  "Poetry! Mister Editor!",

roars noble assistant editor  Kitty Kali, "We're going to     create a post for us and              all right now!"

Yes, Kitty! And here is our poet, Stephanie Hiteshew,
from Columbia, Maryland...

    Off the Roof               
    Water streams slickly
    off the roof:
    we dance.

                          poet Steve Ausherman
                          Albuquerque, New Mexico...

Crystal morning sun.                           Angled light.
   Streaking cross the open road.                A frosted window.
Willee Nelson singing on the radio.     The chill of last night's dreams.
   Gas tank heading towards empty.

       !!Two kitty visitors from next-door neighbor Faerie Magazine!!
               Noble assistant editor Frosty: "you gotta love 'em"

        poet George Held, New York, New York...

                    Dreary winter days

                    without birdsong—

                   “Listen,” caws the crow

               poet S. L. Peeran, Bengaluru, India...

       Social distancing               Eerie silence 

       Love on crutches               Chirping of birds 

       No parting kisses               Call from unknown

   poet Teresinka Pereira,

   Ottawa Hills, Ohio...                                                     

  POETRY IS A RAINBOW OF FEELINGS                              

        Poetry moistens our

        throat and renews the promise

        within the first kiss.

        A beautiful aquarelle

        rainbow on the horizon

        without poetry

        the lover's eyes see

        neither the color of dawn

        nor trees sway in a breeze.

        Rainbows of poetry bring

        the world life, dew drops, 

        and the smile of morning.

Our echoes will roll from soul to soul and grow forever and forever.
                                                                Francois Sagan

poet r soos, Joshua Tree, California...

   welcome

   when you know my heart
   there will still be deeper paths
   to travel along

                                             journey

                            make yourself at home
                     you will ride along with you
                              for many more years


Kitty Kali:  the poetry of t. kilgore spunk...
               umm, Kitty, that's t. kilgore splake...

   bar room surprise            
 glass suddenly empty             solitary poet
 poet breathing his beer             never alone
                                      having his poems

                soft wilderness music
              floating on light breeze
                 calm peaceful joy


 poet Patricia Carragon, Brooklyn, New York...

  like cat's eyes
  doors to inner space     Brooklyn felines
  open and shut             cattitude
                                comes with the territory
