"Poetry, Mister Editor! It's a
and peoples need poetry!"
poet John Parsons, E Sussex, UK...
what more sense is there
than springs evening woods
where hedge sparrows
and robins trill
hearts into place

poet Dennis Rhodes, Naples, Florida...
Mother and ducklings
cross the busy roadway as The kinder a person you are
the world holds its breath. the finer a poet you are.
poet Juanita Torrence-Thompson, Bayside, New York...
ROSE PETALS
Velvet mauve petals
scented oil, water
cut with limes
-- a sensuous catharsis.
Warm rivulets
massage thinly layered skin
like sublime pomegranates
dancing at a Peruvian wedding.
poet Karen O'Leary,
West Fargo, North Dakota...
singed oak...
love's wedding tree
survives poets Karen O'Leary,
and, Paul Callus, Malta, Europe...
poet Karen... holes
in swiss cheese...
my memory
poet Paul... the missing pieces
of the jigsaw puzzle
assistant editor Kitty Kali, with her favorite poem from a past post-
("I love mermaids and faeries and that Brooklyn girl," mews Kali...
poet Patricia Carragon, Brooklyn, New York...
ROLLER COASTER TRAIN
We were approaching the last stop,
Coney Island -- Stillwell Avenue,
but the N train didn't stop --
it continued upwards on tracks
that rose above the station
until it made that sudden descent
and plunged into the ocean
where the real mermaids waited
over an hour to get on.
a faerie visits from
FAERIE MAGAZINE!...
and! two more poems, from
Peggy Dugan French, and, our beloved Judith Partin-Nielsen...
poets Peggy...
friendship across the miles
first a kind word
then a smile and, Judith...
slowly a deep knowing
wanting to go home
longing toward that place
now only remembered
still, I see the horizon
