What do we gain from growing pains?
Who’s the person who remains?
Who stands by you through the tear-filled rains?
Or believes in your soaring dreams like they are planes?
Who are you when you’re tired and broken, who tries to be your cane?
Is there someone there when you feel like you’ve been struck by a train?
Can you rebuild the pieces like a crane?
Or is there someone else who is the one who slanes the bad to find the good?
You gain the people who keep you dry from the rains of change, the ones who sticks by you like a cane, and pick you up like a crane after getting hit with the betrayal train, and supports you to get to your goals that are as high as a plane, all through your growing pains.

Midnight
60 seconds… 59 seconds… Time was slipping through his fingers, though he clawed at the falling grains of sand, he could not stop the hourglass from flowing. Around him, the silence was deafening. He had taken over every screen in the command centre, putting the terrible seconds before the terrified eyes of his friends and comrades.

Snacktime Sonata Challenge Winners
Well, your Snacktime Sonatas made us hungry, and that’s about the highest compliment we have. Food — taste, smell, sensation — is a powerful conduit to the past, to memories pleasurable and painful and sometimes bittersweet, a mixture of comfort and challenge. Congratulations to Penny Fuller for Sativa — it’s a first win for Penny — a hymn to the “secret, unbounded/freedoms” of fresh peas in the pod. The narrative voice of the poem doesn’t really want to be outside, but finds joy in the green things of the earth; this is a lovely work of resilience.
