  • my inky mouth
    by bellmusker

    Right down the length of your shuddering spine

    Sometimes the muse just wants to play with you. You should always let her. Otherwise she gets cranky; and that ain’t pretty.

  • Children at Play
    by Julie Langford

    Temper tantrums, ugly looks / Teeth bared, and nails like hooks

    Thats life! It’s been like this at my house today. Two teenagers, one far more noisy than the other – it’s so easy to take the side of the wrong one in the name of peace and quiet, thinking, the quiet one won’t answer back, but it doesn’t always work – Something I try to avoid at all costs here,

  • Play me a new note
    by Plum

    For each person counts in the sound they make / All are instrumental in shaping the future

    This poem came from thinking about history and how it does often repeat and how we can make a difference, even if its through what we think, what lives in our hearts …

    Babies grow so very quickly. My son is no exception! It seems that he was just being handed to me like a little baby burrito, all red and squinty! Now I am planning his first birthday party…albeit 3 months in advance…but still!! This poem is for him of course. Though he grows fast, I have no regrets, because I truly savor our time together and that’s all you can do!

    The bag is not irrelevant but it’s appearance, size and purpose is.

  • Playing for Change....
    by Sheila Pasket

    CHANGE…..what a concept

    Featured in Live, Love, Dream May 2009! I am honored, blessed and floored by this feature. Thank you so much!! Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” ~John 20:29 Choose Greatness…Choose GOD! When given the option for greatness in life, it’s easy to opt out time and time again, until it becomes a habit. “This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him? Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth. This then is how we know that we belong to the truth, and how we set our hearts at rest in his presence whenever our hearts condemn us. For God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything.” ~1 John 3:16-20

  • Porcelain (extract from a one act play)
    by Stacey Hatton

    (PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION FIRST) JASON: (JASON turns away from her. Pause.) I’m going to bed. SARAH: Fine… (She listens) It’s st…

    This is an extract towards the end of a short play I wrote for Uni 2 years ago. I’m quite proud of the piece, and this is one of my favourite parts. I don’t know how well it will work as an extract because there are some references to things which have significance earlier in the play (like the fact that Sarah never finishes any of her writing). Please let me know what you think of if you’d like to read the entire piece. What gradually unravels earlier in the play is that Sara has had an abortion and is now regretting it. She’s been a little messed up ever since and Jason can’t seem to understand. It’s putting a strain on their relationship. At this point in the play the separation between them lessons and Sara manages to lead Jason into her imaginary story of their ‘could have been’ daughter. It’s a kind of bittersweet moment for the couple. The entire play is set in their bedroom, which consists merely of a white double bed, white dresser and mirror.
