Shearing Pen<\/span>


If we don't sheer the woolly buggers<\/span>
they will bleat themselves to death<\/span>
and standing in the pen,<\/span>
we blather on about it<\/span>
until they do.<\/span>



* Dianne Feaver lives in Canada, she's been writing about for 20-ish years and says she prefers formal rhyme but dabbles in free verse \u2013 and is currently an artist working in oils.<\/span>

LILY, SWIMMING<\/span>


part of this watery<\/span>
other world,<\/span>

a ghost of herself,<\/span>
she glides from<\/span>

one side to the next,<\/span>
the light on<\/span>

the surface like a net<\/span>
she slips through<\/span>



* <\/span><\/font>Nigel Pickard's first collection Making Sense<\/span> was published by Shoestring (2003), his first novel, One<\/span>, by Bookcase (2005). <\/font>
