CHILD
Your eyes are windows
through which every day comes
the sun of knowledge and life.
Your busy hands
happen to hold the world
like a giant balloon
which consents to the touch
of magic innocence.
Child, your power
is unlimited and fertile:
learning to walk
on humanity's path
and love it as your own.
poet Patricia Carragon, Brooklyn, New York...

tell that to feline karaoke raccoons amuse
the sleeping cat gets hotter the indoor cat
poet Roberta Beach Jacobson, Indianola, Iowa...
with each purr cool afternoon breeze
cat shares scatters petals
some of his nine lives of last garden rose
California...
taking his lunch break
out back
in the cottonwood shade
by the RR tracks--
the yard-man
alfalfa dusted overalls
ripped inked biker arms
with grim blue-blood tattoos
& Metallica baseball cap--
reading Issa
poet Pawel Markiewicz, Mickiewicza, Poland...
a mild evening meteorite falling into

from the spider's web with Druid tombs
