poet Keiko Izawa, Yokohama, Japan...
opening a tuna can
for my sandwich
a cat at my foot
Assistant editor Frosty, mewing,
"Lucky Keiko! Sharing her poem, and! a can of tuna, with her kitty! We are long overdue for a poetry post, Mr. Editor, and! For treats!"
Yes, noble assistant editor, we are... first, poetry!... and then... treats for all!
afternoon gust
the doorman lets in a guest & a sycamore leaf
mom’s smiling photo...
how difficult
to take things easy
poet Amy Hrynchuk, Sherwood Park, Canada...
Free Flow
Let the river flow
Let the emotions flow
Let the dam crumble
Let the walls crumble
As the river flows
Let the tears flow
As the dam crumbles
Let the barriers crumble
'that (our) Brooklyn girl!',
poet Patricia Carragon...
from her perch
feline eyes follow you
et tu, humane?
indoor cats eyeing
mourning dove’s nest
on neighbor’s a/c
at day’s end
sunset drapes bricks
cats wait for dinner
a graceful breeze
massages fingers
of barren branches
poet Kelley Jean White, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania...
beneath another
April snowfall
a nuthatch glares
daylight savings time
she tugs her tricycle
out of the snowbank
flicker of moonlight—
caught for a moment
by the spider’s web
Ikebana—
I want to set
the flowers free
poet Jimmy Pappas, Chichester, New Hampshire...
old couple at bank still beautiful
first time skiing
moose sliding
on an icy road
fire hydrant
a small boy
with arms spread
poet Aftab Yusuf Shaikh, Mumbai, India...
my angel has said
the day you win your mad whim
the devil is dead
poet Judith Partin Nielsen, Longmont, Colorado...
closing the circle
closing the circle
of my life
diameter once
vast as the horizon
now searching for
the radius of
that blessed path
leading to the
heart of Everything
Sugar Wolf Loves U
"Sugar Wolf loves u"
homeless poet leaves
his calling card --
back side of the postal box
poet Rachael Ikins, Baldwinsville, New York...
Toilet full of marigolds
in a fallow cornfield
makes me laugh
and, last and first!
Lin and Yuki, Keiko Izawa's rescue kitties!...

assistant editor Kitty Kali, "Extra treats for our mewtiful poets!"
Whose artwork in the sweetly-scented jasmine,
Whose odour and aroma,
Whose caress and delicacy
See I in the jasmines blooming
Sweetly looking so lovelier and charming,
Pleasing to our core?
assistant editor Frosty: "As always, extra special treats for Sir Bijay!"
Wonderful issue. Thank you kitty crew. Bring on the treats. That brooklyn girl. Patricia
