Jim Christ
showing only thorns
through patches of silent snow
dreaming of a bloom
Chris Fulbirg
gardens of roses
where children play together
the sound of blooming
Bill Melton
Dragonfly alights
Reed slowly bends toward water
Frog watches below
C. Z. Heyward
mother's calling me
one says, please not too far out
more says the other
Barbara Tate
auras of angels
venus sews seeds of sunrise
old as yesterday
Nells Wasilewski
chill winds laboring
summer dies a sultry death
the birth of autumn
Sarah Blackman
backyard gathering
under afternoon shadows
dinner plate upturned
Ishan Bose
relaxed on a plane
from here, worries look so small
gold metropolis
Valentina Ranaldi-Adams
the summer has come
with those blazing shades of red
flavorful cherries
Kasha Nystrand
Gazing at the clouds
Children point out many shapes
Topics of their dreams
Pipzi Williams
july afternoon
spent looking round old churches
damp palms together
Ana Drobot
Moving against time
From spring into the cold snow
Landing, clicks, belts off
Melissa Patterson
The deer watches me
watch her through my camera
sun fading the moon
Opie Houston
sprouting bamboo sprig...
will you be sad when you leave
my little greenhouse?
Sarah Blackman
children roll downhill
prickles of freshly mown grass
summer sour sweetness
Traci Howell
Moisture in the air
Leaves changing colors early
Mists cloud the Basin
Rob Meador
Burdened with moisture,
smoke plods across the mountain
clutching blue sky's hand.
Sandra Barnett
two catbirds mewing,
pecking at magnolia fruit ?
taste of Darjeeling
Loreena Thiessen
cascading snowflakes
a flutter of notes ripple
across the keyboard
Jackie Maugh Robinson
whales grown huge on krill
are but specks in a vast sea‒
surging tsunami
Amada Burgard
still the white blossom
reflected in the tide pool
my hand on the bloom
Helen Loy
Sun rips through tissue
Paper clouds to place his hands
hotly on my arm.
Claudius Scholer
Thunder, storm, lightning
Sitting on that mountain ridge
With monsters and gods
Christopher David Hall
Green fields thrashed to mud.
Clouds heavy as iron plates.
May?no mayflies yet.
Robin Sprafka
Beneath winter sun
I sit chin in hand to wait
For life to begin
Ron Scully
waterthrush alone
splashing in the riverlight
mustard seed sunset
Jin Koh
Rocks click like crickets
air like shimmering water
desert summer heat
Sarah Blackman
leaning together
three linden trees drip fragrance
carried on the breeze
Dennis Lowe
Thunder in the hills
summer blows through the dry grass?
too much left undone
Ana Drobot
bright sun, burning earth
bench in the shade, wind blowing -
life philosophy
Kim Anguiano
Trees in silhouette
Stand against the fading light
Bats begin their feast
Hannah Frank
The shaking branch shows
A glimpse of the near future,
The first orange leaf falls.
Jennifer Shouse
Monk on bench, Sea-Tac
Did not see me next to him;
Immersed in i-phone.
Maryam Qureshi
The fruits of summer
Visible before my eyes...
Feeling glorified
Anne Currin
Garden of wishes-
Butterfly lands- flies away;
Flowers stay planted.
Jim Christ
forests of dead trees
dismembered, reassembled
numb, leafless in paint
James Roderick Burns
Seagull cuts into
a bar of obstinate sun,
casts his own shadow
Beth Mathison
Crocus peeking out
purple, snow lined beds dark brown
rich with Spring's promise
Fox Purtill
Forgotten dreams hide,
memories touched and lost loves
I cry as I wake
Kineret Yardena
Warm summer rains pass,
skies are clear again: why not
forgiveness so swift?
Christine S. O'Connor
deep silence echoes
as loudly as the racket
absent children made
Christine S. O'Connor
evening drifting in
over green waves as a mist
closes the curtain
Chris Gusek
a lone cardinal
unconcerned with the details
awaiting the spring
Leanne E Smith
September's summer:
white clematis cloaks fences,
bronze scuppernongs pop.
Tim Gardiner
brimstone butterflies
held in place by metal pins
fading behind glass
Alyson Rewick
Sudden September
South-bound geese fly unnoticed
Shivering at noon
Nancy Austin
monarch on milkweed
a still bee on astilbe
rumble of thunder
Grace Hughes Chappell
farm fields are ready
on the island ripe barley--
wind ruffles your hair
Grace Black
gemini towers
daedalus wings, twins? demise
papered ash of life
David Austin
summer's backward glance
reluctant to say adieu
one lonely white rose
