For what
Image Maker: Hisaharu Motoda
It marked
the end of an era
walls fallen
empires faded
so sweet victory
except once they
were the victor
as your dances
flicker on the reels
of tomorrow
Random word: Victor

It isn't chicken to save eggs from Easter
‘I’ve me flask so I’m set,’ Vera said.
Given she was ninety, Vera knew the Ande battery staff couldn’t just heave her out. She was the distraction as the hens were rescued.
As she said to the police, ‘A hen in the bush, is worth two in the Ande.’

And one day steam will rise and they will know death
Image Maker Delen
The storm crashed the privateer into Peking before it could engage with the Chinese airships. The disaster proved to Queen Victoria that the future was in steamplanes. But heavier-then-air flight research would only intensify the cold wars with Red and White Russia. She decided that this was one for Torchwood.

Leadership is more then the rewards of office
‘Sire, the Vampires will forgo the blood fee for sea access.’
The Duke distracted with bosoms, said,‘So be it.’
‘Sire, what of the Harvest ships,’
The Duke weary of responsibility dismissed him.
The Minister’s solution was a personal sea voyage with a letter that offered the Duke as blood fee.

Give me the child and I have the man
That the child screamed silently through his eyes was good. Crying ended at last. Soon his pain would became the suffering of his subjects.

If was the promise
She waited as her table is swaddled in linen
a rough white smoothed by china cups
filled with tea of misty hills,
the angel cake cut into slices for
rouge lips that smother reputations,
gently with only a hint of malice.
Once, in secret she had waited beneath a clock
cold and wet for his eyes of water,
a coat held tight over a silk stocking promise.
He had made her warm with a touch that woke
the splash of a green-blue sea under a white sun.
He wears now the mask of the smiling god.
wooing the lost, the silent, and the tearful
who want a scrape goat to take on sins.
She is a swept floor, a neat bed,
a closing door with polite pecks
who watches a flickered screen for love
knowing the white lies and black promises.
The whisper of the room filling
snuffs out her thoughts and she turns
eyes blind to show others the light.
Random Word: If

Election Promises
We
promise
that taxes
will be lighter.
Yes folks, lower then
those scoundrels in power.
Your hospitals and schools safe
from cuts and free to those that need.
And we will keep out the immigrants
and sing of the land that is good and free.
We’ll whisper
you
the truth.

Describing your life (or something) on at the moment of writing on a Saturday in a phrase using just six words.
The Left won’t play together so...**
The UK general election has resulted in no overall parliamentary majority but the left and centre parties are not thinking of joining forces so allowing the Tories in to slash and burn public services.

You can play nicely when its your rules
‘We find our children loose their spark if they experience F.A.I.L.U.R.E. In our Pass the Parcel, children individually swop and share so they can experience the importance of giving.’
‘It ain’t the real world.’
‘At St Oswald's, that's the world our parents pay for. Are you perhaps seeking a scholarship?’
Random Word: Sportsmanship

Learning the art of politics

An inconvenient truth
You ask why this boy sews? Because without his pennies, the family hungers. You in the West with your Empires, struggled over lifetimes to stop children working in the factory as they once did on the land. Why ask us to be better then you, with what you left us?
Random Word: Convenience
Why the H-Bomb ended war
‘I tell you, a sharp blade at the end of muskets, will end war.’

Compassion - western version
Random Word: Veggie
‘We keep two sets of pans, one for us and one for the meat eater - daddy he won’t budge. Yes we stopped eating meat after the Congo holiday. Starvation, quite ruined the trip. So now we are organic and only eat out if they are Michelin. Less air miles, darling.’

And the sins of the father…
Random Word: Ripple
He heard on the radio about the Berlin airlift but he was too sore to care. He would be so different. What did dad know about Vietnam, his head hurt and he would do things better.
So we kicked ass in Iraq, the boy needed to learn what was right.
