Days Of The Week

0
by Pranav Singh Neta

Monday comes so quietly,
begins the new journey.
The alarm clock rings early,
and I haven’t done a thing.

Tuesday brings more energy,
I already feel so young.
A new day begins,
the sun smiles in the wind.

Wednesday stands in the middle,
with work and steps to take.
But soon it’s over,
half the week is in the lake.

Thursday sounds cheerful,
we move forward happily.
Friday is so near,
how wonderful, hooray!

Friday is welcome,
the week has flown by.
We’re already dreaming of sleep,
of the weekend – oh my!

Saturday brings the laughter,
we do things at a leisurely pace.
No stress, no “Must do, now!”
Just peace in every place.

Sunday is very still,
because everyone wants to rest.
A book, some tea, a glance –
and then it’s back again

Echoes of Kindred Spirits

by Ruby

Two souls woven, like threads of fine lace,
In the tapestry of time, we’ve found our place.
With every heartbeat, a cadence we share,
In the rhythms of life, we dance without care.

In the Quiet Aftermath

In the Quiet Aftermath
In the soft whisper of night’s embrace,
Where shadows linger and silence has a face,
Your laughter dances on the edges of dreams,
A fragile echo, unravelling at the seams.
The empty chair, a monument to grace,
Holds the warmth of memories, time cannot erase.
Each heartbeat a reminder of words left unsaid,
In the garden of longing where the petals are shed.
I trace your name in the cool autumn air,
A ghost in the sunlight, woven with care.
Though time may weave its relentless thread,
In every tear, a story, in every sigh, you’re not dead.
You are the whisper of wind through the trees,
The flicker of starlight, the soft hush of the seas.
In laughter, in sorrow, in moments that gleam,
You reside in my heart, in the fabric of dream.
So I carry you gently, you’re never far away,
In the rhythm of life, in the dawn’s silver ray.
For love like ours, though the body may part,
Lives on in the echoes, forever in my heart.

My Eyes, I Pull

0
by Jasmine Wilson

I pull at my eyes,
For too much they have seen,
A world too dark,
Too cruel – it’s bordering obscene.
The horrors linger,
Etched in my restless mind,
A thousand nightmares,
And only one way for them to be left behind.

With trembling palm,
I rip,
Tear,
Pull my eyes out,
To silence all this agonising doubt,
For sight had led me to witness too much,
Things too deep,
Things I couldn’t trust.
And now I long for endless, eternal sleep.

No eyes, no pain,
No world to see or fear,
Just dancing shadows and silent whispers,
Far or near.
I’m in darkness now,
And I hold my tongue –
I hold my peace,
Where all the worlds terrors,
They finally cease.

Void

by Noah Zinck

An empty yet cascading void
from witch chaos arises

Where the bounds of cause and effect
do not take hold

A place in between something and nothing

The Light of Loneliness

1
by Janaki B Anup

AT FIRST I THOUGHT THAT I WAS ALL ALONE.
ALL ALONE IN THAT SADENED, PITIFUL DARK WORLD,
WITH LOTS AND LOTS OF SLIPPERY STAIRS.
I STILL DON’T KNOW WHY I FELT
IT THAT WAY. BUT I NEVER KNEW
WHAT AWAITED ME AT THE END OF THAT STAIR.
LONELINESS MADE ME SCARED OF THE TRUE
BEAUTIFUL WORLD WITH MARVELLOUS COLOURS.
BEING LONELY WAS LIKE A CURSE TO ME.
EACH AND EVERY TIME WAS A LOT TO ME
LIKE A PERSON TRYING TO MOVE A BIG STONE
WITH BARE HANDS. AT FIRST IT WAS HARD FOR ME.
BUT WITH DUE EFFORTS I BROUGHT MY LIGHT.
MY OWN LIGHT THAT WAS EAGERLY WAITING FOR ME.

I’m a trans
I like being called Alexis
The first book I saw about it
My heart leapt
No one likes me cause I’m trans
I’m also les
I’ve worn a girl outfit

Lunchtime

0
by Violet Sedgwick

The sun is high in the blue and clear sky.
Wind blowing through the emerald trees.
A lone bird chirps its sweet sweet songs.
Soaring through the sky.
What once was grey is now quite bright.

The ring echoes up and down the halls.
As the clock turns its hands to hit the time 1:00.
DING!
The floodgates open.
And the stampede storms out.

This way.
That way.
Left and the right.
Silence filled with laughter and screams.
clean floors, no longer shiny and free.

This way.
That way.
They hop, skip and run on the grass.
Football’s flying.
As they pass.

What once was quiet.
Is now filled with noise.
This is the lunchtime with girls and boys.

The Field

by Riley Lord

The sun is shining, smiling down
as the blissful breeze dances through the grass
birds are singing a beautiful tune
and the field is calm and peaceful

THE RELENTLESS CLOCK STRIKES 12.
FOOTSTEPS OF THE ADVENTUROUS CHILDREN CAN BE HEARD.
LAUGHING, SCREAMING,
SHOUTING WITH JOY,
THIS WAY,
THAT WAY,
UP AND DOWN

Christmas Time

by Riley Lord

It’s Christmas time for you and I
Let’s have some fun
sledging in the sun,
the snow and the cold
Frosty is ever so bold

Stockings are hung over the chimney with joy
Christmas is a happy day for all girls and boys
It’s almost time
Santa’s almost here
It’s the night before Christmas
Let’s all shout and cheer

It’s Christmas day
and under the tree is where the presents lay
Let’s have a fun time all day long
because we love Christmas, it never goes wrong
