Prose

P
A short story I wrote for the Katherine Mansfeild Short Story Contest. It didn't even get placed, but it won a high school award.

All I've done is chase a rainbow
Something soppy that happened one day.

Katherine
A short tale about an old wife.

Shoe and Hat and Thimble and Iron and Dog.
Something I wrote as part of my theatre studies assessment.

Dreams on Hire Purchase
Someting I wrote as part of an online writing challenge. I plan to rewrite it properly one day.

Poetry

An Angel
Cameo-Appearance-Boy
A poem about someoone I liked when I was in seventh form, kinda.
Claire the evil midget girl
A cheap shot at a midget so short cheap shots just go over her head.
Don't Cry
English-Exam-snow-day-prayer
A wish that came true.
Gone
I am the child
If the words sound queer
My first attempt at a nonsense poem.
It's the delicious talk
A weird little thing that happened after I bought dodgy asian stationary.
Perhaps
Questions
Shivering Softly
A poem with little meaning but a lot of effort put into the construction.
Sing the songs that sang themselves
A slightly insane poem about the dream of love.
Someone I knew once
A poem about the wind that I wrote while feeling disillusioned about God and existence.
Sometimes I feel
Talentless
What happens when I'm feeling useless and decide to take it out on poetry.
This is what I need
A strange sweet little poem I wrote about love
Truth
Untitled
Untitled (another one)
When
A poem about loneliness and depression. Warning: Uses strong language
New:
Cherished beatings
A poem to my ex. And no it isn't about S&M. And it is a tad unstructured and work-in-progress-ish
Wok Factory Rice
For everyone who has ever eaten at the Otago University Student Union
