Motion
Life is always in motion
You stop to think
But how can you stop when your day is a constant commotion.
You stop to wonder; what, why, where and how
Just how did today get to a point of complete devastation?
How do I become me again
How do I stop the isolation?
Who can help you when you’re not sure how to help yourself anymore?
Should you carry on pretending to be strong or should you realize you’ve been shaken to the core?
Maybe I should listen to everyone’s opinions and advice,
How do I choose?
Should I count to ten and roll the dice?
Do the obvious thing Hannah, be happy and stay safe.
If only life was so simple,
If only life was so straight.
They say day to day gets easier,
And that time is a great healer.
There is only hope, pride and strength waiting
But for now that man is screaming in my silence.
One day amongst all the world's commotion,
I’ll be standing there smiling even through my shyness.

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.
