midday hush
the rasp of a mallard
calling his mate

Ray Rasmussen

 

a heart-shaped pebble
if you hold it just right —
our first days apart

winter rain . . .
who am I
to the cat?

Paul Pfleuger, Jr.

 

Darkening sky
snowflakes soundless
against the garden chime

Carol Purington

 

winter evening —
my newly divorced friend
hogs the cat

Sandra Simpson

 

 
 

a magnolia leaf
falls between us
tenor sax

Lenard D. Moore

 

restless pigeons —
gentle words from a clerk
bring a hint of tears

William J. Higginson

 

dead hamster —
my son invents
a religion

George Dorsty

 

Cold winter night
    the scent from fireplaces
        all the way home

lunar eclipse
the primal beat of techno
from a passing car
