll on by
Over take on the inside lane
That’s a no-no so why do they try?
Where are the police when you need them most?
Probably… Continue

AWC 09 - DAY 21
Day Twenty-One and I reminisced
Thinking back on my childhood bliss
Six weeks holiday far away from school
Doing new things I thought was so cool
Going to Carnaby Street to buy some new shoes
Chilling in Oxford Street HMV listening to the Blues
Waking up late and lounging throughout the day
Phoning my mates to hear what they had to say
I remember the first time I flew by myself on a plane
The day was too hot and… Continue

AWC 09 - DAY 20
Going to the movies
Is my favourite feat
I love the hotdogs and popcorn flowing
For me it’s a delectable treat
Going to the cinema all by myself
It gives me moments to treasure
To appreciate the roar of cinematic wealth
Getting away from the grind of the day to day
Getting lost in the action and plots
Visiting fantasy worlds with exotic creatures
Only hindered by the imagination
Where fiction meets… Continue

AWC 09 - DAY 19
The AWC for me is a passionate thing
I challenged myself and others
To join in a writing ring
Setting an erudite wheel in motion
As one posts so another starts the locomotion
Free Verse Sunday on Day Nineteen
Here I go again penning up, down and in between
Handing over control of my digital wheel
Genuflecting to words as I kneel
In the church of books
Searching out what ever comes to your mind
Let it… Continue

AWC 09 - DAY 18
Day Eighteen and it’s been a busy week
I’ve had lots and lots to do
I’ve prepared future days of the April Write
And fit in a few new features for Teen Caribbean too!
The roads have been really clear this week
The kids have been off school
Getting to work has been a breeze
When they’re back doing lessons it might not be so cool!
During the school holidays what do you do with your kids?
If you don’t have any of your… Continue

AWC 09 - DAY 17
On Day Seventeen if you could be a season
What would it be?
Spring, Summer or Autumn
Or would you be cold and wintery?
I think I’d be Winter
Because I can cause others to cosy up
I want them to generate and feel the heat
Wrapping tighter and able to get warmed up
In woolly hats and thick luscious scarves
Fur-lined coats and deep down mittens
Their tired eyes will droop heavily
Because I’d make them have… Continue

AWC 09 - DAY 15
Day Fifteen and I’m half way there
Breezing through the month without a care
Issue after issue, trend after trend
Like bamboo I’ll grow and bend
Move like the wind
Graceful like trees
Cooling in the heat
A sweltering 90 degrees
When the rain falls
My bough won’t break
I’ll come running
Like a thunder quake
I’m sharing today what was just on my mind
How would you cope if you were temporarily… Continue

AWC 09 - DAY 14
Day Fourteen’s the day for giving
You’ve had many days to read up
To consider what’s been penned
To contributing to filling a half empty cup
09’s the year for living
For doing things right
For trying new things
You only ever dreamed of
In the middle of the night
Go that one step further
Than you’ve ever been before
You’ll see when you achieve it
You’ll feel that you can do so much more.
Today’s… Continue

AWC 09 - DAY 13
What would your solution be?
To a generation lost?
Teachers frightened to teach
Parents mourning the cost
Of not being able to discipline
As they should
How we wish some would
To keep babies as babies
For just a little longer
Teach them to be emotionally stronger
Before being let loose on the world
Clipped wings before they’ve had a chance to unfurl
Day Thirteen starts when the sun rises
A new… Continue

AWC 09 - DAY 12
Resurrection and rebirth
Is what this special day should be about
But it’s taken a such commercial aspect
Cards and expensive chocolates are now the clout.
It’s a day of rest for me
The weather has been dull and bleak
But writing the AWC for you
Keeps me going throughout the week
On Day Twelve, Easter Sunday
It’s free verse time again
The next post sets the topic
What ever flows from your pen.

AWC 09 - DAY 11
Why do dogs go to heaven?
Why do bullies think it’s cool to rule?
Why do camels have humpbacks?
Why do we do the things we do?
Lots of things I ponder on,
Trying to keep the AWC alive.
Fleeting topics come and go,
But I try to choose the ideas that will thrive.
Day Eleven and I requested new friends
I wondered if they’d come and add to the flow
I wondered if they’d enjoy what they see
I wondered if… Continue

AWC 09 - DAY 10
It’s Day Ten and the chocolate fest is here
Giving Easter gifts to those people for whom you care
Is there something about you that you’d like to change?
Is there something about your body you’d like to rearrange?
A little Botox or a nip tuck here or there?
Get a brand new smile, with a porcelain veneer?
If I could change something
I think it might be my thighs
But I wouldn’t resort to surgery
I’d ride my bike, get… Continue
