Happiness?

by Shirley Smothers

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

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.

Fusion

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

Four Leaf Clover

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
