"Poetry! Mister Editor, cats and their loved ones all need mewtiful poetry! and, treats!"
Yes, noble assistant's Frosty and Tama!
And we'll begin with poet
Julie A. Dickson, Exeter, New Hampshire...
Daisy, summer smile
Sunny center, outstretched petals
Arms wide to embrace
poet Judith Nielsen, Longmont, Colorado...
Lone Crow
last scribbled note from you
tucked inside my prayer book
a gentle reminder — love is
stronger than death
poet Joe Sebastian, Chennai, India...
sea shore wedding
two synchronized gulls
dip and dive
swept in
the hospice revolving door autumn leaves
poet/editor Peggy Dugan French and Hafiz...
poet Ram Chandran, Madurai, India...
slowly
receding mist
mountain shows up
seashore
I slowly walked
with a crab
poet Sarah Mahina Calvello,
San Francisco, California...
Frosty circles
Hang in the air
New page, new chapter
Purist blue
The magnificence of a seashell Hidden winding staircase
poet t. kilgore splake, Calumet, Michigan...
new poet's success
full wastebasket proof
becoming a writer
endless night darkness
moon large enough
to hold poet's dreams
looking over zoo fence
imagining being in cage
wolf outside and free
