tranquil lake

a playful wind stirs

ripples in the mind

early autumn

caught in a moment

my double shadow

Mohua Maulik

our watches

side by side on the dresser—

the widening gap

Mohua Maulik



trailing a finger

over the shimmering

still waters

unaware of the storms

that lurk below your façade

Mohua Maulik



planting

peace lilies in beds

overrun

with the same old

unresolved grudges

Mohua Maulik

Chen-ou Liu

frog pond

the slow drifting

of my haiku-boat

Chen-ou Liu



she's gone ...

alone, I sleep

with the dark

Chen-ou Liu



the door

of a foreclosed house

blown open

by a winter gust ...

inside and out this emptiness

Chen-ou Liu

Diane Webster

morning sunshine

a galaxy of stars

across the snow


Diane Webster



white scarf flung

over the dilapidated fence

surrender

Diane Webster



covered in ice

the statue prays

to the sun god

Neena Singh

old neighbor—

a hint of garlic

in her gossip

E. C. Traganas

under the bed

a hibernating dust bunny

waiting for spring

winter sun

shimmering world

in a crystal snow globe

laundry day

the wicker basket full

of sleeping cat

Barrie Levine



trimming the grass

near his stone . . .

dad’s stubble
