We Can Swing Together
Inspired By A Lindisfarne Song About Togetherness And Vocal Social Society's #BetterTogether Vibe
Introduction
I was listening to Lindisfarne's first five albums and there are so many songs on there that I could use to inspire poetry, then "We Can Swing Together" came on, and it's about a party being broken up by the police and the partygoers ending up in jail before the beak, but it is all very light-hearted and fun and I thought that title reminds me of the Vocal Social Society #BetterTogether hashtag, and it is so much better when we work together rather than fight. So here we go.

Just Another Man
Introduction This came from a chat with someone very special, the song is one she loves. I tried to weave some elements of the song into the villanelle but if you listen as you read you may hear where Shania's words and mine coincide.

Cages of Emotions
Fear is a beast An hungry one at that Feasts on the liver first Keeping dreams grounded Never to take flight Sadness comes in to visit in tow With depression Then anger sets in To fight the denials Scaring away all hope and happiness Pains is felt all over As dreams seem to seep away In silence But what are we without them What are vessel without its content What are human without emotions Nothing But mere emptiness A dried husky shaft Yet with emotions, all focus is lost All strategy ridden with flaws All aims at the target is off All thinking is less that straight As we bend under emotional weight We are but cages of wild emotions That would never stay put As Fear joust with reason Anger with calmness Sadness trying to overcome happy states Depression over clouding motivation We humans docile vessels Of emotional party animal Feel the turbulence within As all emotions fights To be the first one out And when they do come out Anger manifest in fury of punches Fear manifest in flight As happiness in tear of joy Making the world a zoo Of emotional experiences Seen in dramatic expression In every single Cage

In The Blink of Her Eye
Time itself bent and morphed, allowing Shannon the precious seconds needed to see and adjust to the disaster unfolding in front of her. Each frame showed minute details she would have missed had the clock not slowed down until she heard every click of the hands as they swept toward the end of everything. If only she was being melodramatic...
