AWC 09 - DAY 30 FINALE

AWC 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

AWC 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

AWC 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

AWC 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

AWC 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

AWC 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

AWC 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

AWC 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

AWC 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

AWC 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

AWC 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

AWC 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

AWC 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

AWC 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

Day Sixteen and there are things I don’t know

Stuck in a dilemma, what should I do?

Should I say something?

Should I stay quiet?

Should I act like I don’t know?

Should I be hero?

Should I be a coward?

Should I be the one to pay?

Should I be like everything’s okay?

Should I pick up the phone and call?

Should I be the one who threw the curve ball?

Should I grass up my mate?

Should I be the one to… Continue

AWC 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

NPR's All Thing's Considered

How The Civil Rights Movement Was Covered In Birmingham

There's a stark difference between how the national press covered the events of 1963 in Birmingham and how Birmingham's papers covered their own city. Audie Cornish talks with Alabama journalist Hank Klibanoff, co-author of The Race Beat, about the disparity.

House Passes Bill That Would Ban Abortions After 20 Weeks

The legislation is one of the most far-reaching abortion bills in decades and follows the May murder convictions of Philadelphia abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell. The bill, which would ban nearly all abortions starting 20 weeks after fertilization, is unlikely to ever become law.

Home-Schooled Students Fight To Play On Public School Teams

Roughly half of U.S. states have passed laws making home-schooled students eligible to play for their local school teams. But in Indiana, an attempt to find a middle ground hasn't calmed the debate.

Change Is On The Horizon For London's Famous Skyline

The city of London boasts centuries of architectural history. But a building boom is threatening the city's traditionally low-rise aesthetic and the views of some of that history. Critics — including UNESCO — are very worried about London's changing skyline.

A Look Back At How Newspapers Covered The Civil Rights Movement

This week Audie Cornish travels to Birmingham, Ala., to revisit some of the stories that shaped that city and the nation in the summer of 1963. Today she talks with Hank Klibanoff, co-author of The Race Beat about how the newspapers covered the civil rights struggle fifty years ago.

Patients Lead The Way As Medicine Grapples With Apps

Smartphone apps can help count calories or detect a heart attack. People are embracing them to manage many aspects of their health. But medical apps are largely unregulated now, so there's no easy way to be sure which ones are trustworthy and which ones aren't.

Mexico's Tech Startups Look To Overcome Barriers To Growth

In the past decade, Mexico's tech industry has flourished, growing three times faster than the global average. Most of that growth has been fueled by demand from the United States. But as Mexico's startups strive to make it in foreign markets, they say they need more engineers and ways to finance their growth.

Letters: Mozart's Violin And The Price Of Potatoes

Robert Siegel and Melissa Block read emails from listeners about Mozart's violin and the price of potatoes.

Congressman On NSA: Checks And Balances Prevent Abuse

Melissa Block talks to Republican Congressman Mac Thornberry, who serves on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. He talks about the testimony by leaders of the National Security Agency, the Department of Justice and the FBI on Tuesday morning. He's been supportive of the NSA surveillance program, saying it's not only legal, but vital to security.

Brazilian Leaders Take Conciliatory Tone Toward Protesters

Protests have erupted in Brazil over the past week. On Monday, there were tens of thousands of demonstrators on the streets of cities across the country. And again on Tuesday, demonstrations have continued. Unlike in Turkey, Brazil's leaders are adopting a conciliatory tone.
