desert stones
slowly their shadows
change sides

- Simon Hanson

rusty leaves
my garden
falling down

- Quendryth Young

early autumn
tomatoes on the plant
still blushing

- Myron Lysenko

riverside café
reading
the flood levels

- Duncan Richardson

his anger
rose petals drop
over the fence

- Jade Pisani

summer storm
the brimming moon
in the cattle trough

- Mark Miller

one more book
for the jumble sale—
joy of sex

- Marietta McGregor

coming home
through cracked bridges
of my roots

- Barbara A. Taylor

wild wind
she asks me to take
Viagra

- Myron Lysenko

drab mudflat
a million scavenging
crabs

- Quendryth Young

just enough breeze
to move the curtain
moonlit waves

- Simon Hanson
