Breaking news
Reading improves your vocabulary
Ambition creates success
The more effort you put in
The better the outcome
There is no such thing as an overachiever
Now to Harry Rear for sports
Thank you, Cindy
Last night’s game was a...
Distraction
(Poetry)
27-02-2008
by Lynne Lessard
Walking down a crowded street
With music plugging her ears,
Distracted by designer stores and foreign males,
She Forgets. She listens, but she does not hear.
Above her; laundry droops, birds sail, suns hiss.
Around her; vespas play, vendors...
Hollywood's Post-Colonial Africa
(Opinions)
4-02-2009
by Lynne Lessard
The distraught state of post-colonial Africa is a popular subject with the western media. This kind of exposure has the potential to gain the much needed international attention. Though what is an issue of concern is the way the stories are...
Homesick at Home
(Poetry)
27-02-2008
by Lynne Lessard
From deep behind the bars of a dark room
This young lady would come to see

paste,paste,paste.
A keeper, no doubt.
Save as,
copy...

(Poetry)
27-02-2008
by Lynne Lessard
Evening news, watch their world lose all control
See destiny’s attempts to re-inform
By seeing beyond your forgetful soul
The maybes and peut-êtres that it stole
Brittle nails, old lungs, a tropical storm
Evening news, watch their world...
Open-brain surgery
(Poetry)

by Lynne Lessard
-I gave up.
-What made you give up?
-I felt cursed,
and if you’re cursed,
you’re cursed.
There’s no getting rid of a curse,
except in movies.
-So you believe in curses,

-I was quite the pessimist.
-You were?...
Perfect China

China
Good China
Fine China
The really expensive kind of dinnerware
Relatives imported from another continent
As a wedding present
Yes, even China that isn't from China
Solid, but fragile
Can be looked at
Gawked at
Analysed
Shaken...
Political Antacid
(Opinions)
27-02-2008
by Lynne Lessard
My stomach turned when, during a class discussion about politics, a quiet voice huffed and said: “Oh well, I’m not gonna vote when I can, anyway.”
Somehow, no matter how hard I try, I can’t think of even one single reason why any eligible...
