A poem for all of us who ‘think’ that we are authors and writers
Posted by: Teech Airil on: Wednesday, September 3, 2008
Teech Airil sez – I’ve always been fascinated by the process of thinking and writing, some authors like Stephen King can write at the rate a modern factory produces cars, others write short thought provoking thought pieces that will leave us in awe of the power of the written word.
This pre year 2000 poem [...]
Beget Inc: the era of made-to-order cute little human babies?
Posted by: Teech Airil on: Friday, August 15, 2008
Teech Airil sez – I wrote this pre-year 2000 poem with the future clearly in my mind. Advancements in genetics and life sciences will one day allow us to make the sentiments in this poem a reality – and create a made-to-order baby! Will that day be the dawn of the next step in human evolution? [...]
Falling for you: an unrequited kind of love
Posted by: Teech Airil on: Wednesday, August 13, 2008
Teech Airil sez – A love unsaid and unspoken, can sometimes be the strongest of emotions, but then sadly and tragically only the person feeling it… feels it. Maybe this is what real love is about? Feeling happy for someone unselfishly yet with total devotion?
A-djinn the lyrical poet says - I wrote this based on my own feelings toward [...]

Posted by: Teech Airil on: Monday, August 11, 2008
Teech Airil sez – These two poems from 1998 mean a lot to me (of course). The first is really about my own mother after i thought long and hard about why we sometimes disagree with each other, well, most times at that time in my life really. The second is about my great grandmother who has since passed away, [...]
