Featured Poem:

My 33rd

by Martyna Kielek

Why should I be ashamed of age

When it offered me so very much

Too many gifts I can’t afford

The thirst for knowledge

Served in bottomless goblets

Drunk in hasty bitter gulps

The shameful longing

For every place I was not wanted

Among their furtive glances

And their fingers pointed at me

And their whispers nibbling at my toes

The Acceptance and the Fight

Waltzing, brawling, sleeping

Always together, skin to skin

Fur to fur, like mama’s kittens

Still not ready to let me go

For all the things, good and scary

The harsh truths I broke my tooth on

And the soft lies that devoured me

I’ll write a love letter to life.

I'm someone who doesn't like parameters, barriers or fences. I'll try and climb over them, burrow under them or just pretend they don't exist - until they don't. Sometimes I'll write about the mind in a poetic way, or poetry with neural undertones, or I'll proselytise endlessly about my favourite new band - or one of the old ones. My Blog will give you the keys to the kingdom. A kingdom with no borders, no expectations and, therefore, no failure.. Because I am endlessly empathetic with people, their motivation, their behaviour,their problems and their quest for knowledge, I work with the pioneering Brighton-based homeless, vulnerable women and disempowered school students charity Off The Fence Trust that has tried to redress the equality deficit for over two decades. I produce, host and promote two radio shows a week: The Whole Nine Yards Sundays 3-5pm on Mid Sussex Radio 103.8FM (www.midsussexradio.co.uk/listen) - and Lost Immortals on Mid Sussex Radio 103.8FM on Sundays 5-7pm.
