Randy Boone
spawning salmon leap
glisten silver in mid-air
slice downwind, upstream
Chen-ou Liu
a gravesite at dusk...
he speaks to the stone angel
in his mother tongue
Chen-ou Liu
The Spring of My Life
holds up my basement window
reciting Issa
Chen-ou Liu
winter moon in shards
a smell of wine lingering
on the attic floor
Beverly Head
early afternoon
swirling butterfly deluge
no umbrella here
Beverly Head
perhaps we will kiss
again when the summer rains
nourish our passion
Debbi Antebi
bundled love letters
from two long summers ago
pushed back on a shelf
Debbi Antebi
rainy afternoon
walking behind the coffin
each step miles long
Douglas Polk
open arms aching,
hugging her not possible,
sadness fills my heart.
Douglas Polk
I still hear her voice,
but only within my mind ,
in my soul silence.
Douglas Polk
seizures day to day,
the fear and sorrow endless,
the heart pleads for rest,
Marguerite Mooradian
hot thick air inside
napping on the couch, shirts match
the upholstery
Marguerite Mooradian
forgot sleep again
words come sluggish in this fog
Sis, will you listen?
Patricia Pella
one tiny pilgrim
answering an ancient call
hummingbird arrives
Colin Campbell
new leaves crowd old trees
dance together in the sun
soon to fall to earth
Stephen Gilchrist
raindrops fall on silk
petals, green stalks grow turgid;
for spring, they struggle.
Paco Jones
Cherry tree blossoms
As death comes around again
She waves gracefully
Helen Dano
Summer oppressed spring
forced her cherry blossoms down
staining ground deep pink
Patricia Pella
in a dark season
the soft sounds of angel wings
wrapping the wounded
Ali Znaidi
autumnal winds blow
trees harmoniously sway
choreography
Ali Znaidi
a flock of pigeons
rain and white feathers mingle
peace waters the world
Maria Rivera
Sun is full of light
but it can become so dark
eclipsing my life
Maria Rivera
No sleep, one big thought
so worried time has gone by
where will I end up
Helen Dano
Over-grown jasmine
obstructs walkway. He has passed.
Dried petals scattered.
Kristina Popiel
a white sun sets in
the ruined Colosseum,
in buds pink in snow
Kristina Popiel
the cat is stretching,
yawning like a day lily,
reaching out with claws
Sandra Bounds
Spring's green vibrato
Earth rises from Winter's tomb
symphony of hope
J. Gibbs
high flying airplane
feet grounded miles away
spring brings thoughts of change
J. Gibbs
past dug up turns to
present headache turmoil
best to learn from trees
Patricia Pella
baby sandpiper
skittering through ebbing tide -
mother's wings tremble
