inkblot god

the rotting

leaves

longer nights

the sleep in these

hooded eyes
 

Joshua Eric Williams

each word

after the first

river delta

thunder snow

confirmation of the news

I was afraid of

Urban Harvest

a potpourri

of fallen leaves

each step

(sw)

strawflowers and dahlias

in the wedding bouquet

(j rap)

mulching the garden

with leftover hay 

sharp scent of rot

(jr)

soused cranberries

too much pumpkin spice

(sw)

kitchen step stool 

the fragrance of basil

dangling from twine

(j rap)

moving the parsley pot inside

before first freeze 

(jr)

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
