Matt Margo
I will fall more ill
than the sickest children. You
are like a virus.
Matt Margo
At midnight, I think
about the happiness we?ll
share only in thoughts.
Virginie Colline
popsicle kisses
the sweet sixteen is laughing
on the Ferris wheel
Sandra Bounds
Rainy Winter day
perfect time to stay inside
and write poetry
Sandra Bounds
Golden hickory
aglow in Autumn's warm sun
Nature's menorah
Sandra Bounds
Soft boas of clouds
feather and drape a blue sky
not a hint of rain
Jean Hagert Dow
skipping in light rain
hopping over mud puddles
falling face down, ugh
Nancy May
A cold windy breeze
Follows the hungry birds trail -
Seeds patiently wait
Nancy May
A steaming pot boils
A brown egg in hot water -
Soldiers dip in yolk
David Edwards
sand does not resist
either footstep, wind, or tide
a beach smooth... long... wide
Patricia Pella
at the old sea wall
waves sweep pebbles over rocks-
the sounds of applause
Michael Bobb
Embarrassed, diving
into her pillow, she feared
revealing herself.
Thomas Rycroft
th? old nature trail-
a single wellington boot
stands in frozen mud
Thomas Rycroft
retirement home-
the tree shakes free its last leaves
crunching underfoot
Mahima Giri
invading sunshine
through the blinds of my window
culminates the dream
Mahima Giri
reflection of moon
spills on the waters at night
tides of love heighten
Kanwar Dinesh Singh
The fine morning glade
Sieving across the green groves
A glittering jade
Kanwar Dinesh Singh
The sun and the rain
Rejoice freely, candidly
The heavenly twain!
Ines Franco Fatzinger
One wrong fantasy
After no lofty places
Embraced down spiral
Ines Franco Fatzinger
The trees of my youth
Branches swaying in the breeze
Pecans fell that day
Green Greenz
i don't see faces
when i see people most days.
i just see targets.
Jim Bainbridge
honeymoon photos?
our grandchildren will see us
wearing antique clothes
Doug Robbins
Little boy grows up.
Little girl loves another.
Boy loves the bottle.
Luke Roe
Listening to jazz
While hiking through the damp woods,
Wet as a virgin
Craig Steele
I yank silver hairs
peeking through my dark gray mane...
new spring in my step
Craig Steele
Almanac in hand
farmer glares across his field --
distant clouds drop rain
Craig Steele
early spring morning
we shiver inside our coats --
crocus bulbs bursting
Mary Delle LeBeau
black crow on white snow
four toed print thatches pathway
Russian winter dream
Mary Delle LeBeau
red leaf on black earth
gilded maple etches mind
hills roll in color
Mahima Giri
tiny drops of time
drip into ripples of age
memories accrue
Soniya Tejwani
She embraces death
With a kiss she tries to leave
Her family dead
Luke Roe
What does the raven
perched on the parking meter
really mean to say?
Green Greenz
i wouldn't be so
lonely if i could sleep with
a rifle at night.
Christopher Kenneth Hanson
Rays of crisp blue light
Dancing upon the sea floor
Rainbow fish drift by.
Andrew Scott
Always rushing by
too busy for me and them
no talk anymore
Andrew Scott
Always climbing up
to limitless potential
in the endless sky
Andrew Scott
Am dreaming of her
snuggled up close with her now
so peaceful, such love
Bill Melton
sometimes thoughts spring up
demanding not to be heard
but to be written
Jonathan Patterson
red scarf left behind
on cold steel of metro rails
heel print in fresh snow
Jonathan Patterson
black terns fly away
weighing down unborn dreams like
stones on balloon strings
John McCarthy
no one found me here
sleeping in rain without you
this is called melting
John McCarthy
rain falls on petals
flowers bend and shake in dirt
garden symphony
Brandon Campbell
In twinkling starscape,
I search for God. I find Him
shattered in the stars.
Brandon Campbell
In a river red,
fish with prosthetic tail-fins
can still swim upstream.
Brooke Chastain
Fast food restaurant:
You are evil; I hate you?
so affordable.
Ashley Gifford
Instrument in hand
Black splurges on the paper
Leaving my mind blank
Ashley Gifford
In my current life
Sleep is just a memory
Words crawl through my mind
Andrew Ruzkowski
You are in the South.
I am shaking in the North.
Cut trees wait with me.
Andrew Ruzkowski
Four lungs, city night-
a black fruit sliced. Enveloped
breath, we are faceless.
A.J. Huffman
The colors fall. Dark.
Soft. They whisper: Remember.
But what is the point?
