My Perfect Date

by Garry Jones

I took her to the Pictures
Bought her some Dolly Mixtures
This ones easily pleased
I was expecting a box of chocolates;
at the least! ...

Spring of Hope

by Valerie McKinley

A world awash with war,
I drifted in with scent of death
and springtime showers
that lingered,
life support rationed
and formed into
queues of necessity...

Still Life

by Al Ferber

been pronounced guilty
of still enjoying
the fruits of a prolonged
adolescence
still enjoying the miracle
of wet dreams ...

Bonfire of Insanity

by Janet P. Hildreth

Wretches from the torrent bowels of Earth,
Gather at the appointed hour of this day.
Rejoicing in the lying demon’s wicked mirth,
The penitent shall have their Sabbath fey.

The Thirsty Beast From Galaxy X

by John Patrick Magee

The thirsty beast from Galaxy X
landed on earth without his specs
His mission he knew was abundantly clear
to raid all the breweries and steal all the beer...

A Life More Ordinary

by Christine A. Clatworthy

Looks a lot like you, doesn't she? Even that mole, by her left earlobe.
Must have wanted a clone of you, the bastard and when I met her in the pub
could have scratched her eyes out. Wouldn't have done a scrap of good though,
that's why I kept my cool...
