Life
of Mom
On the fridge
I taped
a drawing
a house, a sun,
blue skies
“Keep practicing”
I said to her
I’ll help you
~Katie Hong
I can’t stop crying
but then—
chocolate mousse

Tears
Tears
are not the dishes
of diplomacy
but melancholic chirps
of
a solitary nightingale.

Life’s theatre —
We enter
Hit our marks
Say our lines
Exit on cue
No rehearsal
No applause
No encore
Reviews will
Always be mixed
~Pam Makin
Light
Night
A road that leads
To new ways
New days
Dawn is somewhere
Beyond darkness
And I am alone
Ranting
Like a prophet
~Pam Makin
etiquette blogger
so thoughtless
as a corpse

Orange
as Ever
Gone with the wind
As all things should
The
orange evening fades violet
As the leaves bristle in surprise
Life passes by
Cradled back and forth with the meshing seasons
Left in a tepid cycle
But as long as it is orange,
It’s fine.
~David Kim
Lost in Blue
Remember life
You used to be so blue
Satisfied if I play along
First embrace I shared with you
Above us, only sky
I can paint the world
It was all just make believe

A Very Serious Gallery
The sign outside says
you are not welcome
if you are a Bon Jovi fan.
I will admit
I don’t like Bon Jovi much.
But now I wish I did.

the karate kids

stream—
quickens its gurgle

“Just relax” they said
“Go with the flow”
But they couldn’t hear the roar
of the waterfall inside my head
~Pam Makin
everything we see hides another thing,
we always want to see
what is hidden by what we see
~Fhen M.
