bucket list
overflowing
with
pipe dreams
Lisa C Reynolds
a small box of things
he left behind
I hold on
a little while longer
to
what was lost
Alvin B. Cruz
moonless night always assuming
the worst
John Pappas
*
harvest moon
what to do
with
the time we get
John Pappas

drifting clouds
an empty nest fills
with
moonlight

wedding
bouquet...
children tickle each other
with pampas
grass
Hassane Zemmouri
all bundled up
walking atop snowbanks
headed
for school
Richard Bailly
*
sunflowers
gathered in light seeking
fields
of joy
Richard Bailly
lone
chrysanthemum
floating in the winter fog
your red nose so
bright
Curt Linderman
*
hedge trimmed
he rests upon
his
laurels
Curt Linderman
hot pants
the frayed borders
of
the past
Mark Gilbert
*
wondering
what has gone wrong robinsong

Along aisles of tales,
she was raised by the women:
real
and fictional
Regina Florene Tan
intoxicating
giddy
fragrance
of mock orange
brings thoughts of springtime
to
my still cold heart
Pat Geyer
morning stars…
kicking
salt across
an icy path
Tony Williams
*
stiff with cold
the tarpaulins crackle
in their hands
Tony
Williams
*
Cassiopeia
the staggered flight
of night geese
Tony Williams
*
depth
of winter
needing both hands
to pull a leek
Tony
Williams
*
under
a leaden sky
winter reeds
the
colour of brass
Tony Williams
