Poemetics: Suspicously Cute, Ode to a Total Stranger
You can download the PDF format of my poetry compilation for free here… I wasn’t able to upload the ePub (eBook standard format) for some reason…maybe WordPress is trying to protect copyright (protecting me from myself – way to go WordPress!)
Let me know what you think! 🙂
Yup, you heard me right,
I’m givin’ it away, cause
All poetry should be free,
So go on, treat yourself,

And Bob’s your uncle,
Or at least he’s mine!
This is just a quickie…I know, I know, usually it takes a good couple of dates, some wining and dining, a few smiles, a hug, a kiss a cuddle…and then onto the final frontier…space…or at least what’s left of it aside from the junk we jettison out there as the ultimate chav planet in the galaxy…but more on that later.
(No, more on that now! Are those in charge of disposing of earth’s rubbish the same senseless oiks who dump old refrigerators in front of their homes on the off chance someone else wants it, or maybe the neighbours will get fed up enough – as I sometimes do – and clear it to the dump themselves? Seriously! If I was an alien race hell-bent on world domination, or just a friendly neighborhood alien race looking to drop in on the newbies and see how they are settling in, whether the kids have found school to be tough, or even just to borrow a few million gallons of oil, and I saw the rubbish floating around our planet by way of dead satellites, space waste, jettisoned rubbish and general debris that we humans have surrounded our planet with…well, I would think twice about visiting. Do you regularly go meet and greet neighbours who have old kitchen sinks dumped in their front gardens? Think about it! We could be missing out on the evolutionary-jump of a sentient race which thinks we are the chavs of the Milky Way…and we’ll never know…and now back to our regular broadcast…)
What was I on about? Oh, yes, I’ve published three compilations of, well, stuff from this blog as ebooks on Amazon – just search for ‘Emerson Freedman’ on amazon, or type in ‘Poemetics’…or even just click on one of the three links to those books on Amazon on the rigth hand side here…no not there…over to the…yeah…to the…to the right…your other right…yeah, there, the ‘Poemetics’, ‘A Day in the Life’ and ‘Storytology’ links. Yup. Those. No, you can’t download them for free. They cost a whole £0.71. Not cause I’m greedy. Cause Amazon don’t do free ebooks. Go figure. Cheapest I could make them….no really…it was….whatever.
So, go on, have a look, download them, let me know what you think. Share them with a friend. This is the first foray into epublishing for me…the first ‘real’ epublishing books I created…by way of Word to Plain Text to Jutoh to Amazon…cool stuff, eh?
Let me know what you think. Feedback is always appreciated. Even if it is not precisely what I want to hear. (The truth is not always pretty, I know. But if you’re going to be honest, go easy…I am more fragile than I look!)
Til next time, bon nuit,

Hello all there out there in blog land…
I spent a good few hours over the weekend creating and publishing a handful of poetry anthologies entitled “Poemetics Volume 1…” to “Poemetics Volume 3…” on the ‘Smashwords’ website (smashwords.com).
You can find all three Poemetics volumes (now on Amazon instead of Smashwords) in one volume available for download here.
I will soon be adding ISBN references to them to get them onto Barnes & Noble, iBookstore and others.
Even only having them available on Smashwords (taking into account I have no idea how big this site’s user base is) these books were downloaded more than 100 times from about midnight Friday to lunchtime today – a very impressive statistic for a set of poetry anthologies for an unknown author on a single website.
It will be very interesting to see how this changes or expands (hopefully!) when these go online to the main ebook suppliers.
I am considering having these published as a ‘Print On Demand’ single volume book.
Any thoughts? (Feedback on the back of a postcard with some pretty scenery…it makes the day go by quicker and covers the holes in the walls.)
Until next time, live long and prosper! 🙂

I did it! Eureka! An ebook, at long last! – Have a gander at Poemetics Volume 1 – The Day I Forgot to be Sad.
Ok, so it is not in ePub format, but it’s a start! Today, PDF formatted ebooks. Tomorrow, the world! 🙂 (It was not as easy as it looks.)
This is the first of several free-ebook compilations of my writing, some of it from right here on DarkerZeus.com, like this first compilation. Others will be from unpublished work.
Amazon Kindle and iBookstore do not take PDF’s so I have to crack the conversion from Doc to HTML to ePub (the last bit is actually relatively easy) without losing all of the hard work formatting I did, and without having to spend over £1400 on ‘Adobe Indesign’ software…but I am still hacking away at it.
Who needs sleep anyway? I say to heck with it! Sleep is over-rated. A piffling thing like getting my z’s is not going to stop me from world domination.
So come on, help me out, spread the word. Pass on my eBook to all and sundry…let’s see if I can’t find enough poetry lovers out there to start pulling them back and critiquing my work – everyone loves to give advice and here I’m asking for it, so…
…does my bum look big in this? 😉
Til next time,
Yours Truly,
