morning drizzle

raindrops waking

on a gray roof

John Grey



calm peaceful village

smoke from beyond the hilltops

where the fighting is

John Grey



railway station on a disused line

one old brown suitcase

unclaimed these thirty years

gray spring eve

leaving the park bench

for the pigeons

riptide

this poem goes out

to the seagulls

moon-faced

for every phase

another

making up

for lost time

plum blossoms

incessant rain letting the river be

reheated coffee the conversation gone cold

winter wonderland—

painted horses mid-gallop

under silent moonlight

Ron Nhim



Sunday picnic—

grandma knee deep in the lake,

chasing minnows

Ron Nhim



summer stillness—

an old man taps his cane

for amusement

Ron Nhim



an empty desk–

her pink coffee mug

still in the same spot

Ron Nhim



at the burial—

teardrops and raindrops mingle

under the spring sky

spring wind

old man's radio

jazz blown away

a single yellow leaf

floats onto an old blue bench

as it has for years
