jasmine on the breeze—
he says my name
with a sigh

                Aurora Antonovic

my eyes close
to the cadence of rain
on a skylight
a much cleaner world
when they reopen

                an’ya

marriage jubilee
the blurred lovebirds
on the pillowcases

                John Tiong Chunghoo

willows in the rain
tracing their pattern
on the windowpane

                Angelee Deodhar

high above
the shantytown
homemade kites

                Margarita Engle

thunderclap!
even the wind
changes color

                Laryalee Fraser

hollow log—
the forest wind blows
out of tune

                Warren Gossett

abandoned fishing port
one egret
fishing

                Keiko Izawa

looking for the moon
in a moon-colored sky,
the smell of smoke

                Kami

sudden spring rain
my shape on this flat rock
for only a second

                Kirsty Karkow

early thaw—
the earth tugging
at my footsteps

                Bill Kenney

the train bridge
allows dreams to pass
to Mississippi

                J. Andrew Lockhart

deserted playground—
on the hopscotch board
a yellow leaf

                Jacek Margolak

canoe in the mist—
an old friend
I thought I’d lost

mudflats
painted over—
scarlet ibises

                Dustin Neal

torn cobweb
he tells me
he’ll never marry

                Polona Oblak

on Lover’s Bridge
a cigarette light
pacing

                Paul Pfleuger, Jr.

at dusk
the refinery glitters—
a Taj Mahal

                Helen Ruggieri

mountain spring—
a butterfly’s shadow
from stone to stone

                Grzegorz Sionkowski

zen garden
a bit of the sun
in the koi pond

                Marie Summers

a child
holds the sky by a string—
blue kite

                Alan Taylor

a cat peeks
from the homeless man’s
wool coat

                CarrieAnn Thunell

breathing together
in a personal rhythm—
my mum and the sea

                Geert Verbeke

this evening
the same mirror
as yesterday

                Robert D. Wilson
