When Grenfell Fell

by Sharon Morgan

Can you remember the day before the morning after?
When the clock kept ticking, the hours went by;
When your tasks were planned for the day;
Children getting ready for school
Parents getting ready for work
Families getting ready for holidays
Bills to pay, friends to meet, places to visit
Flats to clean when you have a flat.
Is it now a distant memory?

The Itch

by Mollie Keech

Oh, hello itch,
I've not missed you!
Nor your pleading, uneasy,
eager smile,
wicked begging eyes,
and hungry open mouth.
I've quite enjoyed this past while,
lacking your insistent whispers.
Your lustful face
looming 'round each corner of my boxed-up,

England's Greatest Pride (Poem) By Christen Kuikoua

by Christen Kuikoua

Your years have been long and beautiful
You Ruled with Power and Might
Your majesty and your reign were not in question
Because God made you our greatest pride
Unfortunately, today you disappeared in the middle of the unknown
But forever, We your people will remember you Our Beloved Queen,
Queen Elizabeth, Long Lived Your Reign,

For you have delivered us from evil
And make us a family,

Umeed

by Faizan Simnan

ek qafla mai shamil hu aur jaye jaa raha hu
la maqsad hu fir bhi talash-e-manzil ko ja raha hu

chaman main kuch gull hain woh bhi sukhe hain
bewajha unhe mai tar kiye jaa raha hu

barish mai in kagazo ka ek hi markaz hai
fir bhi kashtiya mai banaye jaa raha hu

yun hi khaye ja raha hai khayl usk mjhe

B

by Soham Basu

Her hair is fire
Her face the summer sun

Warmth to the world
But scalding to one

Her eyes are ebony
With a seldom shine

That awaken tremors in

A Tuesday Evening Show

by Hope Norton

There are heavy chains clinging to my body at all times.
They tape me onto a stage where i stand
to perform.
As one of them:
the background requisites.

I am solely somebody’s doll
that will wince, but only quietly,
when you pull out one of her hairs.
And I‘ll make sure to keep my porcelain face

The Sweet Life

by Evelyn Judy Buehler

Sadness
blue, intense
shadowing, overwhelming, clinging
tragedy, misfortune, laughter, fulfillment
startling, healing, cheering
persistent, inexhaustible
joy

Tatters

by Evelyn Judy Buehler

Tatters the clown had brought joy to so many;
But of intense personal joys, he had not any.
Hard luck trailed him, as it sometimes will do,
As dark clouds chase the sun, in skies of blue.

He faced various losses, that made him weep,
Deaths and monetary, by getting in too deep!
Children laughed gaily, to see Tatters coming,
As blooms in silver moonlight, most becoming!
