Lost Thoughts

one, two, three
broken dreams and shattered memories
searching desperately for a means of escape
we need to be set free
four, five, six
time ticks on and we’re stuck inside our heads
trapped on this mystery track to nowhere
someone set us free
seven, eight, nine
a spark of vivid imagination
endless pain released like butterflies
an idea, a thought, a memory
ten, eleven, a dreamlike state of mind
ink on paper, pain on canvass
wandering out of reality
eleven years of lost thoughts

by Ruby Tinson

Dreams

Close your eyes
and you are plunged into a world of dreams and colour
open your eyes
what’s the difference?

by Tilly Stephen

Grow

like wild flowers
we must allow ourselves to grow
In places people never thought we would

by Tanaya Kerley

Happiness Haiku

Happiness is great
but maybe not the best
instead love someone

by Jeana Stephens

Autumn

Kicking through the fallen leaves
Taking in fresh air
Walking under endless trees
Wind flying through my hair

Waking up to darkened skies
Scraping out of bed
Getting dressed while rubbing eyes
I’m such a sleepy head

Finally, the time has come
To go outside again
Autumn is my favourite time
But winters come instead

by Tara Mulvey

Voices
I sat and stared with tear filled eyes
A part of my heart gone
My voice rises up in song
A golden ribbon flying the skies
It dances around with the tune
As it rolls down the valley like mist
Then it rises again in a fist
Then it stops and goes, just as soon

Magic from the Heart

Magic comes from the heart
Magic comes from the sea
Magic is a miracle
it helps even the littlest things
magic is everywhere if you believe
