It’s six o’clock in the morning,
the dawn chorus performing,
I didn’t sleep a wink last night,
as I cried, and put the world to rights.
The world continues turning,
tears leave my eyes burning,
it’s over and done, your finally gone,
leaving my broken heart yearning.

Dare you stroll
down Memory Lane?
Can you step out
with me?
I will,
if you will.
Will you walk
into the unknown?
I will,
if you will.
Dare you take a leap
of faith?
I will,
if you will.
Would you fall,
head over heels?
I will,
if you will.
Say I love you?
I will,
will you?
Dare you!

No money can her beauty buy,
enchanting all she touches,
virgin white and transient,
the hoar frost kiss the bushes.
Spider’s webs of crystal tears,
furry leaves of velvet feathers,
stalagmite grass revering skies,
leidenfrost cloaks of weather.

Remember not
to forget
to remember
close your eyes
breathe in
breathe out
close your eyes
the silence brings
remembrance
not to forget
to remember

Knitting with syllables
pen and purl
lexical needles
pattern unfurls
pencils slip stitches
pens purl clichés
scheming skeins
unpicking dreams
slip stitch sibilance
cast off vigilance
trying hard again
to crochet a cardigan
No – not me
I prefer
knitting poems.

Oh I love this poem!!
He said he liked my shoes
sitting across from me
after he said we haven’t talked in a while.
I want to tell him everything
as I laugh at his ridiculous beard
then I tell him it’s the middle of summer.
When we make plans for tomorrow
my heart and my lips smile
then he looks sad, he forgot he has to work tomorrow.
Some other time I say
happy I got to share this moment with him
because we haven’t talked in a while.
I don’t realize how longs he stays
until he says he better be going
I smile and tell him I’ll talk to him tomorrow.
He tells me he’ll call
after he reminds me he has to go home soon
I know I may never see him again.
I hope we still talk
maybe we’ll even visit one another
for now I’ll just look at my…

Hi all, quick little reminder here about what we have coming up that you may be interested in submitting to, and a little something about a couple of collections we have in edit.
First up, our Burns Night competition is closing on the 20th (that’s exactly a weeks time, folks). We want your best poem inspired by Robert Burns.
