Cynthia Sharp
slender curve of moon
in the cool descending night
yin and yang at rest
Cynthia Sharp
eyelids gently close
butterflies visit in dreams
nursing two are one
Paul Hellweg
your blood fairy and
gentle dragon, Tibetan
bowls sing lilting praise
David Edwards
carefully reading
a book window-side midnight
snow's ambient light
Bill Melton
As evening light fades
Rabbit nibbles on clover
An owl's talons twitch
Anna Hughes
Tall trees are bent low,
Their branches reaching for earth.
Heaven is too far.
Anna Hughes
Red, yellow and green
Lollipop trees drop their leaves:
Only sticks remain.
Joan Gove
Rays of your essence
Stream through dark shadows... falling
On my face and soul
Daun Daemon
soft merino wool
magenta and vermillion
autumn's overcoat
Preeti S.
a child hides behind
these tender folds of wrinkles
clothed in ageless soul
Stephanie Ferguson
An audacious heart -
alight with the bloom of hope,
she comes as the spring
Nells Wasilewski
lovers by the fire
burned marshmallows forgotten--
consumed by the flames
Nancy May
in the break of dawn
a call from the cockerel
parades a new day
David DiSarro
Tijeras statues
A sidewalk corrugation
Bronzed faces, sullen
Mahima Giri
azure horizon
reflects in ocean mirror
strolling silhouettes
William Keenan
On still winter nights
the hunter stirs in slumber
to fawn's quiet sobs
Zach Johanneck
Impaired cries for help
Innocence preys on the weak
Wandering lost soul
Sara Bickley
Wildflowers tattooed
on Jenny's arm: coneflowers
like cigarette burns.
Bobby Fugitt
she smiles at me from
the obituary page
a lifetime ago
Dennis Lowe
Perusing fine words
Used pages like winter skies
Then, her lost blonde strand
Rebecca Lanning
Old oaks dwarf the house
where seasons change from shade to
acorns, leaves, despair
Melissa Blacketer
Ice painted trees crack
Power lines snap; the blackout ?
opens to starlight.
Melissa Blacketer
A flashbulb sky roars
Iced rain scratches at paned glass
Soft steam over tea
Brian Gillikin
Sun-like, his body
rises on top of hers; she
moon-like, gives him way.
Genevieve Fitzgerald
tiny explosive
green bursts rise from the grasses
fireflies calling
Genevieve Fitzgerald
one god for jonquils
jerrymandered borders and
coexisting truths
Joseph Casey
tick and tack of sleet
upon breadth of dying blades -
duck paddles through reeds
Colin Campbell
dreaming butterflies
in ancient red mansions where
leaves now flutter by
Colin Campbell
borneo monsoon
in evergreen memories
when thunder returns
Zachary Malone
winter snow falling
two crows then three like black snow
hopping on a tree
Frank Geurrandeno
I am white canvas
and you are electric blue
the spark of my all.
Christopher Morgan
when you fall asleep
watching your ceiling tear, split,
look for my spotlight
Anna Yin
along the railway
wherever eyes encounter
forget-me-nots blue
Joan McNerney
What does this cat think
strumming his tail with such ease
to the fugues of Bach?
Neil Ellman
yesterday's children
silent ghosts of old New York
walk cobblestone streets
Neil Ellman
at The Dakota
Rosemary's Baby was born
Lennon lived and died
Ross McCooey
Imprints in cold grass:
shadows of idle bodies
once lost in the sun
Neil Ellman
graffiti artists
paintings hung on storefront walls
Chelsea galleries
Ross McCooey
Fluid cells of sky
bring concrete vistas to life
in speckled portraits
Deborah Guzzi
alone the swan drifts
in the shadow of the waves ?
the oar drips water
Christopher Kenneth Hanson
Grass blades wilt here now
Cold shade in a winter haze
Moon peeks through bramble.
Daun Daemon
November iris
springtime blue in autumn cool
petals quivering
Arthur C. Ford,Sr.
Waves bring messages,
Mankind waits along the beach,
Those of peace still drown.
Sarah Holland
Kintsugi, I am
Broken no longer, my cracks
Healed and sealed with gold
Wyman Rousseau
turning seventy -
nevertheless - I planted
a jacaranda
Clarise Samuels
the garden roses
so still and calm at twilight;
no thought for the frost
Joann Grisetti
touching a crocus
the merest hint of new warmth
my breath in the air
Joann Grisetti
from behind the masks
their intense faces watching
the kabuki stage
Hannah Frank
Slow shallow waters
splash a small shovel to shore,
sandy castles gone.
Patricia Williams
summer wanderer
enticed by sticky sweetness ?
uninvited guest
