Jon Petruschke
The whole two hour walk
going over and over
our five second kiss.
Tina Marsh
fluttering leaves fall
creating blanket cover
now the earth can sleep
Tom Schmidt
Thankful November
guests eating prodigiously
leave after the meal
Chad Cooper
Huddled together
Distancing/Discovering
what we cannot stand
Judith Skillman
Pollen coats my house.
Days go slow in this springtime
of lone quarantine.
Wesley Williford
Creativity
Embers kindling within you
Light the world ablaze
Ray Spitzenberger
almost thirty years
old shepherd cared for his flock
last time to lock church
Edward Ahern
Staring at myself
In enforced isolation
I'm not who I want
Darren Black
ribbon of silver
sky tangles high-rise dreams whirl
balloon hearts take flight
Carl Brennan
Chanting endlessly
"Corruption comes from outside"
Black Mass for shut-ins
Daniel Tardona
cold mists carry scent
satisfied in scarlet snow
memories of spring
Frederick Charles Melancon
dandelion puffs
the fragments of white floating
from denuded plants
Christa Planko
A lone warbler sings --
Freedom set to melody.
Through walls, I listen.
Suzy Kenway
Floating butterfly
Fresh feathery wings hold her
Poised in the blue sky
Lorraine Rose
Sequins meet black tie
stained with pink cotton candy
funky summer love
Clifford Rames
how the wide river
always submits to the sea
halo of the moon
Stephen S. Power
the groundskeeper roots
for the stray leaf skittering
from first to second
Carrie Ann Thunell
rusted yellow truck
in a dandelion field
how bright the noon sun
Mukund Gnanadesikan
By the banyan trunk
Shelter from the thunderstorm
Lightning still rages
Wesley Sims
Each day-night cycle
the earth turns itself around,
hokey pokey slave.
Sandra Anfang
lonely, lonely night
the old cat curls in my lap
claims me for her own
Jenny Robb
Diving from the edge
between board and pool, soaring,
somersaulting free.
Arona Fay Roshal
Deer pause to listen -
Lullaby of wind whispers
Woodpecker applauds
Bill Melton
jagged lightning streaks
scribble across darkened sky
low thunder mutters
Catherine Minnehan
the herring swoops low,
slicing the water-mirror -
fracturing sunset
Althea Rowe Watson
blue and green marbles
rolling through the empty house
looking for summer
PJ Amendolia
Hibiscus flowers
Wither in the new darkness
Waiting for summer
JESSICA HOARD
late afternoon sun
through the used bookstore window
smell of old paper
Annelise Knoot
What cryptid beats here
Against my glass made of dust
A mummy or moth
Gail Ghai
Warm-stemmed mint wind bends
Soft purple bursts of crocus
White rain spits silver
Sharon O'Bryan
Fall winds gust up skirts
Blowing high bright colored leaves
Exposing bare limbs.
