Habitual Discussion
Where sky meets earth they stood in wait
for the hesitant sun to reach its hole.
In a ground no different then its own,
a place to call its home.
In waiting they were shy, but not consumed
to taking the first plunge of talk.
All questions not alone, for some
were present underground.
All they had to do was look and see
to unearth a special cause to speak.
All that could precede would be
some kind of memory.
They stood in open air to see
each other in a lighted scene.
Under stars not alone, for some
were present underneath.
So listen when they talk to you,
it's a special cause to speak.
As ready as the stars could be
to make a memory.

Poetry: Strangers
Here I am-just me
No interruptions.
Pleased to meet you, hand extended.
Here you stand;
you are somebody,
you’re going
Strangers
Be wary of strangers we are taught
Talking to strangers a last resort
We teach our children to do the same
Only
by L D Redmond
Children, ever talk to strangers.
Now children, listen very carefully
for I have something to say.
It's very important you
The world is full of strangers
People you don't know
Or care about
This street was once your
Full of people you would greet
But
by Laura Hurst
Sleep peacefully as you have done before
Its shadow cast upon your door
A figure of evil in darkness creeps
looms over bed
