The Change

written by: Raphfael Wormge

As the words stop
So does the pain
And all that’s left
Is anger and hate

I must morph
Grow or change
Like the locust does
In late summer

My skin splits though
The monster takes over
All I can do
Is idly standby

As I watch
Control is lost
The monster’s released
Like a new locust
Being set free

Chaos ensues
Fire set loose
Hell breaks open

After the long day
Everything’s lost
Nothing to do
But fight
My thoughts

Doug Stanfield (Hemmingplay)

“Hemmingplay,” is the pen name of Doug Stanfield, who grew up on a family farm in western Ohio, went with his parents for two years in Karachi, Pakistan, in high school and had lived, until recently, in Bellefonte, PA with his late wife, Wilda and their two sons, Ben and John. Doug was a writer, editor and director of internet communications at Penn State for 26 years. He has had a few disreputable occupations, including newspaper reporter and editor, and public relations flak, but is trying to make amends for his sins by writing poetry and fiction. When his sons were safely off making their own mistakes, he turned on the computer one day, stared at the screen, and began to learn the craft anew at age 67. Doug has published three books: "Mermaid Sisters: First Dive", a children's book; "I Came From A Place of Fireflies" and, "Snowflakes & Ashes: Meditations on the Temporary”.
