slow stream -
an ant on
a leaf boat
Amrutha Prabhu
garden flamingo
mom combs her hair
always by the window
Mircea Moldovan
parched prairie
the bison's heavy head
Pat Davis
coastal bluff
looking a pelican
in the eye
Helen Ogden
black butterfly—
all the possible words
in the inkwell
Pippa Phillips
torrid summer -
only lightning and thunder
not a drop of rain
Vasile Moldovan
under a shelter
goats and goatherd
calmly watch the rain
Yasir Farooq
thunderheads
a promise blown out of proportion
Cynthia Anderson
skies darken leaves cup to receive
sacrament of rain
JL Huffman
drought
the disobedience
of rain
rain, then sun
the scented breath
of the woods
