Storm
A Storm hammer thumped and sparked the east coast of England. With the storm came the bite of a frost lion. The lead sea was calm the morning after. I walked across a quagmire dug by the heavy wheels of a summer festival. I came across a shanti village of five tents. There were people living outside at the beginning of a hard North Sea Winter. The year was 2021, for those living in their tents it could easily have been 1721, although in 1721 they may have been permitted to build a small fire for cooking and warmth. They lived about 200 metres from a police station with a row of warm cells. On...

Another Power cut
It happened again this afternoon. I’d made a late lunch. I’d just finished a language lesson. I was trying to send an email but the wireless connection failed. Even more telling, I could hear a neighbour’s alarm, like before when a local power cut had occurred.
The same panic struck me. The fear of starving and of getting abandoned in the dark and the late autumn chill. Visions of hunger.
Plus, anger.
I hurried out, hoping to get a warm sandwich, but the electricity in the local bakery had failed – so I ordered vegan chocolate cake and coffee but then...

10 DUP suggestions
1 If you can, thank someone for taking the time to read and comment on your poem.
If not, go to hell.
2 If you're a male writing as a female, let people know. If not, they may not trust you anymore when they find out. If you decide to keep it a secret, go straight to hell.
3 Be honest in your comments. If something confuses you it shouldn't be an offence to ask the writer politely about it in your comment.
4 DO NOT TROLL ANYONE, PUTTS. If you do, go straight to the halls of hell!
5 Express yourself the best you can. Learn what metaphors...

Meet my friends :3
Do you feel like you do not belong here?
Acceptance is a process isn’t it..
I’ve never shown this side of myself before.
You and I,
We might find our place in this world someday.
(PS: I am an adult.)
(PPS: I apologize for not knowing more gender identities)
