Afternoon of October 9, 2022

wagamama nottingham

chopsticks clacking

slurpers slurping

sauce-stained noodles

from wooden bowls

rows of peasants

packed onto benches

behind glass

umami
 

~Mark Gilbert



A domino falls over,

and over another

its neighbor falls.

~Catherine Zickgraf



morning mist

every word colored

mondegreen

~John Pappas



in today's horoscope

the colour I dislike

is lucky for the day


~Muskaan Ahuja



night market

the flowerseller’s

can of paint
 

~Kelly Moyer



sure thing

Sweating

and screaming

as Espresso Speedway

powered past Masterclass

in the final straight.

I was hooked,

addicted.


~Mark Gilbert



Denali bus ride …

tourists watching the moose

watching the tourists
 

~Bonnie J Scherer



gravity waves

past catastrophes

causing ripples

today and next week


~Mark Gilbert



empty theatre

we meet

in ghost light

John Pappas



Half moon floats

above orange and red trees

darkening sky

shivers, not from the cold

~Steve Van Allen



a corpse

 rising from pond scum

 year of the rat 


~Anna Cates



glowing moon

casts a shadow—

flying witch
 

~Sharon H. Frost



lucky to have wrinkles to worry about

~Patrick Sweeney



a looking glass half-fully conscious

~Kelly Moyer



building muscle…

the repetitions in

sleepless nights

 

~Bonnie J Scherer



tonight

the unicorn

that was feeding

with my dreams

didn't come

I stayed up all night

waiting

and counting

sheep

on and on

~Mirela Brăilean



I must be crazy

to write all these

but here I am

~Mirela Brăilean
