    That brings new meaning to: brain freeze.ca

    Don't be afraid of expressing yourself. I'm not. Fear just keeps you from going places you need to go.

    I just got back to Canada from a week in Ireland and Northern Ireland and had to post something before proceeding. No need to tell me what you think of it . . .

    . . . I like it . . . it has my seal of approval . . . and that's what counts.

    Here it is: Ode To The Mind

    I read it before you took it down. It was honest, and raw. Real. It read like your thoughts pouring out. Sure, you can always edit, polish and improve work, but you already have a key ingredient: truth.

    Nice comments, Oryx. I'm kicking myself for not reading it twice. I liked the format, but usually have to read poetry a few times to fully get it.

    Gone after 2 hours? That's mad. I used to wait days and days for replies when I used to post poems here. Patience is a big part of the process.

    Basically, it was ****e lol.

    I kinda figured that much. I haven't actually written anything since that one. Lol.

    I don't really write for anyone - just to get stuff out of myself.

    Anyway, I've received the feedback I needed to hear. Thanks.

    You didn't leave it up long enough to get anything out of it. At least be honest with people here.

    That wasn't what I said. Next time have the courage of your convictions and leave it up.

    Don't have the courage of my convictions. I knew it was crap, and all I needed to hear was that it was crap. Better to know than always wonder.

    From what I remember, it went something like this this:

    The Fridge
    Open
    Nothing
    Innit
    Ice cubes
    My arse
    Closed
    Mickey Ds
    Again
