An idea, a joke

a suggestion

and wordplay all

walk into a bar.


I buy them a round,

then invite them

into my poem.

~Keith Snow




shadow of a soul

marks on a canvas

ghosts that ask forgiveness

longing for redemption

yearning for the light

~dan smith




sweaty brow—

only a large fan

at the laundromat

~Patricia Carragon




midsummer birds cling to the air the space between us 

~Sarah Mahina Calvello 



 

his way of looking always askance

~dan smith




light comes down soft in the moment it happens morning coffee 

~Sarah Mahina Calvello 




Purity

 

I do not read poetry.

 

I do not want it to affect

 

my voice.

~Noah Berlatsky



 

After Jean Valentine

 

footprints

slowly

fill with snow

 

write a different poem

slowly

not about snow

~Noah Berlatsky



 

Death of a Hummingbird 


 A dot, a miniature cyclone. 


The heart is breathless like the most beautiful diamond that could ever be

made to resist death. 


And the beauty, the crystalline analysis, the perfection of form, the

balanced line, the irresistible temper of a creature living at such speeds it

flies itself out of this world.

~John Vlachos



 

frequency hopping 


accept able      



employ able 



suit able


~Jerome Berglund



 

summer heat 

even the dirty stream

is tempting

~tom blessing



 

road trip

my son sings both parts 

of the song

~Jennifer Gurney



 

all I hear

in the heat of the moment

ice in my glass

~Jennifer Gurney



 

low tide leaves gifts

a castle in the driftwood

a mermaid in the kelp

~Jennifer Gurney



 

Somehow 


Somehow an incomplete sentence draws the conclusion. 
 

~ Partha Sarkar
