Yasmin Khan
sakura trees bloom
on banks of kanda river~~
fragrant blossoms fall
Nancy May
after the sentence
an apple tree is planted
in the spot you died
Nancy May
ripples on the sand
a holiday ebbs away
into the ocean
Jack Jordan
man in a black hat
he's angry; his life bores him
sleet begins to fall
Jack Jordan
sweet and persistent
river of skin across bone
wrestling in the night
Daun Daemon
a doe nudges fawns
into our city garden ?
tender summer greens
John Han
departing summer
maple-colored moon outshines
the cicada's song
Daniel Thompson
Mockingbird Catches
Complimentary Echoes
Woven into Song
Alexander Remer
Youth, you think is flesh
concealing skulls, eye sockets
but your soul stays young
Mauri Orr Stone
hurricanes blow in
quickly quenching searing droughts
destroying late yields
Mauri Orr Stone
marauding raccoons
raiders of my ripe peach tree
left me not a one
Brendan Leipelt
winter of my life
dreaded, anticipated
all is known someday
Bill Melton
Angry words are like
A drop of ink in water
Cannot be undone
Antoinette McCormick
weathered leather boot
still shadows, empty doorway
what are you guarding?
Antoinette McCormick
dusty piano
an orchestra of grapevines
scaling silences
Justin Witt
Is it a question
only, and simply enough,
of honoring life?
Damon Marbut
I have a gold heart
pumping blood rivers on which
no doldrums can float
Lisa G
Chaotic dark sky
Suddenly grows calm and still:
The eye of the storm
Doug Elson
thick forests whisper
songs of love to a wild moon
murmured with the wind
Doug Elson
Black skies cry to me
I hear cold rain trickle down
wet night harmony
David Kavanaugh
feathers of ice fog
sever plains of blue into
sky geometry
Stephen Barry
Mother finds his name
softly caress engraved stone
tucks him in at night.
Stephen Barry
Large black no sugar
Like my women 'strong, hot, dark
And slightly bitter
Craig Steele
hot fast-food breakfast
with others eating alone?
cold morning drizzle
Grant Philbin
Ambidextrous
Umbilical narrative
Good bye moody blues
Justin Witt
Tall pines stand above
a fire burning at midnight,
two old friends, laughing
Christopher Kenneth Hanson
Snow tip mountains breathe
Brown bears wander paths for food
Shadows light a pond.
David Edwards
never so serene
the surface of a small pond
six ducks still in flight
David Edwards
a sunset shower
telling my neighbor too late
rainbows never last
David Edwards
I, looking westward
upon each successive dusk...
one more masterpiece
Joann Grisetti
a dog is barking
from the next backyard over
the blank windows stare
Tiffany Harmon
Specks of morning dew
a pink blossom opening
spring's awakening
Tiffany Harmon
Sunset at the beach
waves against the rocky shore
sand between the cracks
Tiffany Harmon
Wind rustles the leaves
warning of the coming storm
like a restless ghost
Herb Guggenheim
Hours of packing books.
Nearby, an open dumpster
glistens in the rain.
James Pollard
early morning sun
outline of a little boy
demanding some food
Joshua Medsker
My breath comes slowly.
The breeze's smell reminds me
of roses. It's time.
Mahima Giri
galloping horses
encircle without dust cloud
the carousel ride
Sharla Anderson
like the elephant
autumn of life maps my flesh
with wisdom not years
Sharla Anderson
stones tumbling as tears
temple marred by modern strife
on ground once sacred
Grady Manus
owl silent as sin
snatches up unfulfilled dreams
? i ponder the dark
Grady Manus
with raptor talons
we grasp at elusive dreams
moon smiles knowingly
Ryan Danielson
I hear my father's
sneeze over the salt-thick wind,
but he is not here.
