Let Yourself Go
by Ron Sanford
A writing block is not so uncommon
When there is malnourishment and pain.
Unfinished tasks lead to further distraction
As you try to stay focussed on a theme.

Multitasking does not come naturally .
So you strive to make it brief
Shake off the fear to make all the ends meet
You are unique. There’s no need to force it.
Simply let yourself go and enjoy the time in space
You’ve been marooned, but you are riot alone
You’ve been rescued.

Like Water
by Mary Daniels
My life does not move like water;
does not flow, like water;
does not glide around bends and rocks, like water;
does not rise and fall gently
with dips in the riverbed, like water;
is not just three atoms, like water
and maybe will never merge with
the oceanic universe, like water
‘when river meets the sea.
Shades of Grey in a Day
by Jaison Kirk
This morning a blackbird was
waiting on the rail by my window
wanting its morning meal.
Building a relationship takes time,
Taking the time to let things happen
is special.
The guy in the grey Porsche with a sunroof
gave me thirteen coffin nails and said,
“I have to give these up”
I guess so do I, saying goodbye to things
is hard sometimes, and sometimes
It’s for the best.
Just move along with someone wonderful
And forget the r e s t
