poet Dennis Rhodes, Naples, Florida...
That rumble you hear?
Civilization itself
crumbling around us.
My heart cries out to
the little girl who played dead
to save her own life.
What have we come to
that we must teach our children
to do such a thing.
Flawed but well-meaning.
That is the state of my soul
At the present time.
poet Patricia Carragon, Brooklyn, New York...
on a blanket of leaves
neighborhood kittens
play hide-and-seek
when daffodils bloom
pregnant calicoes sashay
down garden catwalks
assistant editor Tama, mewing!,
"Our Brooklyn girl Patricia gets extra-special treats for her
lovely Kitty poems!"...
poet Sarah Mahina Calvello, San Francisco, California...
Exposing
The mystery Koi pond
Of a cup of tea Flowers everywhere
Enjoying Sunday
A stolen kiss
Under climbing night jasmine
About time
poet Mary Jo Balistreri, Waukesha, Wisconsin...
In our netted tent, we lie under
the bright canopy of constellations,
I reach over for your outstretched hand,
notice your hair--silvered, as if the moon
had run her fingers through it.
The fireflies bed down. We, too, zip up
our tent as the soft fall of rain
recites evening's last poem.
poet Stephen Jarrell Williams, Murietta, California...
tomato seed
lifting its green head from earth
tiny leaves bowing
free bird
flying below the clouds
tasting the rain mist
bamboo wind chimes
hanging from the patio roof
tinkling fingers
Profuse cloud
Swaddles the sun
Into a moon
Faded faces in The photograph
Peering out at me
Capturing my thoughts
poet Peggy Dugan French, Cardiff, California...
picking berries
a quiet peace
fills the air
owl's distant night call
dark clouds hiding full moon
soul floating on stream water
purple hint of dawn
white birch shadows vanishing
beginning another day
dreams on fire
imagination wildly burning
waking hungry to write
poet r. soos, Joshua Tree, California...
desert
stars don't seem to sleep
while we watch wondrous shows
wander through the sky
exiles
the joshua trees
huddle against desert wind
ecstatic with joy
see you in a moment...
