Just Relax
He said, "just relax" Innocence left the playroom No going back now This was inspired by Frankie Goes to Hollywood's Relax which was wildly popular when I was young and teenaged me had no idea what it was about.

The Right Home... 🏡
Crab scavengers hunt… Sagely and with diligence… For the right home… Author's Note: I recently watched a couple of YouTube videos that effectively showcased the plight of many hermit crabs, who are losing their shelled homes because human vacationers often take shells they find on the beach as souvenirs home with them.

Love shook my heart
Then love shook my heart Like the wind on the mountain Shaking the oak trees From a fragment by Sappho I have rendered one of Sappho's best know works into a 5-7-5 format because the verse works so well as a haiku.

There are so many amazing people also creating poetry around this theme but I can only access Vocal on this old phone and can't log in on any computer now for some reason or other... So not doing well at responding to feedback but know I really appreciate it. And if you're from Vocal please respond to my cries for help via email ❤️

Rose Wounds
wounds fill with roses pain blossoms into beauty love is its own thorn This is inspired by the title of Johnette Napolitano's song Leonard Cohen's Roses, but it's more about when I think of Leonard Cohen's voice singing songs like Anthem or Dance Me to the End of Love.
