Poem of the week: WASTED FLOWERS by James C. Floyd

By: Phantom | 27 July, 2010

WASTED FLOWERS

GIVE me no flowers or undue praise
because at last I've come to the end of these days, let no tears of sadness streak your face because we're apart for a while; know that now I reside in a better place, and let that knowledge bring forth a smile.

Your tears belong to this world of mortals who've forgotten how to even pray, the ones who pursue material nothings from day to wasteful day.

Weep for the newborn child

Poem Of The Week - To a Poet: By Alexander Pushkin

By: Phantom | 20 July, 2010
Alexander Pushkin

 




A poet! Do not prize the love of people around,

It soon will pass -- the glorifying hum --

And come a court of fools and laughing of cold crowd --

But you must always stay firm, morose and calm.

By: Phantom | 13 July, 2010
Shortland Street in AKL CBD (No Dr Ropata here tho...)

Couldn't help but show off some of our brand spanking shiney new street poster sites in Auckland City. (Some of our staff have become parents lately too, but we'll get to that later...)

So, firstly we have a superb frame up on Shortland Street, just outside the Cargo Coffee booth. Shortland Street is right in the heart of Auckland City, so a splash of arts and culture amongst the hustle & bustle.

SISTER TO THE SPHINX
 
for Judith Baragwanath
 
 
Some poets long ago might have seen you as
odalisque reclining at one of those old Ponsonby
parties. Oh you were far too upright for that.
You who are sister to the sphinx, how is it then,
