A bump in the road

That’s all it is

Winter’s sparseness

~Sarah Mahina Calvello




downpours of rain

windscreen wipers draw

two parentheses

two of us, alone in the night

between darkness and rain

 

trombes de pluie

les essuie-glace dessinent

deux parenthèses

à deux, seuls dans la nuit

entre ténèbres et pluie


~Marie Derley



 

if only

my thoughts were a mime

~Sharon Ferrante



 

no wind spinning the weather vane just for fun

~Sharon Ferrante




seasonal political allergies

~Roberta Beach Jacobson




the way farmers talk mustard blooms

~Tejendra Sherchan




Mexican jumping beans

first lunar leaps

seeding the exosphere

~Douglas J. Lanzo





feline magic:

nothing is created, nothing is destroyed,

everything is transformed—

the Christmas tree becomes

a Christmas gift

~Oscar Luparia




ash plume

teaching thunder

to meditate

~Sheikha A.




seeking refuge

in dank crevices

cluster flies 

 

~Sheikha A.




Hearing Aids



They're annoying

but they serve a purpose


You can take them out

when you've heard enough.


~Sheila Parker




chance meeting

in the crosswalk

doppelgängers

~Stephanie Zepherelli




happy meals

forever chemicals

for children

~Stephanie Zepherelli



 

cutting cords

a double helix

left behind

~Stephanie Zepherelli
