Panic Attack | Austin Davis

You would never really compare the rhythm of breathing
in through your nose and out through your mouth
to the waves on a beach dying and being born again

unless you’ve felt your eyes drip out your ears
as a few of your fears suck your veins dry,
the hungry way lovers share a milkshake

and another fear rips out the most personal pages
from the old journal under your bed
and forces them down your throat

until your heart feels like a ball of socks
the kids forgot to find
at the bottom of a Macy’s bag on Christmas.

Criquet le Leaper | Giancarlo

for in dejection
and in hopeless render
on a shaky bastion
I’d write me a letter

two months and more than three
my reality, thine rosy thorn
down, in spiral, can thy see
in impression, was I forlorn

for now, I lay, curled, asleep
tumble dreading, in slippery slope
dreaming, hoping, I can leap
away, toward, in hint of hope

a number of moons, I’d count
a fortnight of five periods in rain
inklings of miseries, oh they mount
blot like ink, tattooed like pain

conquered even the hopefuls
a stretched out, foreboding reality
this land, roamed, by deceitful
now, a broken heart, have I thee

wish I may, the months, I’d skip
else, force embraced all dread
if I could only, through time, I’d leap
towards the time I’ve already med

not one person, would like to be
in the clutch of a weary heart
in wish, leap the future and see
jump in time, for anew, a start

Evening Is the Morning of Gloom | Sudeep Adhikari

i paint the gloom of evenings
in a chiaroscuro-
as the mountains draw sines waves
on the backdrop of an orange
half-death. it’s a dark quietude

that permeates my without-
and a stillness
that breathes amidst the seething
anxieties of this immediate now.

i fear everything at the moment.
the rodent chewing on some roots
outside my window

and the many permutations
of mini-deaths, making
the fabric of my little existential incarceration.

The Poem Seekers Reapers & Re-Writers | Vincent Von Ellesmere

The poem seekers reapers & re-writers.

There’s a secret society of time served master poets.

They flood social media
Like a plague upon groups & pages
They hunt out new blood
fresh meat,
new poets all over the World,
They take down your poems with their paper & pens,
their quills ink & Parchments,
they copy & past,
there’s never an end,
Their time served
master poets of old,

They’ve developed a writers block of crippling anxiety in their minds,
drawn a blank in their once original creative minds & their once original way with words & thoughts,
So they search out young blood
fresh meat from the poetic world of outstanding creativity,
To make the masters feel young once again,
Re-writing your poetry,
Re-wording your poetry,
Until your originals look,
as if they’ve been written by an uneducated clown,
Watch out watch out for the seekers reapers & re-writers are on the hunt, you could be next, I know I am.
