Paper Thin Skin
Their paper- thin skin
Decorated with purple
From every day living
Ma can’t feel the street
Under her feet any more
Won’t wear short sleeves
Fearing folk thinking
Pop’s beating her up
He’s not
Stubbornness and love
Keep them going

Edges
Life barrels along
Without us
Those thrown to the edges
Gasping for breath
Never knowing what hit us
Or why

Dragon Tales
Curled up on a cloud
Dragons recount ancient tales
Lightning sears the sky

Copper Kettle
Copper kettle
Testing your mettle
Metal detectorists
Down on the sand
Under the copper moon

Midnight Skies
Held on gentle wings
Caressing the midnight skies
Starlight guides her way

If I were an Elf
If I were an elf,
Thought the boy,
I could play with the toys
Spread laughter and joy
And always just be myself

Bruise-Purple Spirit
Her bruise-purple
Kicked around spirit
Bravely, yet carefully
Steps out beneath
The twilight sky

Doors
The Cheshire Cat
And the Mad Hatter
Got together
For a jolly good natter
One took the ladder
The other floated
The Cat wearing
His famous grin
Politely enquired
“Shall we go in?”
“No, no,” cried the hatter
“Surely you must know
That’s not what doors are for”
