Jason J Page

Dusk Shadow

And the penny dropped
is there really something
for dinner tonight
No said the man
He had already been
served tapestry from
the table cloth
Pungent purple shimmered
into sight

The man stared into
the moon unable to
share his sight
hunger his weapon
a belly full tonight

Jan Oskar Hansen

Bikini.


Nice to know Britain’s upgrading
Trident, to be nuclear armed will
protect us against those who hasn’t
built the bomb yet, that’s ok then?


The world is a different from yore
the Chinese drive Ferraris, I have
scooter made outside Beijing (turn
left, on the main road to India.)


Used to take girls granted before;
critical, couldn’t make up my mind,
now, are oblivious of my charms,
they are beautiful and I’m alone.


As time knocks on my window,
dreams are meek, nothing about
climbing mountains, but still hope
to inherit brother’s Armani suit

The Cherry Lake (alternative 2, amended)

Still, silent water
Crystal Depth
awash with leaves
(of cherry trees)
lying on a sheet of glass

The Cherry Lake calls
and out of sight as quick as that

the strands of music fall
and spring arrives without delay

The silent morning breaks
into birdsong and ripples

The light comes to invade the senses
with a vibrant colour spray
that tickles

the eyes of morning

The Queens Violin

Erin was the one from the bus
Not that guy called Gus
Mum scolded me in disgust
The way I treated her once
When she was gone it all turned to dust
For thats when people started treating me rough
But now I am ready in this stance
A fallen "Angel" with a Glance
Broken wings a dire dance
For her I will die a thousand times
Before the day turns to dusk

"Happy Birthday Babe for later this month dont think I can make it on the day"
