Rachel Flint

In the jewellery box,
The locket he gave her
Lies tarnished.
...

I was the grass at school
I sang to the teacher
Like a canary
I was very hard to like
...

rare is the man
who opens a door
for a woman
so of course
...

the serpent
had to crawl
on its belly
...

I will try to remember
That you are human.
I aim not to build
Your pedestal too high
...

Take me back to that road
With the yellow flowers
And crystal clear blue sky
Where I would run for hours
...

in the future
people will look
back on us
and think we're idiots
...

Forgive me I am a poet
It is my compulsion
To be sentimental
To dream of a better world
...

If the world is going to end
let it go in style
charge all inhabitants an entrance fee
and make it worth their while
...

People might think
I'm egotistical
writing about
myself
...

I probably should
hold my tongue
because its in danger
of falling out
...

Safely positioned on the sofa
Reach for the remote
1 2 3 4
Turn over tv
...

The shadow monsters
On the bedroom wall,
Have sharp claws
And sharper teeth
...

A blank page
can turn into
an adventure
heroes
...

Liquid moments
slip through my hands
and drip out my fingers
as i try to hold on.
...

Everyone walks
in their own little worlds.
Heads full of problems
thoughts and worries.
...

on bahalf
of all turkeys
i would like to thank
vegans and veg lovers

You can drag out a drama if you wish to. You can add an extra act to a play of many parts and still keep your audience keen. Yet, whether you go for a blow-by-blow description of the show, the fact still remains that something is ending.

Should you be strong and assertive, or soft and supportive? Should you make a stand and say your piece, or sit down and listen carefully? It is hard to know the best tack to take. Just dont think too much about it. Trust your instincts.

I do not blame the sun
If it feels jealous
After all
How can it compete
