I posted this a while ago, but it has now been accepted for inclusion in the " Poets Of The British Isles 2006" Anthology.


A Mothers Fear.

Children in the playground
Children in the park
Never leave a child alone
To wander in the dark

The world is full of demons
Some real some make believe
That wear the cloak of decency
Like a weapon to deceive

Predators that stalk the land
Their hearts and souls defiled
To destroy the face of innocence
Of one that is a child.

You did a really nice job with the wind, never a falter or a stutter!
