Part I

My Super Sarah My Super Sister
My sister is my real-life hero.
She is the strongest girl I know.
I call her Super Sarah.

Super Sarah battles her frizzy brain. #Poetry #Spillwords #Fiction #Literature #WritingCommunity

Heartsease
written by: Kim Ports Parsons
 

I’m pulling weeds from a tangled garden bed.
It’s impossible to stop invasives returning.

Rudbeckia and aster shine in September’s glow,
despite the bindweed and purslane burgeoning. #Poetry #Spillwords #WritingCommunity #Literature #Fiction

Strange

Strange
How relationships change
From can’t live without them
To refusing to utter their name

Strange
How quickly love becomes hate
From best friends forever
To not even mates

Magical Mystery Tour
a poem by: Charles Bukowski
 

I am in this low-slung sports car
painted a deep, rich yellow
driving under an Italian sun.
I have a British accent.
I'm wearing dark shades
an expensive silk shirt.

Survive The Beast
written by: Cocopops
 

Stop it please, It's all too much
Burdens heavy, Shackles strong
Searching the sky, Air suffocating
I cannot breathe, My chest in pain

Mind becomes faint, Body weakening

Birthday Party
written by: Raymond Isakow
 

Like a flock of blind street pigeons,
The children milled around on the front lawn.
Unusually quiet and anxious, for a party,
But taking comfort in being in a group.

Love in Vein
written by: Fiona Paterson
 

In my veins such love floods.
Intra-venous.
Yet, Venus, what serum injects so, shooting with such alacrity,
Pumping through the body?
Venous blood de-oxygenated at elevated rate runs towards #Spillwords #Fiction #Literature #WritingCommunity #Poetry

Too Young
written by: G.R.F.
 

Aren’t we too young?
Scars on our arms,
Tears in our eyes,
Aren’t we too young to self-harm?

We are too young to worry-
Our school gets bombed.
Our friends get killed.
When will it be enough? #Literature #Poetry #WritingCommunity #Fiction #Spillwords

Frequency, Vibration, Energy
written by: Edward Donnelly
 

A gold light cast on a ripple of fresh water,
leading me to you.
You reached for me from the darkness.
I found your finger,
energizing my tiny heart.

Hamlet in the Movies
written by: Angie Underwood
 

‘Action!’ just a word, I know,
but loaded as a gun.
‘To be, or not to be?’ I think,
‘Now that’s a tricky question!’
My trigger finger lingers…
then someone hollers ‘Shoot!’ #Spillwords #WritingCommunity #Fiction #Literature #Poetry

The Vineyard
written by: Angela Huskisson
 

A single raisin rests.
Lost in summer heat.
While Enzo unravels his life
And all he has known on this Tuscan hillside.
His lifeblood seeping through ebb and flow.

The raisin, once round #Literature #WritingCommunity #Spillwords #Fiction #Poetry

Rhododendron, Iris, Dianthus
Big blooms, tiny blooms
Buds ready to open
Spiderwort, roses
Rainbow of colors

Valentine
a poem by: Elinor Wylie
 

Too high, too high to pluck
My heart shall swing.
A fruit no bee shall suck,
No wasp shall sting.

If on some night of cold
It falls to ground
In apple-leaves of gold
I’ll wrap it round. #Literature #WritingCommunity #Poetry #Fiction #Spillwords
