Poem for Free Mind Introvert Survival

The Dead Poet’s Society seems to have been reawakened by Werewolf of Oz and 242 Mirror Poems and Reflections being available for a free download on Smashwords in July; last day today!

However, more precisely, it was a comment by last week’s host of my eco interview, about poetry stopping her feeling lost and alone (reminding me of Janis Joplin singing about ‘freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose’ on Me and Bobby McGee; written by Foster and Kristofferson) that inspired the above snippet poem with word limit within the maximum allowed for a colourful background on Facebook.

I may have added society after humanity if I had room; or humasociety compounding them; although that may be considered overdoing it and unnecessary by an expert editor?

It doesn’t have the detail and depth of many poems on 242 Mirror Poems, such as the first one, SAGAS: Solipsistic Astronaut Gravitates Agnostic Space but it’s where my mind’s at now… occasionally rising from the dead!

The start reminded me of Jefferson Airplane’s White Rabbit; and my mind may have been playing it in my head; cos it’s one of my favourite songs!

Eco-Tuesday Interview

Thanks to Willow Croft for arranging and conducting an eco interview with me. Great to reminisce about environment, travelling and writing with someone I feel is on the same wavelength on those topics; and dredge up some memories of writers and creations that influenced me, from somewhere in my memory!

Poetry and Philosophy 10th Anniversary

Free ebook to download of peak pagan poetry and philosophy book from this website, before the creative juices dried, and the desire to create structured poetry declined; resulting in the slow and sublime entropy of the last decade (and third poetry collection), and the literary nonsense prose poetry of XaW Files: Beyond Humanity. Then there were the snippets of Facebook colourful background poems, and now, just a big empty void.

Free Werewolf Wizard of Oz Fantasy Poetry Prose Ebook

Free to download in July for 10th anniversary: a book with an eco message showing the nice side of wolves to counter the historic demonising, with a Wizard of Oz fantasy theme mixed with the factual forced migration of British children around the Commonwealth for a century, which had recently been told in the book/film Oranges and Sunshine.

Book summary blurb on Smashwords:

Rebel without a cause, werewolf without claws, Grey travels across all regions of Oz (Australia) in a comedy-fantasy parody of the Wizard of Oz.
It is not witches that hunt the protagonist for a ruby slipper, but monotheists desperate to get their hands on an emerald cork hat. There’s no scarecrow, tin man and cowardly lion searching for brain, heart and courage; instead, we have Elle McPherson, Angry Anderson and Bon Scott inspired characters needing a body, mind and spirit confidence boost.
Will Grey and the intrepid travellers elude their pursuers and reach their destination? This book provides amazing action and surreal comedy in poetry and prose before reaching a cohesive and thrilling ending.
