Time for another of our short cuts collections, of short poems by 3 different authors…
Moonflawed
he waits
for the dice to tumble,
for the scales to fall
like rain
on an autumn night
moon-stricken.
He’s been a long time
being someone else.
* Anne Brooke wonders if the moon is spying on her and what it might think. During daylight hours she can be found at www.annebrooke.com

Rust on a Sledge
Rust on a Sledge
Is like Neville at a Party.
They are both inevitable if
The Sledge has been used
Or if Neville's wife is throwing the party.

See you later bro…
to my good friend Shooey RIP
brother of mine
something
goes on burning
behind the curtains
a trail of smoke
for the moon
leaving stories
of how hard you tried
