"Listen (don’t just hear me)" by Megan Conjana
2011-11-09 Nowadays we no longer have time to listenwe are constantly on the move, face facing forward
ears on both sides but they are merely ornaments
to complete the face, the world has deafened us
as people speak we can hear them but are we really listening?
"Mon Petit Choux" by Lorraine Salter

Going with the paces" by Phoebe Daniels

Best friends, turned into enemies,

2011-11-08 Die storie het begin by die local barvan ou Frikkie wat sy brannas geniet

trek hy sy hand deur sy hare en scheme
hy lyk soos ‘n nuwe sixpence
