Bobo

For Andy... 

About a guy... 

About an old friend... 

About differing agendas...a dangerous situation 

About a guy I work with. Paradoxical and beguiling. 

Another ode to my nearly-33-year-old 'cuddly' toy ( once a snoopy-style dog, but now a degenerating mass of rags - still beautiful to me ). I cried rather a lot while writing this. :0( 

Something of a rambling... 

Think this might be crap - undecided. 

A little bit of catharsis about someone I'm not very fond of! Better out than in... 

Sometimes it can feel as though the expectations of others are too much of a burden... 

I've just written this after a very weird night - having read it back to myself it makes no sense, but thought I'd submit it and hope for feedback. ;0) 

Sex, Lies, and Confusion. 

Anyone else been listening to the White Stripes' last album?! 

Can we ever be friends with ex-lovers? Not straightforwardly, methinks! Too much baggage. 

In response to Fearless' earlier piece in which he touched upon what it is to fall in love with somebody far removed from your 'ideal'...this is a tad twee, so I apologise in advance. 

Bah, Humbug... 

Written in the first person but actually about the smug up-their-own-arses type I despise. 

A few lines about my dad. 

The opening of a piece about getting together with my fiance - all feedback most welcome, as I'm loathe to go any further with it if it's not up-to-scratch. Cheers. 

Not sure this will mean anything to anyone. 

Another bit of Anorexic rambling... 

Maudlin ramblings from the miserable woman... 

Sorry - another morose rambling from the mind of an anorexic ( cured, kind of ). 

As in life, I find long menu's offer too many choices. Am I alone? 

Riddled with spelling mistakes... 

...hopefully taken in the jovial spirit it's meant! 

A silly bit of rhyme... 

Farmor is Swedish for grandmother ( mother of father ) and this is a small piece about my partner's 93 year old Farmor who's not well. 

OK, I 'fess up - I'm 32 and I still sleep with a toy I've had since I was 6 months old... 

...a few lines about a great bloke I know. 

About a good friend of mine. 

Written in the first person but more a comment on others' relationships...possibly a tad judgemental & cruel! 

Why-oh-why do I dream about people who I'd much prefer to forget?! 

A few lines about moving-on from my marriage. 

Edited version of a short I posted a while ago. Comments welcomed. 

The ugly face of an eating disorder bubbles to the surface once more... 

Autobiographical. Wrote this when I was about 22 and edited it a few days ago...10 years later! 

Am I the only one who has such an appalling love-life??? 

A poem about Anorexia... 

I've just rattled this one off - not even read it back to myself at this stage as am a bit sick of sitting here now...would love any feedback. 

Revisited this poem and made some changes.... 

Inspired by a job I did at University before gravity started to take its toll on my droopy bits! Would really really appreciate feedback. xxx 

This needs help...any suggestions on how to end it would be appreciated. 

A few cheery lines about someone I met while running a London bar... 

Any feedback appreciated guys. 

Again, if you've read this already I apologise...having finally achieved full member status I'm reloading all my work.... 

Sorry guys - ignore if you've read this already under the user name DJ...I've eventually managed to become a full member after some problems with PayPal ( hooray! ) and so am reloading all my work so far...both under Bobo and also DJ...are you confused yet??? 

Nell and Steph have already commented on this but am hoping to get some constructive criticism from some of the guys. Sorry to be cheeky by posting this again!!!
