Daphne

Signs we fly away from, some place before sunset, submerged flowers gone, our associate’s due, bringing his astonishing jet, hear whispered thank yous, fire and distant thunder, greet our target, the unfettered amongst us, beyond this daily cruise, our days get frit, fighting over what to do, wash ourselves and wonder, no matter what the bet, somone always goes under, how the world snoozes, untangling our little knot, night cools a morning slew, we know who's split asunder, in our lives of yet, we think of the bonds, paying off the debt.

Camilla

A cold wind blows, it stokes my fear, who remains at home, snow doves arch above, the sky is needle clear, so far away from love, give money for his clothes, everything’s so dear, there are no bad notes, ski with those who live, laughing ups the gear, choose who always will, my vision's very slow, whenever it's unclear know we are never alone, thrown across the slips, worry who comes near, those you'll never hit, wear long coats to show, winter's only once a year, try to reach our saoul, shiny frozen tears.

Bailey

Your smile lets you prance, no fear of being sought, by smart tongued chit chat, let all the bean counters, show you the course, you look good turn around, live what is chanced, sing yourself hoarse, accept praise of your balance, discard those who rant, if they make you taut, forget all the glib answers, hold your nerve and ask, why they're so fraught, sip whisky from a flask, regret missed chances, work out the score, bury failure in the ground, you'll always dance, unlike many caught, won't look askance, at those who are frozen.

Anastasia

God knows if they're right, that he will try anything, sunlight, water, sky, like the tide off Burbo Bank, his smile is estuary wide, begins where I'm back, he never leaves my side, but sits here and sings, like someone on fire, his lungs are like tanks, he bellows take everything, could prise open a bank, next to him i slide, his lips twist sugary, sweetened by constant lies, tobacco blonde eyes cranked, a dancer whose fame decides, to walk tall and swank, I dance in the tide, my day is just beginning, no obe sees me sigh, fresh, alive, giving.

Zuri

Times that brought her, yellow nights of feasting, she dreams of summer, let others condone, that passing disease, leaving of a broken home, more than any daughter, she'll do what's needed, forging her own laughter, like a polished stone, she stands by the sea, understands hurricane zones, love seeps on the air, it reaches her knees, she breasts the water, for matters gone, she knows what to believes, welcomes the dawn, nourished by prayer, she cries when released, someone to care, it isn't that easy.

Yolanda

She laughs and hums a tune, says it’s stupid to lie, it’s just what we do, we stroll around the garden, she gives another sigh, grandkids are late home, it's like a whispered ooh, she stumbles in plain sight, drink fills the afternoon, what makes the same hollow, a broken cry, she thinks of those below, says don’t ask for truth, it's like the night, someone's always ruined, she’s not one for show, not since 1965, says they rolled that blow, gently sipping Vermouth, voices come from on high men tell all they knew, she really did fly.

Xeni

Brilliant stones, whisper your name, shining waters groan, in trouble you heed, find solace each day, soon you'll feel, you are never alone, dance all their games, beat out the moans, protect every sea, don't let panic reign, fishermen tend creels, Calcium is for bones, rely upon staying sane, no one really atones, birds who drop seed, sing only for fame, before a flower bleeds, sing a fiery contralto, weave amongst flames, give everything you own, follow him this way.
