winter twilight
the snow owl's
changing face
-an'ya
Stepping stones litter
the water's edge, promising
a pathway beyond.
-Jo Anastasiadis
A springtime surprise...
Cocoons open in the rain.
Two wet butterflies!
-Lori McDade
The moon of my dreams
Appeared on the sky and lit
your soul and your eyes.
-Rafael Furlong
On top of a hill
a man watches the dim sky
if it brings more hope.
-Imre Zsoldos
her dark reflection
ripples through the lonely night
robed in memories
-MARCIA SCHECHINGER
The sun is sleeping
to make way for the cool night
and the winds that blow
-Sophie Elisabeth Jackson-Lee
on every icicle's tip
a drop
of sunlight
-Alexey Andreyev
spring breeze--
the pull of her hand
as we near the pet store
-Michael Dylan Welch
The warmth of dawn lifts
the valley's misty blanket
to reveal her charm.
-Michael Costello
Morning flower wakes,
stretching open its petals
and greeting the day
