Happiness?

by Shirley Smothers

entry picture

Sometimes I wish I

were a little more happy.

But I just feel

so darned sad.

Sometimes with myself I

get a little angry.

Sometimes I get

a little mad.

It's said to "Look

for the silver lining."

But all I see

is the dark cloud.

I try to quite

the uneasy voices.

But sometimes they are

just so...

The Ballad Of Billy Nomates

by Ian Whiteley

The Ballad Of Billy Nomates

You were bigger than a bus,

with a face as red as Martian dust

and a neck that started somewhere in your crown.

I was small and insecure,

as I approached the guarded door,

knowing that you were about to put me down.

You were giving me that look

that said you couldn’t give a fuck

for my need to get beyond the ticket box.

Fusion

By: Ali Taha Alnobani

He was lying on the grass

Looking carelessly at his watch

He needs to relax

But a voice is slamming his head:

Tick … tick

Seems saying: life is just a trick

Paths and routs

Plants and shoots

Telling the happiness rare story

About the unlucky traveler

Blue Lights, No Siren

by Ged Thompson

Blue lights, No Siren

The ambulances whiz past to Alder Hey…..

All day and all night.

They pass.

Some without blue lights and sirens, I hope…..

Hope……They are just going to pick a little boy up

And, take him home

I hope he’s going to a nice home……

Where he lives with people that love and appreciate him.

For the gift he is.

Ot...

Four Leaf Clover

by Ged Thompson

Four Leaf Clover

I saw two leprechauns last night

Doing a dance around our garden light

So I snook out the front, and down our back alley

with my hood pulled up just like a scally

Scaled next doors fence, then over ours

with a fishing net and two jam jars

Then I crept up…..I caught the two

They didn’t know just what to do

B...
