In The End

3rd September 2015 PhotoVerse Ross Adamson
I’ve reached the conclusion that life’s an illusion And death’s just the end of the show But one thing’s uncertain: at the fall of the curtain What happens and where do we go?

An excerpt from Ross’s poem, ‘In The End’ .

Writer’s Block

30th August 2015 PhotoVerse Ross Adamson

A short graphic poem about writers’ block.

I am the scourge called writer’s block; I’m the mind vault that you can’t unlock; When I strike you’re veiled in mental haze, Thoughts lost in a middle-distance gaze.

A short graphic poem about writers’ block.

It’s as the sane dreaded:

They’re too bullet-headed;

They’ll never ban guns

Until everyone’s deaded.

Aggro cop hits man in the back;

Power trip or blood rush to the head?

Blameless man has big heart attack:

Cop is fired but bystander’s dead.

Sun’s out, guns out – tatts an’ all;

Like a primal tribal call.

Top off, chav; suck in your gut;

Show the world your penguin strut.

Life is like a Jenga game:

You stack the blocks you choose;

You rise as high as you can

Until you crash back down and lose.
