Over fantastical lands
The heart rests at home.

Poem a Day Challenge #29 (Sometimes)
Sometimes
By Scott Bailey © 2013
Sometimes the things we are due
do not arrive
Sometimes that precious parcel
is lost
Sometimes the blows
are more than we think
we can survive
But we do
It is the ancient sadness
of humanity
Happiness has such
frailty

Poem a Day Challenge #28 (Thirteen Lines)
Thirteen Lines
By Scott Bailey © 2013
The bankers, the police and politicians
laugh at us in their vaults of gold.
Shock and anger and bile!
Such arrogance we behold.
Headlines! Headlines! Headlines!
We MUST have an inquiry!
Heads must rolls, we must have scalps!
Weeks and weeks of fury.
We will not suffer the injustice any longer!
Oh! There’s a royal baby due.
Wait! What? Conkers have been banned!
It’s health and safety gone mad!
What can you do with a shrug?

A sad shadow falls
Casting gloom over our dreams:
Sparks dispel the dark!

Bloody league tables!

Poem a Day Challenge #25 (Tension)
Tension
by Scott Bailey © 2013
Tight when I shouldn’t be.
Wound up in the calm
of home and tranquility
Lacking a balm
Lacking release
of the spring in my neck
the wires in my heart
keeping in check
Blessing abound
around me and yet
contentment’s elusive
crushed by the debt
Of responsible lives
led slowly and sure
This then the malady.
Where then the cure?
