WHERE HAVE THE FAERIES GONE?

BY IVOR STEVEN/

AUGUST 21, 2023/

    Ivor Steven / Coffee House Writers

    Deep in the enchanted forest
    Under mossy rocks and water-reeds 
    I found an iron-bar door
    Lying over a sinkhole in the creek bed

    I wondered and yelled out
    Eerily, a gentle voice replied
    “Do not worry, we are sheltering here” 
    “Why are you hiding?” I inquired 
    “We are waiting for humanity  
    to stop the carnage on our planet”

    Then, peering up from lower in the chasm
    I witnessed that the small luminous eyes  
    Of Earth’s guardian faeries 
    Were en masse, joyless, and crying

    The Resurrection of Shadows


    You! It’s time to take cover

    Beware! Shadows have changed colour

    And are reaching across the ground

    Crying to the world, “It’s time to turn around”


    Shadows have learned to crawl and walk

    In the daylight, they brawl and talk

    Shadows are tired of being ignored

    And eager to leap off the billboards

    Shadows will ascend to fight the evil warlords

    And liberate the embattled horde

    An Untravelled Highway


    Hello newcomer

    How long have you been there?

    A stranger in a strange land

    Standing alone on harsh ground

    Living between a barbwire barrier

    And an untraveled highway


    Where do you come from?

    My coloured one

    Where are you going?

    Within our vast island home

    I wonder. Will you be accepted

    By other pretentious squatters  

    With tolerance and compassion

    CRACKS AND HOLES

      Coffee House Writers / Ivor Steven


      There are cracks on the internet 
      Is there a hole in the alphabet? 

      There are cracks in the ground 
      Is there a hole in the Pound? 

      There are cracks in my skin 
      Is there a hole in the garbage bin? 

      There are cracks in the skyline 
      Is there a hole in my shrine? 

      There is a crack in my Mind 
      Is the world a hole in decline?
