a summer ginkgo walk –

Isha, Basho, and Issa

in every verse I write

Robin chirping

brought to life in my mind

your touch –

one more kiss

and I would join you.

low tide

life comes out of the sea

killer heat

at the watering hole

a pack of wolves

tangoing as one    forgotten step

Rita Melissano

 

 

she's still here

for some strange reason

clocks run backwards                                           

the storm after the quiet                        

a phoenix's return to ashes   

Rita Melissano

countless years

when our life was a rainbow

in the night

tête-à-tête, cheek to cheek,

holding a thousand candles      

Rita Melissano

listening

to the voice within

the mirror...

its whispers a breath

left in the fog

Rita Melissano

 

 

what is left                          

of the Japanese garden                     

the lantern

a lighthouse sitting on a bluff                         

above the blue, smooth pebbles


Rita Melissano

pasture gate latched

on either side

no fence

after the rain

all the happy grass

waving in the wind

Scott F. Parker

turtles on the shore

keeping busy

maintaining stillness

my heart is beach glass

 translucent, delicate, mauve

 softened by the sand

pajamas…

another superhero dream

takes flight

Lorraine A Padden

trouting

the arc of a midsummer

rainbow

Lorraine A Padden

asking her grandmother about love fresh daisies

Lorraine A Padden

incoming…

baby formula airdropped

over a war zone

night fog

across the Sound

a horn solo

from adjoining terraces

the sounds of summer

sunscreen mist

night walk

two dogs

square off
