Beverly Head
sunflower's bent head
seeds scatter with abandon
cold winds herald fall
John Melvin
See them our meanings.
Clouding, crystalline. Living
heat spoken so brief.
John Melvin
Old Winter's brooding
nonchalance, assuming our
subjection to night.
Sabine Remy
Inky endless dark
Specks of light peek through the cloak
The heavens' beacon
Rada Higgins
fish, afloat on ice,
amazed at having landed
on a vendor's cart
Mauri Orr Stone
Leaves lose their lushness
Loosening their lustrous hold
Prey to fall's fierce winds
Mauri Orr Stone
Trees each take their turn
To cover the ground's bareness
Its comforting quilt
Mauri Orr Stone
A lone killdeer's laugh
Shatters fall's orange-gray night sky
Letting cold seep in
Miguel Pedraza
She's the most vivid
blur I've had the chance to love.
I focus on her.
Christopher Kenneth Hanson
A tall oak tree sighs
The roots lap up rain water
Gentle leaves fall free.
Bill Melton
A bolt of lightning
Reminds me so much of life
A flash and then gone
Bill Melton
Broken wing hangs low
Dove watches the flock in flight
With longing and fear
David Edwards
puddle of Slushies
drying on Summer sidewalk
ten lethargic bees
David Edwards
finally the face
in the mirror is not mine
empty whiskey glass
Cynthia Sharp
breathe reverently
in the misty afternoon
autumn's inner light
Kellen Davis
stars pulling their bright
covers over the hopeless
dreamflowers in bloom
Gary Jones
A pillow of fog
gently pressed the hurried port
A town drops anchor
Eileen McCluskey
A line of pine trees
bends in another blizzard,
wide boughs low with snow.
Eileen McCluskey
Praying as I hike
my shadow caresses long
reeds on riverbank.
Sissy Buckles
Eros Hotel, where
your whistling became bird songs
outside our window.
Sissy Buckles
Cruising in ragtop,
over my shoulder unfurls
a gold satin sail.
Terra Traub
Red leaves blow across
Iron bars and plastic swings
Falling into cries
Nancy May
The empty bench sits
In memorandum of those
Happy summer days
Sandra Bounds
Wisteria blooms
like a purple waterfall
cascading beauty
John Hawkhead
stolen rowboat at midnight,
her fingers trailing
through reflected stars
Nancy May
A drop of sunshine
falls from the weeping sun down
to the dying earth
Daun Daemon
sheets stir in the breeze
mother laughing in linens
a moment alone
Daun Daemon
cat sleeping in sun
soft fur slicked with blood of prey
sweet feral dreaming
Elizabeth Einspanier
Like a splash of ink
Black against the parchment sky
The raven flies past.
Frank Larnerd
Teasing red-haired girl
Bite your goddamn lip once more
And there'll be trouble
Nells Wasilewski
mermaid swims the sea
where pirates hear her calling
from the depth of dreams
Jean Hagert Dow
swinging on long rope
high above the bales of straw
laughing, jump, drop, fun
T.F. Spencer
yeah, law gonna change
the bus routes, ebony strength
booms in that white court
Daniel Rhodes
stop and speak to me
moth fluttering in my home
we both are lonely
Monty Gilmer
Twelfth day of Christmas.
Among twelve drummers drumming
was one little boy.
David Galef
Concrete pillars gird
bridges over former fields:
rice sacks filled with sand.
Tyson West
on the cluttered desk
silent in eraser dust
lie the finest words
Bobby Aldridge
Frankly, primroses
simply lack the ambition
to lead the garden.
Sandra Bounds
Skillful fisherman
the patient white heron waits
just biding its time
