Anna - July 1st, 2024
by Gilligan Snolepart
Anna dances
She pirouettes
From the get go she said it all
I am so cold
Crying inside
I am alone
Will you hold me
And for all the grit that I show
Would you like to

Middle Eight - 7th June 2024
by Gilligan Snolepart
Oh isn't it nice when
I'm napping on the sofa after a long day
And the phone beeps
It's a match on the dating app
Where she says hello straight away
So I say hello back
And 15 mins into it, we decide to meet now
I run up the stairs to
Brush my teeth, trim my shave

A Light in Smedley park
by Robert Chase
Amongst the ordinary, you shone with an uncommon brilliance
In the overcast dimness of the grove, you cast a welcoming glow
Enveloped by the chill of the afternoon, you warmed with an inner essence
Again
by Robert Chase
So happy to see blue skies again
Billowing whites floating along like cotton candy
Thick summer breeze blowing out smoke and haze
So happy to breathe easy once again
Sipping on margaritas - eating chips and guac
You looking so cute in faded red and blue
Conversation flowing as smoothly as tequila and lime
Punctuated by smiles and gentle laughter
We shared our stories, then strolled the trail

a shameless love letter to that guy from tinder
by Allyson Sirois
two months of you felt like a single exhale
lost in the wind
like a sustained eye contact from that beautiful girl walking past
too short to fully appreciate
long enough to think about all day
we slept a bit less
to taste each other a bit longer
I daydreamed the days after
with bags under my eyes that safely kept memories

We talked of Beginnings
by Robert Chase
We sat at the lake and talked of Beginnings
Difficult to concentrate - with your head thrown back
the sun glistening
on your caramel skin
head to pink-socked toes
You talked of how beginnings always end
Fits of complacency and contempt
Meaning settled on me like thick honey
Wanted to say we were an exception
