Mr Simons rounded the corner of the corridor that led away from the class room he had been teaching in all day. The commotion from the group of year 9’s all shouting fight had dragged him away from the marking he had been doing at his desk. As he pushed open the double doors he was instantly greeted by a mass of students all with water balloons. Stepping back he narrowly missed one as it flew by h...

Busy fingers clattering and populating trends.

Money, money, money, wealth has no end.

This particular day, many trades they had submit.

All calculated and assessed to make a profit.

However, one sneaky tycoon bore a hole in the ship.

Their efforts undone and they would crack and tip.

Are all trades set in completion?

No, it is open on one position. 😮

Grab all the leverage and let us jump with a ...

I wish I were close to you as the wet skirt of a salt girl to her body. I think of you always.”

To my love,

"Maya, I want you to know three rules when going outside. Okay," I told the blue-eyed child. She was so eager to go outside, but I haven't been outside for years. I couldn't even recall what or how people acted. I'm kind of nervous myself.

"Yeah, but I wanna go outshide," she whined. I chuckled at her use of speech as I dressed her into a wool coat.

"Ok-ok. One, hold my hand. Two, stay next to m...

I’m a rarity,

Time stood still but continued,

My form didn’t change,

The first one ended,

I saw, deified, was I,

Time started moving,

I became mortal,

With forgotten memories,

My face I did see....

My dream

I find myself walking alone in the dense mist of a fog, I look over my shoulder trying to see behind me, looking around I can't see nothing but the mist of fog enclosing me in a blanket of silence. Then I hear the heavy breathing of something could it be a man or creature walking around me in the fog, I can sense the evil as fear grips me, what is out there I don't know, I do know ...

I had been driving a while and the hours and the tiredness were creeping up on me. The road stretched in front of me; flat, endless, white striped and boring. I yawned and suddenly something moved in my peripheral vision!

Was it a car or a cat I saw?

Too quickly, my car sped ahead and I will never know....

I should have looked for a job

I should have cleaned my home

I should gone to buy food.

I didn’t need to hit the beach

I didn’t need to take all those pictures

I didn’t need to talk to gulls

I did, did I?

I did need the sea

I did need the sand

I did need the peace

A stressful last few weeks

A cleansing break of waves

A new beginning...

A Haiku:

The King’s messenger

In a regal age, ran I.

Take Sovereign’s voice.

or, possibly

A Poem.

The Knight's Oath.

Do always what is right

And strive ever for your best

For truth shines most in light

And honest deeds are blessed.

Live not on evil!

You’re the apple of my eye.

The cherry in my pie.

My umbrella in the rain.

You take away my pain.

You’re my light when I can’t see.

You bring out the best in me.

You’re the sun who warms my heart.

I knew right from the start.

While I’m sleep you’re in my dreams.

Everything is as it seems.

In your arms I feel so safe.

No, you can not be replaced.

You are you

And I am me.

We are us; it’s plain to...
