| | | | | Interrogatives by Neil Leadbeater Those days we could use interrogatives like
Did I tell you about the heatwave in July? | | | I Don't Suppose by Jan Sand I don't suppose it's popular to say
That soon this planet won't
Have any place to stay where we
Can avoid the heat or not drown
Or have a glass of water to drink. | | | The Wild Boy of Aveyron by George Cassidy Payne Before we learned to solve each other's traps,
you reminded me of that poor wolf child,
urged on by hunger, digging for roots and bulbs in the fields, | |
|
| | The Surfer by Nikos Laios It's cold and the wind
Is howling along the coast,
The smell of the ocean
Hangs in the air | | | Forgiven sins by Amir Khatib I reveal to you a great secret;
When I took you to the garden,
It wasn't my intention to harvest the wet as I promised you, | | | The Seeds Of Death by Jan Sand The seeds of death are intimate to the birth of life
To strike away the false and clumsy, shear
To oblivion the inexact. | | | Like Zen by Michael Lee Johnson You are morning
when the artist comes
young oriental with your
poems like Zen. | | | Greenhouse by Osy Mizpah Unuevho I believe this. I sing yes to the flower before
the earth unclenches what is in her fist- a
crib to lie down in / a book of women | | | Sorrows by Nikos Laios I became an eagle,
And I carried bundles
Of sorrows on my wings,
And I soared into the sky | | | Amy by George Cassidy Payne I honor you
Your fierceness
and devotion
To family and friends | | prev | | next | |
