Is it fact or merely fiction? Fact or Fiction explores the myths and beliefs we hold about what makes a good poem and the poetry rules that were made to be broken.
The Rays of Power
The warrior gazed at the rays of light dancing on the lake. The heat radiating from the water, soaked into her naked arms. She heard the singing of the invaders. She looked for the attackers but couldn't find them. Dead animals floated by her. She wondered if she would be next. A shot of light struck the water. Sparks jumped towards her. She froze in what she thought was fear. When the sparks disappeared she tried to escape. She was shocked to discover she was now a statue. Her emotions were alive, but her body was her prison.

A Novel in Ten Lines
We sat on a concrete wall in Paddington, waiting for the bus. The concrete was cold and hard. A shy punk was Benny. Spiked two-toned hair. Painted-dark punk eyes. I was 13. Handcuffed, he went quietly, missing the bus. The next morning found Benny, a body in blood. A dead-quiet watch-house. A dead cold concrete floor.
