Assistant editor Kitty Kali, mewing!..."Poetry!"
"We need a new
poetry post,
Mister Editor! And, then!!! Everyone will have their very own best ever treats!"...
Yes, Kitty Kali! And we'll begin with
poet Anthony Ward, Durham, England...
Faded faces in the photograph
Peering out at me
Capturing my thoughts
poet Sarah Mahina Calvello, San Francisco, California...
Making coffee
The dance of the morning
All to familiar The quiet
Rush of warm breath
Under eucalyptus
Talking about the past
Roasting marshmallows around the fire
In flannel pajamas
poet t. tilgore splake, Calumet, Michigan...
early morning prayer
god give me coffee
brain and pot lid rattling like li po
days wandering cliffs
dreaming need poems
enjoying wilderness whispers
soft pine needle hum
growing self awareness
poet Linda Amos, York, Pennsylvania...
Just
Some of the best moments
In my life
Were just
A moment
Away!
poet James B. Peters, Cottontown, Tennessee...
for me the war ended
on a board fence whispers
beside the pond among the stones
of the forgotten
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 r. soos, Joshua Tree, California...
shadows
drop from morning clouds
cooling one corner of the yard
for us to enjoy
rain
reflects in and out
lights in every direction
are caught in each drop
poet marsupial p., Davies' Diner havin' pork chops...
rain
the great equalizer-
falling on the poet
as well as those
not knee-deep in daisies...
when writing how can one
not escape leaving bits of
themselves-bit of flesh
in the typewriter gears
with each stroke of the key.
otherwise
what's the writing for...
after "uncle" Leo
poet Patricia Carragon, Brooklyn, New York...
when daffodils bloom
pregnant calicoes sashay
down garden catwalks
kitten caboodle
litter box quicksand hides poop
but not the scent
Savasana
cat whiskers brushing
the human on the mat
poet Judith 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
things unfold
as they do
and even in that
there is
a special beauty
see you in a moment...
