A Cock's Crow


a cock’s crow
the farmer’s son and his girl
walking warm
out of the green stable
two young horses

Easy Mother Expletives

outrageous crime victims do plastic

over the gym-shy marriage

before you put uniform in a bottle

pupils win hollywood sick boy

quite advanced elephant dung and seaside u-turn

right time to sunday music system

executive pension plan options easy as print

you go in bank friday

liar at college is just heroine

unworkable ex-prisoners play comfort

rest help us plant wednesday show

grrrl power – thrown out spare time

remarkably easy mother expletives deleted

grass becomes the woodstock

come magnum write off fans to be

film under attack before gm foods

the best knew some were check-a-go-go

A ‘SHREADLINES’ piece by Paul Conneally, Loughborough Market Place 2000

"passers-by are asked to pick five pieces of cut-up newpaper text out of a bag at random
then to make a headline or shreadline using three or more of the pieces
then to stick it to a piece of found cardboard
the finished piece is both a literary work and a visual art piece
it should be read out loud with a strong rhythm and a good pace
preferably in a public space like a busy market place or town square
go and do it now
or go and make one in your town centre”

On the Green



they call for him
the slightly bigger boys

to ‘play out’
and ‘bring your ball’

out on the green
the big green by the main road

now you be careful
and don’t swing on the saplings

REUNITED WORLDS by R.N.FOSTER



Reunited Worlds - R.N.Foster
Reunited Worlds tells the tale of two space explorers, thousands of years in the future, who are sent out to find other worlds inhabited by humans. Their mission goes disastrously wrong when they encounter a medieval world and inadvertently affect the course of a major war. The story is told from both the perspective of the explorers and from the viewpoint of those who they encounter.
