Alternate Universe
The women sing songs to the moon, Praising its beauty. They dance and sing when it’s in its full glow, Their souls ascending and descending, Transformed into priestesses. The men venture into the forest at twilight every fortnight. There, an unveiling and a revealing take place. The spirits...

Premium Member Alternate Lives
(“Still Life”, 2021, original encaustic) Alternate Lives Time appears to go in a line From then to now And some times it does But at a certain point the stream Becomes a river Which then spreads into a delta. I’ve always found the metaphors Of literal geography to be the best, And in this life can see the threads Of alternate lives play out All the...

Premium Member An Alternate Theory on Black Holes
A poem which shows the value of poetry to letting the mind run free. There's an outline around the unseeable—the temptation to lick it, knowing it's like the inside of the freezer wall. The lure, being the spilled ice lolly looking flavoursome, is insane. You wouldn't do it twice, nor would you have the opportunity. So resist—that's...

Premium Member an alternate reality
Sadly, I was never blessed with having children. About 30 years ago I dreamed that my husband (now late husband) and I had twin girls, red-haired girls (my husband had red hair). Those girls were so real to me I named them: Chetta Marlene and Judith Rae Leann. I named them after family members. I read...

Whispers of the Unchosen Path
I wonder if I did not stay, What paths my life would gently sway. Would destiny unfold anew, Or fade like whispers that I once knew? In the realm of infinite chance, Would joy still dance its blissful dance? Or would regret with mournful sigh, Embrace my heart beneath the sky? The road untraveled tempts my mind, With secrets hidden, left behind. Yet, in this...

The Rubix-Sphere
What if the Rubix cube was round? Would everything lost be found? Maybe Boris Johnson wouldn't be head, three cheers for Mary Berry as pm instead. Would we have ever left the EU? Say 'bygone' to the Dover/Calais queue. COVID may never have shown its ugly face, and bankrupt every marketplace. We'd greet one another with a grin and hug, not a distant wave...

The Poor and Lonely
Today someone praised a poem I wrote It is about considering the disenfranchised at this supposedly jolly time of year Why, she said, just think about all in need, why not spend Christmas with them, she asked Amazingly enough, that is just what I do, For you see I am one of the poor and disabled whose SSD checks just do...
