Enrique Roman
She has been replaced.
Like the splinter of winter.
She retains her edge.
Nickolas Urpi
mercy is reserved
for those who have kept their life -
sulking snow at dusk
Larry Zimbler
daily dues and don'ts
apple pear two care nowhere
variants of you
Greg Hill
far side of the bed,
the little dog's little breath
where you used to lie
Samuel Handler
Lady standing there
you with the big umbrella
watch out for my eye
Jack Priestnall
Church bells fall silent.
News reads: another attack.
Innocent suffer.
Robert Baldwin
Drooping sunflowers,
Struggle to lift once proud heads.
Tired by success.
Ismael Munoz Jr.
Weeping for the lost
Mourning for those who have passed
Life is so precious
Jeanne Nakjavani
The woodpecker drums
On the aging maple tree
A long lost message?
Brittany Hause
petrichor at dawn...
waving from the puddled earth
soft caecilians
Charles Rafferty
A cluttered basement -
the flood confirms we needed
none of what we had.
Mark Hitri
the clouds move one way
and the leaves in another
family picnic
Maria Galea
Life wanes, hope dwindles,
Imprisoned by exhaustion -
No chance of parole.
Brian George
Spring rains beat the ground
As flowers escape through cracks
In their asphalt tombs.
Tim Mueller
leaf bud and blossom
the pulse of living returns
thought word and action
Sam Georgevich
Orange and mellow,
Festive for the holiday,
A strong tradition.
Suzanne Cottrell
Top down, hair blowing
Cruising along country roads
Unexpected storm
Bill Melton
morning fog retreats
leaves behind sparkling jewels
on the cobweb strands
Nancy Botta
Brown curls wild and free
he roars under the hot sun,
king of the playground.
Alan C. Reese
Snow falls on Mt. Hope
In the mirror the old face
Looking back is me.
Jolene McDonald
Purple flowers bloom,
The moon watches them at night,
Moonlight keeps them safe.
Susan Gentry
wild honeysuckle
entice butterflies and bees
on pasture fences
Susan Gentry
female attraction
incessant male mating choir
cicada debut
Andrew Loughnane
city streets buzzing
packages picked up, then dropped
bike messenger life
Julie Dickson
Muggy summer air
Any thought of breeze is stalled
Trees dream of swaying
Beverly Green
Match stick; sand paper
Scrape together, spark, and flame
A kiss in summer
Jeff Farr
Sweat trickles freely
A slalom down hairy arms
Without sleeves exposed
Chasity Gaines
drowning in a flood
salty tears burn eyes rimmed red
torrential downpour
Nolo Segundo
The orchids dazzle,
beauty stealing air and sun--
some unknown painter
Shasta Hatter
unfamiliar sun
neighbors chat about roses
new warmth on our skin
Lee Clarke
Oh, Enlightened One
Teach me how to see the truth
In the Autumn Grass
Ron Scully
harmless heat lightning
seals the lakeside horizon
fishing reel recoils
Maria DePaul
Sudden gusts of wind
Portend a Summer downpour
Lightning splits an oak
Melissa Laussmann
thunderstorm brewing
rain tapping at my window
the tea kettle hums
Shirley Smothers
The dewy grass glints
Sun's radiant rosy touch
As dawn awakens
Sandra Barnett
rainstorm approaching
chipmunks forage in dark mulch
mourning doves take flight
Beverly Head
butterflies play tag
in and out the backyard bush
the yellow one wins
Kennard Balme
rejoice in her love
of moonbeams and church steeples
learning what you know
