My Kid

The levy broke

and waters ran

A portent of a new

lifespan

To a place lit

with sterile lights

of stainless steel

Chemical flights

Mop a brow

hold a hand

A soothing word

a useless man

A final quake

One cry is two

Orchestra of girls

One old one new

I hold the life

like mad parents did

and say hello

To my new kid.

es, taking your children to the park can be exhausting. But when they have a great time, also very rewarding. It’s swings and roundabouts.

Great diverse short stories

Format: Paperback Verified Purchase

Love this writer I bought his previous books and in my opinion this is the best so far. The stories are much more diverse than the others. For a book of short stories there are a lot there, great to pop in and read as and when you want to. Read mine on the train, I laughed out loud at one point making my fellow passengers jump out of their seats. Recommended read....
