WRITING GROUP
FOR 1998/99
EMPTY
My fridge has no story as it's deaf, dumb and mute. And it's blind in one eye and can't see in the other 'and human kindness is overflowing'.

LOUD SOUND
Crashing heavy metal rocks
Sucks me in and makes me cough
Rocks my boots
Into my socks

A boy had a dinosaur named Rex
He wondered how it would have sex
So he asked his mother
Then queried his brother
And wondered who to ask next

BREAKFAST
Compote of fruit
Coffee to suit
No conversation
Devastation
What are we doing?
No hope of brewing.

MEDICATIONS
Medication dulls the brain,
And is no good for the system
We must accept humanity, freedom, love
And subjective reality
A creative society
Friendships with people
We are writers and we are good.

AUTUMN
The earth having been baked in the late summer fire gave up its heat to the soft rain until, in return, the trees burnt their leaves in a symbol of rest to flutter down in chilling, sometimes soft wind.

ST KILDA
Old federation houses turned into segmented units. A suburb of yuppies and disillusioned poor people. The poor being squeezed into boarding houses by increasing land value. St Kilda is a place of huge contrasts - people pretentiously sipping cafe lattes on the sidewalk as old Joe, the squatter, shuffles by picking up cigarette butts. I live in St Kilda and fit between shuffling Joe and Yuppsville, my heart with the squatter. Trams, sea smells, crisis centres, oh and the Drop In. Do drop in and say 'hello' sometime. We all call St Kilda home.
