*WARNING - Photos may be upsetting for some* A few years ago I was in South Africa for a friend\'s wedding and we went on game rides, where we would drive into the bush and observe animals in their natural habitat.Now, as we all know, nature is an unforgiving and unsympathetic place, and the reality of the bush is that animals attack each other in the wild.We witnessed a cheetah in full sprint chasing down and catching a steinbok...

And this is the second, taken while walking through a Berlin park not far from Brandenburg Gate. The things that came to mind with this setting were the Brothers Grimm and Little Red Riding Hood.

Two photos I took while I was in Berlin with my now-ex girlfriend, which I then touched up on Photoshop. The first one is this, inspired from the girl with the red coat in Schindler\'s list... we were walking through the Holocaust Memorial and my ex just so happened to be wearing a red coat, so I had to get a photo.

Hey folks,Joe Jones here. I\'m a good friend of Chris (Joey), brought together by our mutual and long-suffering love of our local football/soccer team, but with an equal passion for everything creative! Now my main strength is writing, and I\'ll be looking to roll out a couple of short stories out there - mostly concepts inspired by things around me, things I\'ve watched on read, that kind of thing - but I also dabble in other things, namely drawing and photography.Really pleased to be here and here\'s to establishing this site as one of the creative hubs of the internet! 

Welcome to Poetry & Art! Liam! Thanks for coming on board, I\'m sure you\'ll enjoy it here!

Yep, my sentiment exactly. Politics is a constant gnawing pain that, despite it having chipped away at you for years, it remains to torment you, despite you having long given up. Great poetry!
