Live by Kassie Blair Life is too short To wake up with regret Love the people who treat you right Forget the ones who don’t Believe that everything happens for a reason If you get a chance, take it If it changes your life, let it Nobody said it would be easy They just promise it will be WORTH IT! Kassie Blair is a Work Education student at VU. The past by Daniel Thomson Part 1 The past hides many things, some consided to be merely legend and myth. But once the past catches up to the present everything changes. An ancient mystery has been solved and sparks confidence to solve more ancient mysteries. But, one mystery accidentally awakens an ancient evil that has laid dormant for 1000s of years, and has come forth to wreak havoc across the world. Only two teenagers can stop it, for they are the descendents of the people who locked it away centuries ago. They now have to defeat it because they can’t lock it away anymore. To be continued… Daniel Thomson is a Work Education student at VU. Page 18
Lionheart Summer by Kevin Densley ( Adelaide , 1980) The vines twisted around the pergola in my grandmother’s backyard were gnarled and old; the afternoon heat unbearable. But when evening came the sea breeze wafted through and we’d sit outside drinking beer or wine until the darkness fell. Inside the bluestone house, the temperature never rose; afternoons I’d fold into a comfy chair, frosty Southwark Bitter in hand, and watch Test Cricket on TV. Or else I’d lounge in the parlour, on the carpet, near the piano, leafing through sheet music like ‘Ramona’, a South Sea maiden on its sepia title page. On the wall was a hand-tinted photo of my step-grandfather in soldier garb, blue-eyed and full of vigour, taken before New Guinea . Now he’d be coughing in the next room, battling emphysema and losing. That summer at my grandmother’s, I’d bought Kate Bush’s Lionheart LP. Flame-haired English beauty Kate posed on the cover in a lionsuit, a pantomime lion head nearby. A song on her record was the summer’s refrain: ‘Oh England , my lionheart, I’m in your garden fading fast in your arms …’ Kevin Densley lives near Geelong, <strong>Victoria</strong>. His poetry has appeared in various Australian publications, including Quadrant, Adelaide Review, Space, Verandah and New England Review, and numerous UK magazines, including Other Poetry, The Journal, Monkey Kettle and Cadenza. He also writes plays (with Steve Taylor). These have been performed Australia-wide and in the US. Densley and Taylor have co-authored twelve books and one CD-Rom, mainly play collections for young people. Densley’s latest book is a poetry collection, Vigorous Vernacular, published by Picaro Press in 2008. Page 19
