Elves and Cream

1
by Mary Akor

The moon, a distant friend, followed me,
that was all I could see.
In my dreams, it housed elves and fairies,
feeding me sweet cream and cakes.
Coloured and plain.
But with a blink of my eyes, my moon friend warned,
as the sun rose, to disguise
its loyal companion; now I am
Left alone with a big, bright face.

People are lonely,
Want to be loved, want to be known
Lost myself in the process
In the end
Not myself, not others

An Apple’s Timeline

0
by Holly Ellis

An apple crunches, and inflames with a rash,
It deploys, and spreads its wings from the robust nest,
Skin impatient and lepidote,
It burns as it flies,
Teeth marks ride its sun sand skin and make love to its chalky plasma,
Intimate, the fruit flies rest in their womb of seeds,
An apple falls from its perch upon a frosted cloud,
It descends into compost and corrodes itself to ebony ash,
Its past is gone now, and is lost in a sea of obscurity

Dragon

Breath of curving, dangerous wild,
Eyes of endless ocean,
Church spires bristling along his back,
Heart overflowing with veiled emotion.

What can he do, except watch with sorrow
As humans destroy the Earth?
Knowing that by daylight tomorrow
All there’ll be left is dead trees and broken dirt.

Frustration churns inside his mind;
He could win any battle,
Beat any fight
But he can do nothing in the Humans’ war between wrong or right.

Withered Away

by Amiyah Richardson

Alone in the darkness the lilac sky glistened
Images of the moon was vividly playing in her head
She could no longer stay in bed .
To cool her light head, she had to go out to the shed
From that day on she was declared dead…

A wish for lots of birthday fun
Last until the day is done
Hoping that all your wishes come true
and your birthday cake is as sweet as you

Survivors Guilt

1
by Jessica Lily Thompson

As I open my eyes
unaware of the position
where another body lies
I am greeted with gasps of joy
so I am hugged and am lured
into the excitement like a koi.

I look to my left and I see a young boy
sleeping peacefully alone
I see his chest slowly rise
I look to my right and I see an older girl
she isn’t alone
surrounded by the people she used to love
who were crying in pain and holding her
I wonder if her chest would never rise

I am presented with a sloppy kiss
from my Aunt Joe
that girl got a kiss
but it was sodden from tears
I wonder if it was her Aunt who kissed her

The machines I have make a steady
repeating – Beep… Beep – in time to my heart
The machines she had didn’t make any noise
I wonder why her’s didn’t go in time with her heart

There is overlapping noise from every direction
Closer to me, people talk
about how grateful they are to see me again
I wonder if they talked
about how grateful they were
to have seen her one last time

Anime is such a good thing that everyone can enjoy
Nothing is better than anime
In my eyes anime is amazing
My favourite is Attack on Titan
Everyone should like anime, but it’s just people’s opinion

Roses are red
Violets are blue

Stress VS Exams

0
by Layla Balt

Exams loom, a weight on the mind
A burden heavy, a stress to unwind
Days blend together, a blur of time
As studying consumes, a constant grind

The pressure mounts, a sense of fear
A dread of failure, a constant peer
Overwhelmed and anxious, a feeling so real
A sense of calm, a distant ideal

Sleepless nights, a tired-eyes gaze
A mind racing, a never-ending maze
Questions swirl, a jumble of thought
A search for answers, desperately sought

But then it ends, a final sigh
A relief washes, a feeling to the sky
A weight lifted, a burden released
A sense of pride, a joy increased.
