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.

Willa

Time jingles and sings, my insides screech, I need another drink, between home and missing you, help me to frame, what I need to do, your smile shrinks, lemon blue by the sea, makes me stop and think, why kill the truth, ditch my own conceit, a conscience keep in ruin, in another blink, so eager to squeeze, memories, thought you were a king, they echo my blues, why make a coward's retreat, no dreams to rue, wait here's a chink, my stars scattered easy, fly away before i sink, you won't sleep easy.

Verity

Make offers out of pity, nothing by eternal grace, absolves my swollen feet, betrayed in my moans, I wander about this place, thumpong heart against bone, there is no churning story, blown in on the rain, for me to do solitary, alone at some grotto, I still see his face, why ask me to atone, slay all my mystery, given holy days, what price is offertory, my sad jokes tell me, fools play useless games, he's still here beside me, I don't plan to deceive, use ribbons as a piety, who would believe, I asked him to stay ?

Una

My good parts, I can firmly state, belong with the Arc, I look at the moon, a spring tide today, everything comes too soon, my eyes dart, wouldn't it be great, to make a new start, live somewhere cool, my tickets ready but wait, can't take more bad news, a psychiatrist a star, says emotion's only a name, I'll sell my car, will take the other route, smile before I hesitate, a kiss before curfew, no one tears me apart, tides bear me away, I'm too smart, to wait for days.

Timmy

Why live in a haze, fight battles with the wind, mends cuts with cellophane, best not to moan, burn to fit in, life is only a loan, when you buck the grain, scour the earth's rim , find a perfect bargain, wear your worn-out clothes, don't pick up the Gin, you're not on your bones, make a step change, think what you'll win, find love instead of trade, if someone groans, says they're not trim, get out of that zone, unbroken by chains, let your dreams skim, uncertain days, fly as a legend.
