pounding rain

splayed sunflowers

litter the pathway

the sky more blue

did I miss the start

of spring again?

the view

from the porch

neighborhood watch

silent bells trumpet out

the arrival of spring...

snowdrops

a deep breath 

my scarf welcomes 

spring wind

taking a nap 

with a full stomach, I hear 

my neighbor snoring

New Year’s long gone

fireworks still flickering

inside the house

sleeping in the cradle -

the linden tree whispers

in unknown language

iris field…

the wicker basket

gets heavy

summer heat

a cobra's hood

over the water tank

—Suraja Menon Roychowdhury

in a carpet of green red velvet spider lilies

pencil flavor nothing to write about

funeral procession ...

I step back

into my bed of daisies

and oh, how I mourn

the crushed flowers

—Suraja Menon Roychowdhury

the ticking clock

stipples the darkness

with its punctuation -

a comma, your back

another fight that we both lost

—Suraja Menon Roychowdhury

a barn owl calling the darkness home

—Sharon Martina

February thaw

who knew bare

could be so beautiful
