by Marc Gunn, January 25, 2005 Back in college, I created a word called “glaggle.” I just liked the sound of it. This poem was inspired by reading a book in bed with my cats playing on top of me, while I remembered my own days of Yore… or is that Your… College, she said. […]

The Mining Ship the Red Dwarf (Lyrics, parody of The Bonnie Ship the Diamond)
by Marc Gunn, February 23, 2005 It’s taken me over a year “research” this song (boy, if research were like this in college…). At long, I finish it. The song is a parody of the Scottish song, “The Bonnie Ship the Diamond.” It tells the story of the “coolest” character on the British TV show […]
Glancing Back in the Rear View Mirror
by Marc Gunn, February 11, 2005 A poem reflecting on a woman I dated a while back and saw again not too long ago. Glancing back in the rear view mirror, Seeing beauty with a strawberry glow and golden hair; Hints of reason Made desires swollen in suptuous lips, Valentine cheeks, And eyes that light […]

Where Ere You Go

A New Year, A New Heart
by Marc Gunn, December 31, 2004 I made some wonderful friends on my trip to Italy that I’ll always remember. A new year, a new heart, A new face, Burned on my conscience Like a gothic shadow of Mother Mary On a piece of toast… But tastier.
Which Side of the Cat Fence Are You On?
It’s amusing and I’ve never gotten so much free publicity. Yes, I’m talking about my Irish Drinking Songs for Cat Lovers CD. Since I started the new website, I’ve been getting a lot of publicity for the CD. It’s definitely an idea that people love… or hate. What’s really cool is that I’m getting used […]
Love with a Language Barrier
by Marc Gunn, December 30, 2004 Spending time alone with a million beautiful people and things to see, I couldn’t help but write love poetry inspired by bella Italia. Cercando for l’amore without walls; Love that is friendship and amore, Passion and romance Holding each other on Roman walls, Hearing heartbeats Like thunder in my […]
Swiss Snow
by Marc Gunn, December 19, 2004 I took a train through the Swiss Alps and was blown away by the gorgeous whiteness of snow. It left me daydreaming. Blossoms of white On frozen trees of brown. There’s a fine powder Blinding and unwinding As the soft sun pokes through The weary winter haze. A bird […]
