David Stinson
Ripples by the dock
sunfish peek up for bread crumbs
Sun shines on water
David Stinson
In the chilled moonlight
The veranda sits vacant
Dew drips from the eaves
Ben Rasnic
Whenever you sing,
Robins mute their lilting speech?
Dawn weeps your absence.
Christopher Hivner
the river flows east
water carrying all life
dreams wash ashore cleansed
Avantika Vardhan
Autumn sun casts light
On the silence of stories
Grandmothers creases.
Chuck Von Nordheim
autumn squeezed between
summer burn and winter chill?
climate change extremes
Sherry Steiner
formally speaking
he stood up and found his voice
in his back pocket
Sherry Steiner
before you open
your dreamyland portals yes
hold the memory
Kael Smith
A pinhole of light
Through a forest canopy:
camera obscura.
Constance Chan
She's haunted waiting
rooms, hoping to hear her name,
ever since he left
Shalini Sunkuru
white mountain ranges
rays emanate from behind
painting in the sky
Aaron Poller
Light pink azalea
blowing up entire bed.
Cardinals retreat.
Maria Cohut
Light, spilling like wine
Between window and carpet:
Blackbird souls in flight.
Samantha Rose
Looking to the sky
In search of shapes and meanings -
In clouds, in our lives.
David Edwards
the west wind catches
a grasshopper's final leap
car wheels lack remorse
Debbi Antebi
ambulance sirens
piercing through the peaceful night
drown cicadas? songs
John Daleiden
in the morning chill
warming my hands on hot tea?
a porcelain cup
Sean Korsgaard
We stand together,
I and the mountain; in time,
Just the mountain stands.
Patricia Pella
beginning softly
sliding into symphony
this final season
Virginie Colline
devils and angels
the strange flight of two women
in the Great Canyon
Virginie Colline
duel in the sun
the jaws of the evil truck
on the car's bumper
Gregory Stenta
cold hands grip tightly
soft ice under dirty snow
crocuses peek through
Traci Howell
Wind whispers soft words
Stealing leaves off the branches
Autumnal signal
Tina McKeon
Bolts of lightning flash
Celebration in the sky
Playing hide and seek
Erwin Schalm
Snow is falling down,
the whole valley is covered
in a pure white gown.
Christopher Kenneth Hanson
Lightning cackles here
Blue sparks jump from heavy clouds
Rain soaks a white rose.
Erwin Schalm
All dogs don't like cats
and all cats sure don't like dogs.
But I don't like bats.
Andrew Stone
Whispers in the rain
descending towards black asphalt
masking endless night
Adhar Maheshwari
Last summer we slept
by the river side, my hand
almost touching yours.
David McClain
Autumn afternoon
the leaves racing to the ground
colorful beauty
David McClain
Dusk thirty and dark
kids returning home from play
tranquility lost
Andrew Scott
Swimming in cold fog
winter's enchantment in me
through this forest's life
Reuven Goldfarb
breathing mountain air,
two boys skip the angled slate
across smooth waters
Harry Pauff
His belt always guides
His grip tightens on the sky
In the dark, he shines
Bethany Rios
Two words, that is all
First word love, second word hate
Will you choose wisely?
Bethany Rios
The meaning You shared
The life that You spared for us
Unforgettable
Joseph Bensinger
Really rather sing
but then I guess I am, as
a bird on the wing
Joseph Bensinger
Sea Sprites in the surf
dance a frolicsome fun jig -
wavelets flying high
Joseph Bensinger
Demons wailing loud
while riding the dark blown cloud
...a storm is brewing
Stephanie Lynch
Mountains of white clouds
painted by shadow and sun
Grand, but light as air
John Tustin
Pacing the platform
Wondering how it will be
And then you appear
David Alvarez
The water tumbles
Leaving all plants a treasure
Growing, then blooming
Maria Cohut
It never snows here.
Dirt and dust are the city's
Permanent winter.
Donna Ryan
crimson in the dusk
waves wash over the seagrass
as a seagull cries
Donna Ryan
a chill winter wind
the broken shutter voicing
a strong objection
Donna Ryan
the sparrows flitting
over the cement block fence
graffiti artwork
Mauricio Gonzalez
Birds flutter their wings
Loose soft feathers paraglide...
The cat goes hungry
Mauricio Gonzalez
Sunlight and spring rain
Fertilize the ground below...
Green is their offspring
Lindy Ryan
The first sound, which heard
when the roar of silence breaks,
is the sound of joy
Lindy Ryan
They carry disease
floating on their bloated tongues,
these chatty women
