assistant editor Tama, putting her paw down: "we've been so
busy moving, we haven't recently honored any 0f
the poets we care about!"
assistant ed. Frosty,
stating, "I'm putting
four paws down
in agreement!
(we've been a
little short on treats, also)"
yes, noble assistants, you are so right, and! here we go. . .
Chris Faiers
Marmora, Ontario
secrets revealed
with every step
in the dry stream bed
faded mandalas
carved in the wood
of the old bridge
crows discuss
drought withered fields
and wild red apples
Christina Sng
Singapore
summer break
the cat's hotel water ripples
nicer our cat tries to pat
the goldfish
first day of summer
a raven feather
at the door
('gotta love Christina's cat poems' says Tama)
George Held
New York
Too Few Submissions
Recipe for a failed literary magazine
in one simple guideline:
"We do not consider first-person
poems or fiction.”

EARTH DAY
The earth
is an enormous home,
strong and renewable
where our dreams
and our utopia survive.
The Earth is as recycled
as we are, beings
who live on the surface,
underground,
or in its cosmic space.
Viva the Earth
for the infinite treasure
it gives us!
We must have a special love
for everybody's Earth
and for the everyday Earth!
Catfish McDaris
West Alice, Wisconsin
The Desert
Cochise’s dry hot tears
skeletons of buffalo
windstorm ghosts dry death.
Dennis Rhodes
Naples, Florida
A tortoise and a snail
had a race and no one
else noticed but me.
What to make of it?
Just that it's one of those things
alert poets see.
Would love to tell you who won--
had to go resume
my own race against time.
Bradley Mcilwain
Brooklin, Ontario
muddy path -
boots press on
shallow stream always seeking
a Heron dips her wings —
vision taking flight
"we did it!" says Tama
"and this post just feels good," I reply. . .
Frosty, "yes! and now, everyone, it's time for treats!"
and, we will
see you in a moment
