Pen to paper
Why should you support poetry? Imagine, being able to unscramble the thoughts in your mind. Every little detail. Even the ones that, seem unrealistic. Sometimes even unfathomable. You know the ones where you think to yourself “that is crazy” or “I must be the only one that thinks that”. But somehow, in your mind, these thoughts make sense. So for a moment, just imagine, being able to make it make sense on paper. Written in biro, unable to erase it. All your thoughts, feelings, beliefs, anything and everything. The ink just flowing onto a5 paper, a4 if you have it. The pen doesn’t even feel punished for the drainage, just relief because it’s spilling truth. Spilling honesty. Spilling freedom. Transparency in its truest form, this isn’t something you’ll want to contour. Raw and unedited, even the lines through the ‘wrong’ words show character, because they’re still being seen. Scrambled thoughts being unscrambled.

Sandwiches. I make cut out shapes for my daughters lunch. Ham sandwiches, cheese sandwiches..whatever filling she likes. I use my scissors to cut and mould a different shape everyday. A heart, a circle, sometimes even a Roblox character if I can. A knife, a little difficult to navigate the curves..shape cutters, where can I even store them? But scissors..my favourite utensil! I can’t explain how much easier it is, you really have to try it yourself! Even the crusts..it’s so much easier. When she gets to school all her friends say “Luna let me see your sandwich today!” This has become her ‘thing’. I love it! It gives her excitement, thrill and actually it makes her eat her lunch! (She can be a fussy madam)

A day in the life.
“I think I’m safe here, she can’t see me…I bet your wondering who I am, You can call me Noah; as you can see I am a bee.. I’m trying to escape from Mrs. Clarey’s house. She has some kind of underlying problem with me, every time she see’s me, she tries to squat me. Why? I haven’t got a damn clue, your gonna have to ask her. Sometimes It’s like she thinks I’m a killer bee, I don’t know how everyone says we all look alike. I don’t sting Mrs Clary… I’m flying around minding my business, fixing YOUR flowers and you still chase me. Honestly, she’s so un-grateful she doesn-!
