Moonflawed<\/span>

he waits<\/span>

for the dice to tumble,<\/span>
for the scales to fall<\/span>

like rain<\/span>
on an autumn night<\/span>

moon-stricken.<\/span>
He\u2019s been a long time<\/span>

being someone else.<\/span>


* Anne Brooke wonders if the moon is spying on her and what it might think. During daylight hours she can be found at <\/span>www.annebrooke.com<\/a>

Rust on a Sledge<\/span>

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


* Ben Macnair is a writer and journalist who lives in Staffordshire. His poetry has appeared in <\/span>Purple Patch, Raw Edge<\/span> and other small print publications, and was featured in the <\/span>National Poetry Anthology<\/span> for 2006 and 2008.<\/span>

to my good friend Shooey RIP <\/span>

brother of mine<\/span>
something <\/span>
goes on burning <\/span>
behind the curtains<\/span>
a trail of smoke <\/span>
for the moon<\/span>
leaving stories <\/span>
of how hard you tried<\/span>
