Dr Havisham

I still hate him; he was all take, I was all give,


As he found himself, I drifted apart from me,


I was desperate. I thought I needed a


Male.


So I dissected a corpse,


And realised what had I been waiting for?


I was desperate. I needed a....


...I don’t know...something to achieve in the long run, and it was long,


I became a doctor. It was long, slow,


But I did it. And celebrated with a trip...

And plie’

He bends with no hint of a tremble,

An effortless grace,

He is doing it for his daughter,

But he keeps an emotionless face,


And releve’

He rises like a sunflower in June,

Elegance to the tips of his fingers,

As he holds his posture as still as the air,

His daughter’s memory lingers,


And tendu,

He stretches through the sunlight,

His shadow graciously behind,

Remaining focused on the mi...

Returning

I’m thinking of going back,

Back to where it all started,

I’ve only been there once or twice,

And I was satisfied when we parted,


But something wasn’t right,

I looked comfortable but I didn’t fit in,

But I don’t like being awkward,

So I continued to try to get in,


As the days passed and time was running out,

From my mistake, I chose to learn,

So I went back and approached an assistant,

What Rain Brings To Snow

Elizabeth Howard

1 min read

Softness is to anger what rain brings to snow,

Like a friend with a blanket that softens the blow,

Like a cloud which dims the sun to a glow,

Softness is to anger what strength brings to woe,


Hope is to despair what stars bring to night,

Like a pitch black room with key hole light,

Like the blind being blessed with ever so faint sight,

Hope is to despair what courage brings to fright,


Love is to...

There is something calm

About the sun shining through

Drops on the window...

A-Z Of Things I’ve Googled

Adele

Brain tumours

Can gone off milk kill you?

Dream meaning of falling down a well

Easiest way to make 50 quid

Funniest jokes in the world

Good pubs near me

How to de-shell an egg effectively

I can’t hear out of one of my ears

Jobs that don’t kill your soul

Killers on the loose

Lyrics to Little Mix album

Memes referring to office work

Names of people I know

Ocean animals that will freak me out

Cloudy

Why is it

that every morning when the radio comes on

it’s the weather?


And why does

the forecast always predict cloudy skies

with a chance of rain?


Why can’t I

just tune in when a catchy song comes on

Lady Gaga perhaps?


There’s nothing

more depressing than the weatherman

saying cloudy


Why can’t they

say cloudy with a chance of sun

instead of rain?


Why are clouds

enough to trigger a bleak out...

Life Without You

Elizabeth Howard

Life without you,

Is a window with no view,

A street with no lamps,

An invitation with no stamps,

A cake with no topping,

Bubble wrap with no popping,

Sand with no castles,

Birthdays with no parcels,

Football with no goal,

A song with no soul,

Searching for who,

Is a life without you...
