Christopher Hivner
sun beaming brightly
shines through my office window
I ride the beam home
Christopher Hivner
my work is finished
latter part of day remains
the sun holds me close
Joseph Roberts
Chalked on the sidewalk
hopscotch boxes just waiting
for the child in me
Joseph Roberts
Old mining cabin
succumbing to time's passage
with its memories
Joseph Roberts
Desert darkness falls
wrapped up in my sleeping bag
lost among the stars
Ryan Danielson
The robin, hopping,
peers over its grey wing as
the spring sun departs.
Kathryn Davis
Tiny green bugs crawl
on me they seem to gather
Quickly - brush them off
Traci Howell
Made for Allegiance
Lust and Adoration for
The One in my Heart
Ines Franco Fatzinger
Your eyes haunt my dreams
Your kiss is all I wish for
Your love fills my heart
Ines Franco Fatzinger
Pretending you?re here
Praying you are safe and sound
Please return to me
Gordon Gearhart
Plain white office walls
leave much to be desired.
My eyes paint pictures.
Gordon Gearhart
Looming black storm clouds
rattle the small quiet town-
bullies in the sky
Traci Howell
Bright lights in the sky
Twinkle against the asphalt-
Sharing the summer
Traci Howell
Roses on the wall
Blossoming from the buds, they
Stretch out to the sun
Melissa Patterson
She holds her mother's
hand, strokes it, and wishes for
how she use to be.
Danny Spina
The Sun gives the sign
The Moon's everlasting chill
All is set in place.
Ekartha Sharma
Silent in the night
leave no footprints in the snow
stealthily hunting
Ekartha Sharma
Sleeping through the day
swoops out of the snowy night
by watch of the moon
Aine MacAodha
constant summer rain
tap tap tap on laurel leaf ?
my constant critic
Craig Steele
sagging silken web
bridges the gap between trees--
breeze rocks my hammock
Shirley Smothers
The criticisms
Crash down on me like thunder
Must endure the storms
David Richardson
Across a calm lake
Towing a wedge of ripples
One green-headed duck.
A.J. Huffman
Sandcastle learning.
Vision can be constructed,
but nature consumes.
A.J. Huffman
Fahrenheit rises.
Waveless sand glistens, negates
trespass of bare feet.
Colin Campbell
south china sea hears
songs of everlasting peace
between hurricanes
Colin Campbell
palm fronds now trembling
do they welcome the west wind
or smell winter snow
Christopher Kenneth Hanson
Bright white moon still climbs
Green fishing boats line the shore
Blue waves crash nearby.
Susan Brown
Hooking silver spin
Barnacles flowering rose
Tall grass school splashing
Trey Billings
Sweat drops down my sides
With Basho in hand I drift
Atop sun-filled streams
Dan Campbell
opening the door
little one's laughter I hear-
a father's reward
Trey Billings
The steep mountain road
Bears the weight this dogged day
That clings to my crawl
Bill Melton
Touch a touch-me-not
And see how it gets its name
Nature does not lie
Bill Melton
Listen to the sigh
Of wind among the treetops
What has it just lost
David Edwards
Bugs scurry across
sidewalks, changing direction
my absent footsteps
John Mueter
Antique Chinese bowl -
Kangxi - three hundred years old.
Now it holds loose change.
John Mueter
Imari teapot -
Shattered! ten pieces, well-glued.
How fragile the world.
Reuven Goldfarb
On cold curbs and walls,
the alley cats are crouching,
hunched up in their furs.
Christopher Kenneth Hanson
Crisp rain water falls
Into a brown wood bucket
Tea leaves soak inside.
Doug Elson
Wild dandelion
beneath snowy winter field
do you dream of spring?
Doug Elson
Heat lightning drifts by,
riding on the gentle winds,
to meet the full moon.
Joe Donnelly
Gourmet gas stations
Take all kinds of customers
To make it unique
Joe Donnelly
They are on all night
And sleep throughout the day time
Waiting for people
Alexander Remer
Electron cloud grape
skins ever ripe, bursting in
to reality.
Daniel Elliott
Genetic code runs
Spring blue jay feels free to fly
What else could she do?
Daniel Elliott
post card from loved one
faint moon in afternoon sky
heart warms, mind lingers
Tyson West
sharp rocked river bank
blackberry thorns scratch the sky
ducklings sculpt smooth glass
Shirley Smothers
Hollow victory
Got to the top of my field
Lost my family
Mauri Orr Stone
wasps and hummingbirds
spar in contentious battle
for sugar water
Mauri Orr Stone
bright colors proclaim
it's time to harvest the fruit
precious pinks and reds
Mauri Orr Stone
relentless blue sky
arid blows in the west wind
another drought day
