Fizzlesticks's Überrambly Rambles

Fizzlesticks rambles about poetry, philosophy, politics and fairyfloss. I rather like fairyfloss, don't you?

Read Me

Are you a rabid fangirl or fanboy, craving Zen word-pikelets?

Probably not, but nevermind that.

Experience the madness of spoken word at the Queensland Poetry Festival in September, or SpeedPoets, monthly.

Read Mirror Mirror, a short story that won third place in the John Marsden Prize for Young Australian Writers in 2006. Click the PDF link near the bottom of the page.

I'm half of a musical poetry (or poetic musical) duo currently emerging from the Brisvegas paintbox. Check out: Colouring by Numbers. We (as Zenobia Frost and Tim Tate) have a track (water devolution) on Going Down Swinging, Vol. 25. It will be in-stores from the 25th of September.

Get yourself onto a CityCat, if you're in Brisbane, to enjoy a Brisbane-inspired Poem of the Week (shown once every half hour - keep watching that screen!). Mine was up a few weeks ago, and looked like this:

From the Ferry, Looking Out
Zenobia Frost

What bonds must hold these atoms' hands
that I stand so collected,
like stamps or butterflies?
I can see my yesterdays
scattered across this river, and I wonder whether
you could piece me together in different ways
by asking the inconstant water
how she would build me.

Twilight shatters into street lights;
deep blue turns fog
into romance. I am looking
to complete my collection,
and I keep coming back
to Brisbane.
