  • Semi - Soul

    My Soul. I summon to the winding ancient stair;

    Set all your mind upon the steep ascent,
    Upon the broken, crumbling battlement,
    Upon the breathless starlit air,
    Upon the star that marks the hidden pole;
    Fix every wandering thought upon
    That quarter where all thought is done:
    Who can distinguish darkness from the soul?

  • Semi - Decisions

    Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, 

    And sorry I could not travel both 
    And be one traveller, long I stood 
    And looked down one as far as I could 
    To where it bent in the undergrowth;

    Then took the other, as just as fair, 

    And having perhaps the better claim, 
    Because it was grassy and wanted wear; 
    Though as for that the passing there 
    Had worn them really about the same,

    And both that morning equally lay 

    In leaves no step had trodden black. 
    Oh, I kept the first for another day! 
    Yet knowing how way leads on to way, 
    I doubted if I should ever come back.

    I shall be telling this with a sigh 

    Somewhere ages and ages hence: 
    Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— 
    I took the one less travelled by, 
    And that has made all the difference.

  • Semi - John Cleese

    Forking out  more than £25million in divorce settlements across three failed  marriages could leave anyone feeling extremely bitter about life.

    It  certainly seems to be the case for Monty Python star John Cleese, who  has hit out at his ex-wives for costing him so much money - and prompted  him to wish they would all die.

    They  are not the only women to incur his wrath, the star, 77, is not happy  with his two daughters either - Camilla and Cynthia Cleese - as they  have turned out like their mothers. He complained that he wished he'd  never had children.

    'I have been married for 34 years. To  four different wives,' he said before referring to his second wife  Barbara Threntham, who died from complications with leukaemia in 2013,  'One of my ex-wives died. You know what? It was very sad because it was  the wrong one.'

  • Semi - Twilight

    At the end of a winding path

    A figure traipses a precipice,

    Scowls beneath, towards shattered stones:

    Hasty epitaphs for the inconsequentials

    A plethora of Darrens & Margarets 

    Who choked down their last gasp 

    in counterpoint to the air 

    As it leaves their temporal ribcage

    up towards the lift 

    to the scaffold

  • Semi - Chuffed

    Are you a person who naturally smiles when experiencing little to zero emotion?

    Do you class yourself as a 'foodie'?

    Do you refer to your friends as a squad?

    Do you have sideburns?

    Do you present a podcast?

    You may be suffering from CHUFFED.
