GUEST POST // Writing on the Train by Charles Joseph

it’s the sense of having nothing to do—
though surrounded by inspiration
conversations bombarding the ear
start an analyzation.
My thoughts becoming lamps hanging
in the obscure tunnel that i travel
with a hissing passion bringing me
to astonishment.
before my destination, I arrive at an idea sometimes
it waits for me—standing on the platform alone,
in the open air, where cold wind brings the echoes
the bench sitting in suspense, waiting for its purpose

GUEST POST // Red Leicester mine by Jem Croucher

This Red Leicester cheese
is completely divine
but this is not yours
for it’s wholly mine

But if you’re near Co-Op
go get some today
‘cos your mouth will thank me
in every which way

Neck hurts, aching back
Getting older? Yes, I am
Still, glad for the chance

miss cooking for him
and on most days, for her, too
I cook anyway
energy needs assistance
I thrive on this love

GUEST POST // threedom by Cassy Single

you on your own
is fun for a while
you can take yourself shopping
to restaurants, to movies
then you meet someone
and you fall in love
you build a life together
as partners in crime
you think that
there is only so much love
in the world to go around
then you meet someone
who fits in with you both
the duo becomes a trio
a triumvirate of love
two is better than one
three is better than two
you open yourself up
to the amazing person
in front of you
and gain a new family
it turns out
love truly knows no bounds
