"A Precious Moment"
The lone figure skis
across a powdered surface
man and nature embrace.
"Peacocks"
Peacocks spread their wings
colors on feathers lure me
transporting my soul.
A foggy morning.
The deer came out right on cue
to nibble breakfast.
All great artists are
haunted, the poet told me
with a ghostly grin.
poet Nancy L. Dahl, Ypsilanti, Michigan...
poet Mary Jo Balistreri, Waukesha, Wisconsin...
As day darkens toward night
those we have lost
appear along the roadside of our minds.
We carry them forward even as they vanish
into the blur of distance
Carry them with us
to another harvest
poet Patricia Carragon, Brooklyn, New York...
heatwave
my train runs inspiration
on cat time from her mews
she scratches the page
poet t. kilgore splake, Calumet, Michigan...
morning haikus finished
drinking green tea
warm buddha smile
late march ice out
crocus buds rising
earth breathing again
gentle river rhythms
soothing poet's soul
quiet wilderness moment
poet Thomas Merton...

poet John McDonald, Edinburgh, Scotland... in Scots and English...
frae the fitbaw perk from the football park
the ref's fussle - the ref's whistle
a bleckie repones a blackbird answers
attercaps spiders
it houghmagandie making love
...snorlie threid ...knotted thread
poet Judith Nielsen, Longmont, Colorado...
Wedding Dress
wedding dress still hangs
in the back of the closet
all these glorious years
Face of a Buddha
among the orchids
face of Buddha appears
nothing extra
just here
things unfold
as they do
and even in that
there is
a special beauty
