Poem of the day 

Roller Coaster Disaster

By Jacquline Munro

Have you ever been

On a roller coaster

In your dream

When the ride starts

The world around you glistens

Refreshing and clean

Fun and happiness

Engulfs your emotional esteem

But wait the ride

Has not started

The world

Has suddenly become darker

A crumbling emotional reality

Hits you harder

No stopping this roller coaster master

No stopping the next emotional

Or disappointing disasters

A Catastrophe outrageous moment encounters you

Stampedes demolishing humanity

Like a selective transformer

Picking out those

Who will be incriminated

By the roller coaster master

Then the sharp turn

Slows down the ride a glimmer of light

Comes into sight

For a short while

Before a shadow

Of colluding confusion

Hits the roller coaster ride

Near the end

I will count to ten

And hope this

Roller coaster nightmares ends
