The recovery after the storm

Maddy Cogle

Before the winds of sorrow hit,

The azure skies were warm,

Inhaling  grief

releasing ecstasy in its place 

When the breath of sorrow hits 

All happiness is lost 

In an abyss of authentic grief.

But thy sun still shines 

Few but some smiles are still genuine

The veils of dreams still hang upon one's head

There is an expansion for the realisation of life 

Wings begin to spread 

And thy people begin to fly.

A Haircut

by Simone Strange

Scissors are crocodiles 

with rows of jagged daggers

They open and close their mouths

creeping silent as a mouse

snapping at the strands of hair 

each one drifting to the floor

wailing and flailing about

Still hungry they hunt for more

smacking their lips 

and ripping limb from limb

crunching the bones up 

leaving nothing behind

Colours

Greta Prince

Colours flood out from the unknown,

Leaving traces.

But only one speaks for itself,

Bold bright and fearless.

Hiding deep in souls,

Forcing negativity.

Spears cutting through flesh,

Leaving a scar.

Breaking hearts,

Wounded forever.

The colour of fear,

Is a thief never caught.

The Unknown

Samantha Foote Piercing through the unknown, The light begins to fade, Eddying into an abyss, The wind calls out, Waiting for hope, Unfortunately all is lost

Finally, can you guess who is on the end of this kite string on this wild and windy day?

Keep sharing with us, happy holidays!
