An Offering of Poetry
Squiggly lines on tree made pulp
That’s all it is
Composition of ideas to plead a case
That’s all it is

Missed Appointment
Recycling bin’s due out. I’ve checked the date.
But when I reach the corner where it’s stored,

My Batley
by Anas Daji
My home town, my beautiful town
The special place where I was born
Where I learned to tell the truth
Where I learned to love the world
Smile
Smile and the world smiles with you
And I promise you, they will do
Don’t waste your life by doing wrong
Those happy times won’t last for long
A Moment in Time
A moment standing, silent, stilled.
A moment to remember when young blood spilled.
A moment for thoughts of loved ones we lost,
fighting for England, their lives were the cost.
