in an urban sanctuary

shadows of a drug deal

fall upon blades of grass

~ Merlene Fawdry

a border of litter

in weed seeded garden

judge not the broken

~ Merlene Fawdry

between the pavers,
born of careless spore
a mushroom triumphs

rising above weeds
it stands tall, in a
world of small things

~ Merlene Fawdry

suspended in time, his pen

poised over words - unwritten

creativity interred with his muse

I'm a third year student, he boasted

stating his position

in the two year course

The power of her smile

illuminated the room,

where the old man lay dying

 and she, only one year old
