Arthur Russell
When people say they’re sorry,
I feel inadequate because I’m not,
and it was my mother.
Vyomi Malik
Blue ripples kiss
Sun admist sand
Oh bliss profound
Ingrid Bruck
willow gold hair whips
hellebore bells unfurl
under spring snow
Kristyl Gravina
Our love has blighted
Like a shadow overcast
a shining light ray
Lianne Kamp
your discarded dreams
woke me from my sleep last night
what a price we pay for love
Brandon Crupi
Unknown hour--
A smile behind a pacifier
replaces needed sleep.
Rhonda Johnson-Saunders
a barefoot step back to summer
the acrid smell of cigarette
smoke stales lemon drop memories
Maria DePaul
Sheet rain pounds petals
Streets become rivers of pink
Cherry blossoms fall
Ryn Holmes
A gathering of incandescent silver
meanders beneath the stars
numinous and illuminant.
Laurie Decker
Your words fill me up
as ink caresses my skin
I become your paper
BanWynn Oakshadow
In elegant silence
Inked brush revealing
Round stones in raked sand.
Joseph J. Kozma
much is going on
unplanned, undesired,
unforgiven
Meghan Joyce Tozer
An angry neighbor’s voice
scolding a dog, over and over
can ruin a sunset.
Diane Cockburn
This egg,
rolled from the thighs of a Phoenix,
burns blue fire.
Michael Flanagan
in the wee hours
Dogwood dons her bonnet
of green and white
Catherine Edmunds
Today I saw a weasel hurtling
through the undergrowth, needle-sharp
teeth and carnage—I thought of you.
Jennifer Smith
Tsunami struck us into silence
words, broken debris strewn
between us, recovery efforts begin
Anna Cates
Arctic grass seeds
a snow bunting samples
melting tundra
