Where a village was tasked and the people fraught
At the woe and sadness life could send.

With the Dragons gone and the...

Highlight of Goofus and Gallant 
bred within the survival instinct 
of hungry hordes of prey, 
when Earth in the balance 
against an uncomfortable truth 
smug smurf like scavengers.

Be a good example…
Don’t you know what that means?
I munch on my apple
Didn’t you hear me? Eat your green beans!

You’re stuck in place
You say “no”…
Stop denying it so
And I say “yes”
But, you can make progress
You’re...

*Secret love, two searching eyes*

I
The early morning's languorous mild sun 
Seemed jaded from a nightlong tiring jog, 
And liked dawn's dew-mixed mirth nor glee of smog,
Nor some stray passing clouds' hide-and-seek fun, 
Nor yet was...

Word from dream, the act of becoming, then woman
From Eve to Anat, the rib dribbled on the sand
Love and worship from dust of conviction life's promise claimed
And we from altar to grave turned, wounded and...

We met upon the stairs. In a brief moment of chance, I did not allow myself to be drawn away by other brighter, faster burning lights which held a momentary fascination and then flicker away...

The wife and I just recently, joined the clan of scrimp and save,
But we’re hoping that this attitude won’t send us to our grave,

So slick and sexy.  Purred past Temple Bar.
That throaty engine advertising punch.
All legal London, strolling out for lunch,
with turning heads declared, “Now that’s a car!”

So many barristers are – if not losers, 
low earners...

I was out walking my dragon, when I came across a Dogasaurus Rex.
It really wasn’t so bad until; they got into a real life-pissing contest.
My dragons’ roar was way less than his, and spitting fire,...

With apologies to Sir W.S. Gilbert

As some day it may happen that a victim must be found,
I've got a little list--I've got a little list.
Of society offenders who might well be underground,
And who never would...

I remember as a little girl 
On a visit to an aunt’s friends house 
I was sitting reading a story book 
As quiet as a mouse 

I asked to be pardoned 
To go to the...

Beauty and the Beast

In the deep core of her skin
I feel a human who is no saint  
Cutting out her heart, ripping everything to shreds
Leaving my prey gutless, in every form of sin ...

I’m carbon-based,
Resurrection cornerstone foundation laid
Diamond made

These obsidian eyes
sardius shine ...
agate Illuminating
my igneous bright coal face

With volcanic intensity,
my onyx lips glow
And the chest cavity 
			         pressure beneath

I stare at birds flitting branch to branch chirping happily
but birds flitting branch to branch don’t touch me anymore
my calloused senior feelings come more frequently now
just like my urge to pee

Sad, pitiful, stupid stuff enters...

With the notion I have done foolish pride in them.
Aching for the attention of an adolescent to be put upon me,
And not imagine of the reality of things that...

But some things happen..things you can't even explain. 
You feel you've come closer to someone by feeling their pain. 
Sometimes I wonder..

White flag
By Michelle Morris
31/08/2022

I see no peace on the battlefield
No white flag on the horizon
We are separated from our brothers
By lines drawn on a map

All the tanks and gunfire
Explosions and fire and noise
It hardens our...

the one grocery store there was in town 
drinking Yoo-Hoo and chewing Bazooka Joe 

While we were joking, cussing and spitting
playing baseball, swimming or just sitting
Our innocence...

In me ..in my life...
Pieces which were missing..
That I hadn't realised were lost...

a mosaic of memories,
tiny bits that make it whole,
like a cracked window,
