I hate to put you wrong, but clearly Facebook.com is the only place to be. I'll see what I can do for football, but being skint the train fair is a little tricky.

Nice work bro. Made me feel I was there, burning documents that implicated my superiors roles in 'The Final Solution'.
No seriously, awesome stuff. The Falaise Gap was one of the most shocking and horrific scenes in all the war. This evokes what I imagine it would have been like once it was eventually quiet.

Most probably because it was written last year, and worked its way up form the mound of paper I have on my desk. It was a nice surprise to see it.

Its inspired by a friends painting he did for for his art exam, but I know what you mean.

And 'please' wouldn't go amiss either, we barmen appreciate good manners you know. Not that I am a barman, I'm just imagining what a barman might say. I actually work in an expensive cookware shop.

Its a dying breath observation, come on, a little tiny-weeny bit of imagination might have got that?!

Nice idea, a little weaker towards the end, too much sentimentality for my taste, but a wonderful idea.

Like I tried to say before, my dear man, I am not guilty, just belatedly telling everyone that the first stanza is not mine. And revelling in one single -10-? Please, tell me, Sir, where did I give you that expression. My jodphurs are staying firmly up with a Thomas Pink, Germyn Street, belt. (Except for some devient scullery maid, the minx!)

I never intended to pass all this poem off as my own, hence the admission (I wasn't exactly ridden with guilt, shaking and sweating fearing God's wrath). Just because I didn't chose to use quotation marks doesn't mean its plagiarism all of a sudden. To plagiarise:'' to use another person's idea or a part of their work and pretend that it is your own'', freeserve online dictionary, ''to take and use as one's own, the thoughts, writings or inventions of another'' - Shorter Oxford English Dictionary, ''to take ideas writings, etc. from another and pass them off as one's own'' - Collins Concise English Dictionary. Now how does that relate to this phrase quoted from above? '' the first stanza is not mine...I cannot take credit for it''. I have not, do not and will not take credit for the first stanza, so how can I be plagiarising when the definition is to pass off other's works as my own? Regardless of what punctuation devices are used in the body of the poem. Cock.
