Rosalie

From her white garden seat, she hangs out a load, time is taken to defeat, feelings like lemons steeped, ravaged lipstick Eau De Cologne, she whispers her secrets, Halloween lovers trick or treat, surrenders perfume soaked, to drink her whisky neat, living by a swollen creek, heaven is her goal, battling granny rolls her sleeves, hanging rifle lifts the sheets, she's no rolling stone, what better cure than ease, whenever wine or beast, isolates her lonely home, plenty are the harvest feasts, Chapel delights her runner beans, there's no public telephone, down these fields of wheat, she's not alone.

Pammy

She has some spark, her lovely face rises, shines early as the lark, she hankers for love, most of her nights, cares about what's above, in a supermarket car park, they ask her why, she hangs around bars, says we all need a crust, singles suit her fine, she doesn’t do doubles, never walks far, to gossip is a crime, each step is another star, works without trouble, unlike other times, Okay, when it's good, knows where's the line.

Ossie

Panic shall never reign, even in my dreams, whoever holds the reins, best not to moan, hold your own creed, batten down in hurricane zones, note down every name, flying birds who’ve flown, they were never tame, whooping as they go, drunk within some airy scene, dancing with their fellows, all that was sacred, but not enough to see, keeps me engaged, problems the wind knows, dissolves but never mean, love given me and shown, all now tumbleweed.

Nolly

In that different scene, when you left home, you didn’t ever dream that you’d re-schedule, start polishing the chrome, sing at the swinging moon, it’s ages where you’ve been, the wind going cold, turning fields to green, waiti outside the school , you could never live alone, fresh smell of their satchels, rain settles on the breeze, to rescue God and love, it makes you feel at ease, Oh you were so cool, laugh now what's come to be, waiting for holidays in June, singing at uncertainty, growl little lullaby tunes, this place sets you free, duties never dues.

Maisie

Please don't act so fine, playing your serious games, needing to chime, whatever you think’s due, colouring a busy frame, spot always what’s new, It never turns out right, living with the stain, sleeping bad, drinking wine, what a lousy tune, let’s leave home you say, better than face these blues, stand naked on the line, look at the empty plain, nothing comes of bad goodbyes, catch this dismal view, others wait for trains, nothing more is true, no life without pain.

Laney

Why always open the gate, they ask, the ghosts who berate, sat on a bar stool, bereft, you never flap, throw parties for fools, know you’ll be saved, just have to tap, on door steps and graves, mark waystones by rule, if you understand, life is a jewel, creed leaves you sensate, dancing in ashes, climb out of that cradle, prise open the moon, tides are running fast, watch them all swoon, back home at last.

Kirsty

Would you even care, why i feel so rotten, swollen beyond a dare, have you read the news, opened up your wallet, i'm in love with you, your hand around me flares, laughs when i startle, signs are showing wear, carry on won't you, under trees or car parks, i'm remaining true, anchors won't bind this girl, ships might roll forgotten, stars run cold before my stare, i'm not a one to stew, God is not for mocking, He is never Blue, flags have you unfurled, can't you see me rocking, is it me you've turned, crawling on the bottom ?
