Coal Miner's Baby (Magpietales)

Clarence Holbrook Carter
 

Coal miner's baby
in the shadow from the hills

filled with Black Diamonds!

All smudged from head to toe

from ever present carbon

as steam rises from the hills.

Dame waits patiently

Safe return of man from the hills

filled with Black Diamonds?

Mondays Child #44 - Pink Pixie Patty

Illustration: Cicely Mary Barker
 

Pink Pixie Patty
Feet planted on the Chive
Watches mister Bumblebee
Feeling Quite Alive

Pink Pixie Patty
From flower to flower flies
Spreading pollen here and there
Traveling through the skies

Pink Pixie Patty
Flitters just the same
Speading magic pixie dust
With no particular aim

Pink Pixie Patty
Wings start again to beat
Heading out again today
There are others yet to meet.

What Lies Beneath (OSS)

Photo by Rosa Frei

What lies beneath
the veil of black?

What secrets does

it’s folds hold back?

Eyes show doubt

and lack of trust

Such sadness at

a world unjust.

Or is the face

just a worn down mask

Weathered by the blistering

sand blasting task

The Borders of My Life (For OSI)

The Borders of My Life

Are Positive In Some Respect

The Provide Me With A Structure

Allow Me To Know What To Expect

The Borders of My Life

Can Be Negative I Know

They Fence Me In Inside Myself

Not Allowing Me To Grow

The Borders of My Life

I Must Choose Which To Allow

Knowing Those To Follow

The Others To Disavow
