Noble assistant editor Kitty Kali, mewing, "Poetry! Kitties, poets, all sorts of folks and critters need their poetry, Mister Editor!"

Food and kindness
essential ingredients
for human survival
Money may not last
But true love? It always lasts.
Love trumps poverty.
poet La-Tasha Gardener, Clarendon, Jamaica...
Imagination
A means to escape
A fantasy we wish to live
Even for a day.
Chair
Standing on all fours
Rest heavy burden on me
I stand here to serve.
poet Mary Jo Balistreri,
Waukesha, Wisconsin...
falling flakes that drift
in silence frosted window panes
in peace spangles of dreamscapes
like antique lace
aged trees burning
in our hearths
kindling even the coldest heart
poet Pawel Markiewicz, Bielsk Podlaski, Poland...
after fallen rain
on spider's web soft meek dew
sip of butterfly
during gorgeous rain
the drops mixed with falling dew
on the web - miracle
poet Amy Hrynchuk, Sherwood Park, Canada...
Love and Peace
Love is:
Life
One
Valuable
Everlasting
Peace is:
Powerful
Enjoyed
Accepted
Celebrated
Everlasting
poet Carl Mayfield, Rio Rancho, New Mexico...
Blank Look #722
Old dog in the shade, his tail
suddenly wags once, the light
in his eyes, witnessing.
Wherever he's going it won't be
on those bent and trembling legs.
He should arrive a few days before me.
Noble assistant editors Kitty Kali and Frosty, mew, mew, mewing! "Kitty Poetry, Mister Editor! We need Patricia Carragon's Kitty Poems!"
poet Patricia Carragon, Brooklyn, New York...
Savanna
cat whiskers brushing
the human on the mat
calico witches
high on vampire catnip
Halloween howl
ghostly calicoes
toms the color of midnight
catnip bewitches
poet Judith Partin Nielsen, Longmont, Colorado...
Endings #2
folded flag from the casket
pressed against my heart
even now feeling your arms
tightly around me
Calligraphy Sky
long, slow jet stream
crosses over the sky
calligraphy sky
Scots poet John McDonald, Edinburgh, Scotland...
