At our backs the castle door,
others feel free to ignore
this extension of extended metaphor
On the porch swings where we sit,
quick of tongue and fleet of wit
games and poems to submit
Open books in open hands,
poetry from other lands,
lyrics from our favorite bands
A telling word, a single note,
and meaning in a random quote:
significance of what we wrote
Different cultures and aesthetic,
for this we're not apologetic!
We are just beyond poetic!
Killers, X Files, Broken Bride
never are these words denied,
here they often all collide
from the early light of dawn,
as we used to, still wait on
the random poetry anons
Jack White, movies, TBS,
have you wisdom to profess?
Here, the answer's always "Yes"
Here we play, by words transfixed,
Haiku and pop culture mixed,
nothing broken, nothing fixed
Here is truth and here's creation
joy and horror, pain, elation,
in a story, small salvation
And here is laughter, here we're free
to be whatever we may be
and though others may disagree,
we greet the castle, greet its lord
and do so of our own accord
and shun the frothing, rabid horde
Be it known I'd so much rather
read my friends and all their "blather,"
on the porch here, where we gather.

Go With The Flow
This River Is Wild
Leaves are falling down
On the beautiful ground
I heard a story from the man in red
He said the leaves are falling down
Such a beautiful sound so I think you
Son, I think you better go ahead
But you always hold your head up high
Cause it's a long, long, long way down
This town was meant for passing through
But it ain't nothing new
Now go and show them
That the world stayed round
But it's a long, long, long way down
You better run for the hills before they burn
Listen to the sound of the world
And watch it turn
I just want to show you what I know
And catch you when the current lets you go
Or should I just get along with myself
I never did get along with everybody else
I've been trying hard to do what's right
But you know I could stay here all night
And watch the clouds fall from the sky
This river is wild
This river is wild

Solly's Random Poem of The Day:
The Cherry-Blossom Wand
I WILL pluck from my tree a cherry-blossom wand,
And carry it in my merciless hand,
So I will drive you, so bewitch your eyes,
With a beautiful thing that can never grow wise.
Light are the petals that fall from the bough,
And lighter the love that I offer you now;
In a spring day shall the tale be told
Of the beautiful things that will never grow old.
The blossoms shall fall in the night wind,
And I will leave you so, to be kind:
Eternal in beauty, are short-lived flowers,
Eternal in beauty, these exquisite hours.
I will pluck from my tree a cherry-blossom wand,
And carry it in my merciless hand,
So I will drive you, so bewitch your eyes,
With a beautiful thing that shall never grow wise.

Morning :)
Have a lovely day!
I am so pissed off this morning. I am going to bite my tongue for now.
Hope you all have a lovely Monday!
hey guys,
Yeh what i load of bullshit, but it didnt really surprise me though. oh well, what can you do.
FSC, sorry you are ill and your gil is ill. I hope you get better, i hate being ill. i think i am starting with a cough.
Jules, sorry it happened again, hope you are ok.
solly, *waves*, i had a nice coffee and nice to text you lol.
smok, did you get my hug yesterday?
rw, i miss your severed toe and that is saying something.
Hasd anyone heard off miss t lately?
Hiya guys! Fimble Ho, thank you for what you said both here and there. ^_^ Solly, that is a lovely poem; it's right up my alley. RW, well, we'll see about that. Princess, I bit mine so hard it bled, but one wants to remain the classy party. ^_^ FASC, I'm sorry you're coughing up slime.
Hope you guys are hanging in there. I am! :D
jules, can you get on aim for 5 mins?
Oops, I hope you are still around! i am going to sign on for about five minutes then. I haven't fed or cleaned the outside aviary yet so I can't be too long. ^_^ I hope you are still on though!
Hi everyone, just a quickie before I crawl back under my quilt.
I hope you are all well. I hope you all had a great halloween and that none of you have succumbed to any flu like illness. Sorry to hear that you are sick too FASC. I hope you don't get it too bad.
I was hoping that my flu wouldn't mutate into some kind of computer/human hybrid virus and get you all. It seems that you are all OK, phew!
I am feeling slightly better and hope to back chatting with you before the week is out.
I miss you all.
xxxxxx
*waves to fim* How you doin crazy chick?
Hi guys.
Sorry about your IP stuff going out there Kapunua. Scary business that stuff is. Please, please be careful. There are some stalkery creepy people out there.
I figured that I'm tracked here, but I've already told you guys where I'm from anyway. I trust that's between us.
I'm going back to eating my chocolate.
I got yelled at, spilled lunch on my new dress, someone threw my bagel on the floor, and I paper cut my fingers.
It's been one of those mornings.
Be good er'ry body.
'Niccula, absolutely 100% I trust Solly with my ISP (not that it matters now) and you can, too. Noe of us would ever even think to release info of that nature; I promise you.
I'm sorry your morning has sucked so hard. O_O
Everybody has one of those suck-ass days. It was just my turn.
I don't track at my blog. Don't know how, don't care either. I don't get much traffic as it is anyway. If I want to know where you're from I'll ask, or hope that you're honest enough with me to tell me.
Blind faith? Yeah, I guess so.
Hi Errbody! *waves*
I have just been catching up and I pretty much skimmed everything. I don't know what to say. It never ends. Jules, your info should not have been posted and I'm sorry that happened to you.
hi guys!!
shizzashizza shiz!
don't like mayo's much at the moment!!!!!!!!
you know i almost feel like not bothering with any of it all.
i feel sad for mayo. he is the most beautiful writer i have encountered, in terms of how he is, kinda down to earth normal and then beautifully eloquent and just ALL emotions and so fucking perfect, so honestly i think he is pretty damn fucking fab! and his beautiful words get mixed with SHIT and it seems so wrong, to me anyway.
just saying.
oh and The Killers are playing The Royal Albert Hall tonight!! I am taping the radio on my TV cos that is possible!! clever.
still snotty nosed, coughing it up etc etc. thanks for the kind words bunnies.
love to you all!
hey lucy!!!
cannot stop, that time of night. hope you are good?
oh and Russel Brand and Jonathan Ross???!!!
really gotta go!
the killers are playing mr brightside now!! nice!
oooh I love that song! I know, the BBC2 scandal! See you again soon here on the Pork FASC!
Russell
laters lucy!!
Barack Obama's Grandmother died today. that's so sad. she missed the election by one day.
Oh, that is sooo sad!
FASC! I wanna see The Killers!
I am so frustrated.
Hey Smok! Oh anon how sad!
Hiya Lucy! How's you?
Not bad for a Monday! It's nice to unwind on the Pork after a long day at work! Now, lemme try some of that candy corn Solly was telling me about. Or failing that, grits. I'll try anything once! 0_o
I love me some grits. With lots of cheese and salt. Yum. :)
Hee-hee.
I want some watermelon. And there ain't no watermelons this time of year. Wahahaha!
Really? We have watermelons all year round, but I suppose that's cos we import all our fruit! Bwahaha
Awww! Well, send me some! ^_^
Dudes, are we having BS for supper too?
Again?
I will send you your own little..er..big...fruit basket with a huge pink bow on it!
Actually I was talking about that to my mum the other day. She was shocked that I didn't know what fruit and veg was in season, but because we can buy everything all year round I don't think of fresh produce as being seasonal.
It looks that way Solly. But we can have watermelon for dessert!
Watermelon in a can? Are you for real?
*shudders*
o_O
Happy November!
We're having BS for supper? Canned watermelon?
I guess I've always said I'll try anything once....
LOL! No it's not in a can, it's whole and everything just like regular watermelon, it's just it's on our shelves in our supermarkets all year round.
*jumps up and down*
Yayness! Katherine!
Tell me all about your event! How did it go?
Oh is it one of those baby watermelons?
Hiya Solly!
The best stuff is the packet fruit. The fruit is dehydrated in powder form like astronauts have and you just add water and it goes back into solid form again. My favourite is the powdered pineapple.
Lucy Bean,
WTF? You are not an astronaut! Why are you eating powdered fruit?
Hi Katherine! How are you? I'm frustrated. O_o
I'm frustrated too, but oh well, oh well, oh well.
Smoke, you got called a tool, right?
Hi Solly, Smoke. Nice to meet you, Lucy.
The Parlour went fabulously. About sixty people showed up overall and everyone said they had a great time.
Tamago made more friends than I did. :)
I planned the next one but I ran into some weirdness with my business partner so we'll see how it goes.
What's up, everybody? What's been going on?
What are you guys frustrated about?
I know but I can pretend. All the big supermarkets sell powdered fruit in the UK. It's very popular cos it doesn't take up much room in the fridge. It doesn't go back to being fruit shape til you add water. I have powdered pineapple in my fridge right now. The powdered watermelons are good too. Now I am craving fruit.
Powdered fruit? WTF?
Lucy, are you joking? Are you serious?
Powdered fruit?
Katherine,
Will you have another event at the same place or will go to another town?
I'm frustrated about the same ol shit that's always frustrating as fuck.
Lucy Bean,
I will all you Space Cadet Lucy Bean from now on.
Space Cadet Lucy Bean,
You do realize you're not craving real fruit, right? You are craving fun dip.
I'm glad it went well, Katherine! ^_^
Just bullshit. And yes, I was called a child and a tool.
I snickered just a little bit. I thought it was funny.
Fun Dip! LOL!
Deadly serious, ask any of us Brits. Miss T and FASC will tell you. They expand up to their regular size when you add water. We don't have seasonal fruit and veg over here, we get everything all year round.
Smoke,
What kind of tool are you? I bet it's sharp and pointy and goes vrrrrmmm vrrmmmm or something like that.
Okee, Solly. I'm guessing then it's stuff here, not in your regular life.
Well, I went to a concert in Toledo, Ohio for Halloween and a couple acquaintances I made there want me to have one in Cincinnati, Ohio.
I've also had requests to have one in Buffalo and Ithaca. They are both in New York.
So, we'll see! No money to be made, but that's alright. I'm just hoping that when I start taking it to places like Cincinnati, etc. maybe I can get some donations for gas money.
Oh, Smoke, so you are like those Bob The Builder tools.
Yeah, Smoke. We ALL know what a child you are.....
*throws up hands in air*
Miss Lucy, I just googled powdered fruit.... You are being silly!
And I wasn't even born blond. o_0
Cool Katherine, I hope eventually you can expand and venture out and about and have one in Georgia!
Did you dress up for the concert?
Smok, I bet you are a power tool! And I bet you are cordless too!

You know it. ^_~
LOL, Lucy!
I'll be back in a bit!
Space Cadet Lucy Bean,
I bet you are a powdered tool!
Bwahahah!
I did.
I always have these weird themes for Halloween. God forbid I just dress up cool like any sane person.
So the theme for this year was, "Something I will never be."
And I made a perfectly normal bride dress. No blood or gore or irony.
Just a bride.
I really liked it, actually. And I kept getting all of these genuine compliments, which was even weirder.
What about the rest of you?
Did you take pictures? I wanna see you in the bride gown!
Nah, my town is lame. Adults don't really dress up and we had to celebrate one day early on account of the high school football and bbq festival.
I swear. This is real life folks, I can't make this shit up.
Bwahaha! I didn't dress up but I got a visit from a frog which I took to be totally symbolic. ^_^
That made me laugh out loud for real!
BBQ festival?
I think some of the acquaintances I made will send pics, hopefully.
Powdered Lucy Bean,
You were very brave, the way you courageously picked up the little critter and placed him outside. I admire you.
I'm pretty sure I would have just stood there and screamed.
What would you have done if he had hopped between your legs whilst you were taking a piss?
Yes, a National BBQ festival where those folks come from all over the world to cook BBQ up 10,000 different ways and compete for prizes! Yeehaaww!
WHAT?
Solly, I'm looking this up.
This. Is. Amazing.
Only the U.S. of A, my friends.
Well my dad said I should have kissed him and I was all 'eeeeew he's been down the toilet!' (my dad then asked if that meant I would have kissed him if he had got in from the back door? hmmmmmm)
But since it happened I now peer cautiously down the toilet bowl before I sit down because that very thought crossed my mind. If he had tried to jump out while my arse was sitting on the loo I would be having therapy right now!
Douglas, GA, right?
"Sting Kill" kids' BBQ competition.
Sting Kill????
Okay, it's a bee sting remedy.
But. Wow.
Frogs creep me out, Lucy. I dunno why, but they do. Something about the hopping I guess.
Yep, Katherine, that's the one!
I talked to him for a few minutes first and I asked him to refrain from jumping cos I was gonna pick him up and if he jumped when I touched him I would scream and neither of us would like that very much. He obliged and then winked at me! ^_~
I love frogs!
I'm sorry if you are now damaged forever, Ms. Bean.
Solly, you're actually not the first person I've met who is terrified of frogs. I find it so interesting considering that unless they're a poison frog they can't even hurt you.
On a random note I feel the urge to announce.... A dolphin sheds its skin every two hours.
I've checked multiple sources now.
I'm sorry. I just can't get over this.
I'm terrified of rats too, and don't tell me they can't hurt me, because if it's between me and the rat, the rat will eat me to survive.
*shudders*
I didn't know that about dolphins. That's pretty cool.
I'll concede, the rat can bite you.
Do any big animals scare you? Seem to have a theme with little guys.
I see there's now alot more activity here than there used to be.
It's good in a way, I guess. I don't really see too many trolls posting anything over here. Funny, good but funny how they keep all over at the Main place.
Katherine, horses scare me. I can ride them and whatnot but my knuckles go white cos I am usually holding the reins with sheer terror!
Oh Katherine, they just lurk and copy and paste, so say something really really good.
*waves to the audience*
Really?
We're in da spotlight?
Ooooo!
Lemme compose myself.
*is excited*
*plops down and waits for Katherine to do something fantastic*
That Mayo. I bet he's Mikey Way and that keyboardist guy playing a joke on us all and the band laughs at what they put up.
But then I heard that actually Kapunua sent an email to SS which he then copied to me stating that Farawaysoclose and Solly were really Mikey Way and the Keyboardist guy and they photoshopped the pics from Florida to look like they were two nice ladies.
Lucy,
What the hell? I got dust in my eye. Wait a minute...are those powdered boobs?
But oh noes!
I said that SS emailed me!
Let me take it back.
Oh no! It's too late!
But then I heard a rumor that SS was really PP but that PP was really me in disguise as a f***ed up girl living in Rochester NY whose address is 201d Charwood Circle Rochester NY 14609.
Yes, yes they are!
*adds water*
Look at them puppies grow!
*covers mouth in shock and awe*
Oh noez, all the super duper top seekruts are being let loose.
Lucy,
What do you do to make them shrink?
OH GOD.
My address got posted!
I am in so much danger from the internet!
Now I'm going to have a parade of stalkers around my apartment and all this hatemail sent my way.
But maybe that won't really happen because that's not my address at all because I'm really Redrum pretending to spread rumors about my identity to distract from the fact that I'm really a florist living in Wichita that once met Frank Iero at a bus stop in San Francisco.
And what I'm really hiding is that Frank Iero is really Lucy Bean who is developing a top secret UK thingie where breasts can grow and shrink as easily as puffer fish!
But then I gave away too much, because we all know that Gerard Way has a thing for squid and puffer fish.
Oh no! How did I know that?
A florist! Niiiiiiiiiiice. I've been looking into flower arranging and what not.
Wait, Katherine, errummm, are you? No, you can't possibly be....
So I guess I have to come clean and confess that in reality Toujours, Elena, Paperheart, RW, Mustard and PPU are all Frank Iero and the reason I know this....
Is because-
The reason I suffered such a freakish obsession with the G. Way....
Is because I am Gerard Way.
Flobots at Mayo's.
Makes me think of PPU.
Makes me have a sad.
you are BOB!
Duh-duh-DDUUUHHHHH!!!!!!!
Close, Ms. Bean. Or should I say....
BOB BRYAR himself????
I'm sorry guys, I waited so long.
Really, I am.
But you know. The record label... The flowers... the squid....
*rips mask off face*
I'd have gotten away with it too, if it hadn't been for those pesky kids!
I know.
I KNOW this will soon be posted at Mayo's.
My privacy will be destroyed.
But Lyn just called and said she gave me permission to do it.
You know, I gotta make sure I get permission now....
I'm so happy being married!
All this talk of powdered fruit and dudes in bands and conspiracies and secrets and frogs and bbq has made me hawwngry!
I'm gonna go find something to eat!
I'll be back later!
Katherine, if you're gone when I get back, I will see you in my dreams! Mwah! Mwah!
It's almost midnight here so it's time for me to hit the scratchy hay!
Love you guise! Night night x
Ha, Bob!
Face it, you can't hide from me!
That smell of cracked drumsticks and sweat wafts over the internet.
what a supportive wife
G'night, everyone!
