'To The Trees' a terza rima by Caroline Burrows @VerseCycle

‘To The Trees’

a Terza Rima

by Caroline Burrows @VerseCycle

Cycling home, the road levels out,

But rising anxiety sends

Me round bends, to where there’s less doubt,

To the trees I regard as friends,

Who line the off-road travelled less.

One branch to another extends,

Leaves whisper their soothing caress,

Their green sanctuary easing stress.

A Secret Garden

In a land said to exist.

In a town suggested by faith.

On a street where nobody lives –

is a house that may or may not be there.

And a garden of possibilities.

Where grows the fruit of imagination.

Where potential blossoms, rain a sweet water.

A garden tended with subtlety and care.

Where the bee prospers and sun lingers

and none shall starve for the want of beauty

By Bruce McRae

This poem 'Weapons Down' is written by Sophia Behal.

I, pointing at you soldier

with my daisy.

I will do it to ya.

I guess daily.

"Dear Sinister

how hard

is it to see, a

wonder

a flower?"

"Weapons down," I say,

Bloody hell,

Breaking the spell.

Prevent a catastrophe!

Soldier after soldier,

Soldiers; "one by one

don't point the gun.

no more pointer, Soldier!"

Meanwhile

at another grail

"I try to point

a weapon at you!

the joint -

a giant -

daisy grew!

Ha, again!

For you."

Yes, it's us solving the

guns' matter,

let a daisy

be the letter.

Yes, it's growing out the

gun's barrel better.

So, let the daisies

save the days.

Wherever,

stop never.

Don't let it be.

Let a daisy save lives, daily.

The rain drop

As the rain drops on my head,

it cools my tensed up scalp,

and trickles down my head.

Descending upon my face,

touching my forehead,

eyelids, cheeks and chin,

dry.

Impoverished!

It waits there till it next falls on my bosom,

plum yet suckled.

It follows my stomach

and my womb that breeds life,

and flows through my legs up to my feet.

All thirsty and unfed.

The little drop tries

to cure my needy body’s ailments

But it can’t

owing to its small size,

And yet it tries!

It tries to feed the skin,

n which many fed,

it tries to quench the thirst-

seldom met,

until it too vanishes within the earth

alike thousands of such explorers!
