Dispossessed

© Simon J Ashcroft, 2026

Dispossessed We are the dispossessed, living by flame in a world grown colder than our hearts’ hope. Listen, where the wind plays across bare stones; a tune on ancient bone too tired to care. Hear, the Sea’s complaints, raised against our souls, grown heavy, turgid with such emptiness. The wild heart cries its pain, defiantly, against our vain pretence that we are free. Where is our lost home, now? Where are the fires of hearths we lost to time, in trade for nought? We, the dispossessed, gave what we should be as if a fair exchange for all we are. © Simon J Ashcroft, 2026

    Watersmeet

    © Simon J Ashcroft, 2026

    Watersmeet Where are the eyes that, kindly, look upon the sea? The writhing mass of struggling souls; tides of weariness, of passion, rage and searing grief? Did we forget to bear the faults beauty displays, mirroring our inmost selves? Where is the tear of heartfelt pain, hard borne, within another's breast? Have we become the sterile judges of each other's ways? I have come to hate the hostile sneer of complacency. The sea will not forgive, but tides will flood the foolish land, and I will weep for all those overthrown. © Simon J Ashcroft, 2026

        The Best Poem Ever
        by Brian Doyle

        What if, says a small child to me this afternoon,
        We made a poem without using any words at all?
