clouds peak
clouds peak

    
     P
age 2


      two silences
under one umbrella...
     tiny coffin


    park bench...
her hand resting on his
      white cane


    one stone
chased by many echoes
         into the abyss

Brett Brady



after the rain
garden boots
break the clouds


empty driver's seat...
raindrops
on a young woman's face


eclipse -
the crow
lands on the moon


lips get closer -
harvest moon
in his eyes
 

cold rain -
headlights
pierce through the night

Natalia L. Rudychev



a spider's web concealed in flowers' scent

Jens-Chr. Kjaer



grandma's funeral --
her week old grandson
cries the most

Charishma Ramchandani


sea mist
the other ferry there,
not there

stone faces
in the garden
a rival poet

stalled car –
ankle-deep in green
traffic lights

Lorin Ford



dappled ground
the new butterfly
lifting its wings

Colin Stewart Jones



samba...
my feet dance
under the table

Angelika Wienert



homecoming
the final mile scented
by seaweed
 

pardon me?
the map seller
asks for directions
 

leaves turn . . .
my daughter's face
in her grandmother's mirror
 

scent of autumn
cigarettes hidden
in her schoolbag

Susan Constable



moonlit night
where stars twinkle -
the lights of an airplane

Aruna Rao



what is it
about birdsong,
black cat?

 
wasp in a jar -
is there a point
to your anger?

Alan D. Taylor



dappled light...
two pigeons perched
on an old grave


in a brisk breeze
a white feather
clings to the path

Frank Williams



mountain stream
only her ankles
dip-in


dating my teeth
she finds fault
with a crooked one

Paul Cordeiro



heat wave --
a chat over the fence
at midnight

Angelika Wienert



fresh flowers
on a gravestone
father's day


early autumn
trees beside the creek
hold onto their leaves


dusk
the wattle bird veers toward
a moth


small garden
the thin woman touches
a daffodil


meditation group
I concentrate on holding
my fart

Myron Lysenko



after the wildfire
pink lady-slippers trek
up the black velvet path
