poet John Grey, Johnstown, Rhode Island...
below the surface edge of the pond
a cloud of fish bright fish gather
safe with me mouths say please
poet Don Ryan, Chicago, Illinois...
The best thing about you
Speaks within you
And is heard in your smile.
Stop telling me
To pull up my bootstraps
When I'm walking barefooted.
poet Lisa Reynolds, Ajax, Ontario...
poet Patricia Carragon, 'that Brooklyn girl'...
crocuses rise
daffodils yawn
tulips sleep until April in ashes
Brigid's blessings
the crocus listens
from her perch
feline eyes follow you
et tu, humane?
poet Angelee Deodhar...
relearning how
to change the umpteenth diaper
the arthritic granny
spring morning
cyclists lean into
mountain mist

and poet Toni Morrison...
poet Juanita Torrence-Thompson, Bayside, New York...
RAINY DAYS HAIKU
On rainy days we
Popped popcorn near the stove and
Did crossword puzzles.
SPRING RAIN HAIKU
A rainy spring day
Beckons Rita Dove poems
While sipping cocoa.
Assistant editors Frosty and Tama, "More poetry, Mister Editor! Kitties and peoples need even more poetry! And! Special treats!"...
poet Sarah Mahina Calvello, San Francisco, California...
Just another
Snickerdoodle morning
Soft and sweet
Freshly brewed coffee
Saturday Farmer's Market
Let's go
Noble assistant editor Frosty: And we have a picture of poet Rachael Ikin's kitty Cato!...
