My Pacific IsleI entered a competition
In a gardening magazine.

A piece of imagination
Where flamingo's could have dined.
Mammals and coloured...

I'm not done with you yetTo be the ones to see that storm
Rage across the jungle
And witness the light arcing in flames
From sky to horizon
To feel the imminent thunder rumble
To the pads of your toes.
How close will it come?

Before you arrive in the rainforest
if you get lost

if you...

Awareness floats, starting to rise;
An earthy smell of fresh soil turning,
Rabbits burrowing and squirrels stirring,
Smoke from a fire burning;
Spirit answers the shaman's calling,
Trees undisturbed and evergreen,
The forest thick with...

To you. They are white magick –
Given with all my...

Honeysuckle Hopeout my glass window
sways the silenced sunflower
facing herbs of gold
and silver-winged butterflies
glazed in honeysuckle hope
But in this darkness

to glistening moon gardens
where I'll flee from heartless ghosts
So if tomorrow

PreservationistPreserve it for history.
Restore it the way it should be.
Ecosystems must be protected well.
Store microorganisms in a liquid nitrogen cell.
Every item catalogued.
Replanting to replace what’s logged.
Various fossils preserved completely.
Apple sauce preserves quite sweetly.
Tyrannosaurus bones...

The Yellow LogOn seeing the painting of Edvard Munch
Of the woodland stretching endless
One would feel, one has entered a sanctuary,
Where stillness prevails and coolness overpowers
There is no sound except the sound of rustling leaves.
Tall trees touching Heaven’s...

Responsibility For Our Actions Synergy and MagicResponsibility for our actions
(Synergy and magic)
By Michelle Morris
17/02/2023
We fight over land
We fight over sea
We fight over resources
As we deplete them
We claim sovereignty
We draw lines and maps
We think we are separate
Because of our flags
Yet, no one...

Our Beautiful MelodyOur beautiful melody
Something so near but so out of reach
Cannot play on its own
Without you and me
We’ll never know what we could be
Unless we’re brave and take a leap
Every day we’re distant, apart
I’m losing hope...
