Vanilla voices downright don’t like

They say I’m way too uppity,
don’t know what...

Paperweight
Nothing’s lost till you stop			searching;
it’s still on 				Earth man
with no reason it couldn’t be yours again.
And if every little moment serves a 		purpose
forgetting would be a dis-			service
no matter how painful it is.
When you long for...

Written by Paula Swanson


Here at my desk I sit,
with silence all around.
Just the hum of the frig,

My Shadow
A constant reminder of what’s surrounding me
The vacuum of evil that seeks to suck me in
That the light will fade and I too will cease to be
Along with my warped blank paperweight twin

I walk in...

Scones
Baking scones has been
The absolute bane of my life
Fifty-five years I’ve spent
Its caused me nothing but strife 

Up and down the country
You’ll find them in any café
Soft, light and beautifully risen
The highlight of any display

A granite bust statuette of Nefertiti
Bought at Abu Simbel on our Egyptian cruise
Serves us as a solid paperweight
On windy mornings reading the 'Weekly News'. 

A cigar on the terrace is my only indulgence

When I was out to show of great,

no millefiori paperweight of brightly coloured glasses,
or fancy timepiece cast from golds of yellow and white,
for it could never rest, smooth and heavy, within your open hands,

The Maladroit Teachings of the Human Skul
A cracked and empty skull
makes a beautiful flower pot,
desk tidy or paperweight.

and it will become a small table lamp.

Through the ages
monks have harvested skulls;
some sanctuaries and chapels
are built on...
