evening falls before

summer
rain –
in my garden the blue hydrangea
even bluer
Elena
Zouain
summer solstice –
I listen to the
whispers
of scented shadows
Elena Zouain
white
roses –
the moon keeps
the secret
Elena Zouain
a summer ginkgo walk –
Isha, Basho, and Issa
in
every verse I write
Lakshman Bulusu
Robin chirping
brought to life in my mind
your touch –
one more kiss
and
I would join you.

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

pasture
gate latched
on either side
no fence

after
the rain
all the happy grass
waving in the wind

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

incoming…
baby formula airdropped
over
a war zone

night fog
across the Sound
a
horn solo

from adjoining terraces
the sounds of summer

my sweet baby girls –
they are no longer babies
and
not always sweet
Todd Matson
his philanthropy –
the gifts he kept on giving
for
his vanity
Todd Matson
unconditional –
the love of a little dog
is
God spelled backward
Todd Matson
rush hour
the manoeuvrability
of
an ambulance

and the grey moustache
a

her favourite dress
for
the first time

of meeting you again

through

insomnia
yesterday’s rain
still
falling
Alvin B. Cruz
rain
after a long drought mother’s remission
Alvin B. Cruz
taking a nap
with eyes closed
seeing
everything
Stephen Jarrell Williams
an old man
gazing up to heaven
wondering

children singing
on the mountaintops
pleading
with us

winds pick up at sunset
sign of a coming front
wet
whispers of rain

Exodus of toads,
Crossing my path,
I
part my feet

Leave

deserted temple
a stone Buddha drowns
in
the moonlight
David He
dim moonlight...
the rain ripples
in
a beggar's bowl
David He
their marriage license
torn into strips and placed outside
for
bird nests
