Hounds Of Madness
by Michael J. Nappi

Shutting the door with a sigh
Running from insanity
A close call, as claws clatter and click

Fanged jaws snap, and fling snotty saliva
Unhinged hounds of lunacy
A ravenous pack, carried on my shoulder

Feverishly followed by fatuous feelings
Never far from crazy

Dear Alice
by Aurelia Lucina Wealthberg

And you dream,
and you try,
but, you're still not alive.

Then you close off again,
and you go home,

and you want to die.

The Curious Case of Sane Mad Men
by Seyi Ojenike

Their minds are a paradox,
A riddle too complex to solve.

by Tammy Darby

In the hours of cold morning mist
Come schizophrenia and creativity's loving tryst
Their offspring

The golden hours of light
The nebulous darkness

Cabin Fever!
by Sameen Shakya

The captain, withered and old, was trapped in his house
Missing the sea, like old captains do.
Suddenly,
An earthquake shook the land, and he believed
He was back in the ocean, and a wave had broken
His ship.
The old captain went out to the streets
Shouting at his crew i.e. the passing pedestrians
To shape up.
Though cars zoomed past, he walked on

Madness
by Jason Lyle

I met Madness in a cafe
on some street corner where the sunlight plays
she ordered the whole damn menu and laughed,
“It’s all for us darling. Eat. I am here to stay.
