Quincey

My safety and hope, stretches lovely ways, how I’ll always cope, maybe will go home soon, in a sun that's flays, anyone's lonesome blues, on City's gentle slopes, feel it bounce and sway, splice the brownstone, when evening's are due, debts get paid, the avenue plays tunes, wonder my parents know, how hard I pray, different tales unfold, kids furl like schooners, everyone needs praise, we are never losers, to celebrate the day.

Paula

I hate the dull why, the pleadings for ease, in sought after light, it's why am stirring, making chocolate madima, my voice slurring, a drink of the wine, play tunes of the season, God knows I'll be fine, might boil the kettle, an afternoon's reason, marks the day's bearing, who cares about time, to spend in this prison, like christening a child, the kids will be sharing, regular as the heating, another lilac evening, their faces chime, beneath a moon’s steeple, no one thinks to deny, Mama's love leanings.

Ollie

Stumbled steps at evening, heart beats like a train, shallow ocean breathing, you could give a whistle, by some stunted door frame, I'd stand there twisted, wish more than anything, this was a different game, to prevent those scenes, the sight of you regretful, leaving from the station, a face torn and fretful, it's fame on cafe ceilings, that baritone serenade, can't you spare my feelings, you journey is by ship, carried on the sea lanes, please remember my lips, in Operas you name.

Nina

Who will tend our bones, listening to the rain, does a river run alone, let our song ring, on slow suburban trains, birds will hear us sing, herring gulls that soar, may we wash the pain, through their eerie moans, crying is a broken wing, forget those winter days, discarded wedding rings, swore we’d never go, just to count our gains, stuff everybody knows, our best is everything, always find new ways, throw off our suffering, Summer's here again .

Molly

Who’s your next date, my lover asks me, I look at empty spaces, am sat here churning, in case you can't see, states of my yearning, thoughts aren't great, at such infidelity, but I dance them away, freedom is not fairness, not for anyone but me, fear a world burning, what I have to explain, to let him know subtly, the sky has changed, think of being honest, I point along the beach, seas are not for turning, 'You' i screech.

Lila

if You don’t’ create, in this house of spirits, others will not hesitate, if you’re at home, your bones in bits, ferocious enemies will gloat, laughter sealed on a plate, how they'll rub it, to put you in a crate, never bow to little jokes, when taken to your limits, losers always provoke, bolstered by a certain grace, even love becomes visible, happiness is not just taste, never one to slope, , warmth is your greatest gift, you'll never be alone, tides turn in the Bay, seas might writhe and twist. Oceans dance to your pace, make the most of it.

Kelsey

Why dream of empathy, sitting on a wall, too afraid to speak, enough to raise the flame, risk fears of being torn, the useless dates we make, she waits for the seasons, with her crown of thorns, it's too late for reason, searches about the place, wonders if forlorn, she has to act brave, acts like she's received, orders to be joined, go swimming in the sea, lends a hand that shakes, listens to his call, knows whey she hesitates, asks is this really me, jellied to the core, a flower of tranquility, maybe this is love ?.
