I am 25 years old and have just moved to New York City to study my masters in Educational Theatre at NYU.

It’s a very exciting time, full of crazy new people, smells, sights and experiences. Things are happening every moment that move and touch me to the
extent that I am so overwhelmed by it all.

I have been writing for what seems like a lifetime and most of it to be honest is sentimental, rubbish drivel but I like to think that once in a while I am capable of producing something worthwhile. And when I do, I will pass it your way!

I have mainly posted my poetry on Urbis. A very small selection of all the crap that I have ever written. But with the commencement of this new program, I intend to write much more drama, so maybe I…

  The lights of Manhattan move me. From here, in Long Island they seem a million miles away but I know differently. We shall be reunited soon. I feel hope, power and resolution. With every twinkle, every flicker of a switch on and off, my aspirations will be fulfilled. The angels that illiuminate the skyscrapers beckon me towards my destiny.

I stare at the cool greyness of the tombstone. Your name in bold not carefully crafted by a solitary human hand. More like the ugly mass production of machines. Lacking essence of love and life. Upon reflection, very fitting for a corpse.

I sit on a subway. Days ago I would have called this the Underground. Metro Subway Underground. Encapsulates the ever apparent difference from what I left behind. I lost my balance. Language, my crutch, pulled out from under me. Replaced with Americanisms. I hobble up escalators trying to recycle the trash I hold inside into something that fits here. Now I write papers, not essays. Go to movie theatres and watch projections of others' lives, wondering when mine will begin to resemble these sm...

Stuck. Evading reality, immersed in metaphors.

The sacred scarab beetle rolls the sun over the horizon as the light grapples and struggles to hold on. The intensity of the orange glow illuminates the tops of the trees. Silver halos glistening car roofs blinding. I long for the still anonymity of night. The beautiful radiance of the day merely prolongs the anticipation of Seeing you.

Limericks / On Gimmericks
Brilliantly done. Coherent and good sense of rhythm. Follows the guidlines for a limerick and explains itself well. It brought a smile to my face, especially the last line :)
I really liked the eclectic use of language you have used. Brilliant formations of words put together. I would say, punctuate it. You have formed it well into coherent sentences, but there's no punctuation to symbolise pauses and pace. Some people tend not to use punctuation in poetry, preferring to let their words flow and merge. But I sincerely believe that it helps. It formats your words into their own phrases and allows the reader to read without thinking about when to stop. It enhances m...
hahahaha @ you comments. I happen to like this very much. It seems to suggest a life of violence give up in favour of a life of writing. I might be off the mark, but that's what those words are saying to me. And if your meaning was different, then it's even better because it means you are opening more opportunities for your words to be understood if people interpret them differently. I like it very much!
I like it very much. 6 short words, so many possible stories a reader can conjure in their mind. That's the beauty if writing to show and to let the reader make up their own mind. You have opened up the door to so many scenarios and we can dream away. Well done x
