Orange sun

outside the nursing home

paramedic sirens

the long drive home ...

just Patsy Cline

and me

crescent moon

a field of purple cauliflower

waiting for harvest

autumn park bench

my lonely sigh disappears

into wind

dark skies

leaves drop to the bench

where I read

still wishing—

the shiny things

in a dried up well

A crow

Covers the moon

For a moment

earth shoes when we were one

the last rung on the ladder floodwaters

embroidered birds

on her pillow

flying away

the children

bury their dolls

autumn leaves

election night

even the Halloween ghosts

look scared

By Biswajit Mishra

night by night

how I age

crescent moon

Biswajit Mishra

my enigma

when I have nothing

to do

I have no time

for anything

By Vandana Parashar

living in the moment

a cloud becomes

rain

Vandana Parashar

wind through a crack

the flowers

arrange themselves

Vandana Parashar

night bus

every head rolled

to side

Vandana Parashar

the world without a word winter woods

ferry crossing

the river water churns

underneath us

I hold tight to the rail

and your unspoken words

Nalini Shetty

saffron robes

flutter in the breeze

Ganges twilight

 behind you a silhouette

 I can’t reach
