from the sky

a meteor shower of stars

no reception

the music

of the river

daybreak

the gurgle

of the coffeemaker

autumn leaves ...

this sorrow from

letting you go

Risë Daniels

sudden shower…

my mantra

shifts rhythm

Risë Daniels

cherry festival

her blush

betrays her

near the shelter where I lived grasshopper in my face

J. D. Nelson

logizomai I walk & walk but don’t advance

J. D. Nelson

first leaves of spring now we’re talkin’!


J. D. Nelson

out of the corner of my eye crow & crow again

J. D. Nelson

thoughts of dewdrop universes roofers laugh in the wind

a piece of red amber—

I like it

because she loves it

a child

shoehorned into a dream

the long walk home

Robert Witmer

a name

in a forgotten book

somewhere in the middle

pristine pines

the narrow path

having no end

brothers

pestering each other

in the back seat

now fallen angels

both asleep

By Mark Forrester

crocus blossoms

cupping the snow

in her small hands

Mark Forrester

green heron

as still

as the pond


Mark Forrester

mountain trail

at every turn

the moon’s tug

Mark Forrester

river glass . . .

the cool smoothness

of his lies


Mark Forrester

By Noah Berlatsky

Look! And you, look too!

In the waterfall, the hawk

sees its reflection.
