“The ballad of the ‘Boys in blue and silver” by Karl Boyd
The Dallas Cowboys are in shock; the score stands five to three.
With only thirty seconds on the clock, what will the outcome be?
Although both teams have fought like hungry jackals, still, there are those that gripe and moan.

Poetry Corner - the mask
Submitted by Jim Greenwald on February 7, 2012 - 11:49the mask
I forage deep in the blackness of my consciousness
feeling as if, I am floating
the caress of the wind against my skin
touching my mask, as if, it needed to see me
my heart yearning for one to care, to understand
am I the only one who feels this pain?
do I alone cry?
my mask protects my heart
seasons change so quickly
will wonders await me every day
will my heart be reborn?
or will my mask remain forever in place?
does anyone hear me?
I forage deep in the blackness of my consciousness
feeling as if, I am floating
the caress of the wind against my skin
touching my mask, as if, it needed to see me
my heart yearning for one to care, to understand
am I the only one who feels this pain?
do I alone cry?
my mask protects my heart
seasons change so quickly
will wonders await me every day
will my heart be reborn?
or will my mask remain forever in place?
does anyone hear me?
