Marshmallow Clouds
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
Masses of creamy clouds give me pause, in sweetest summer,
as they drift away like honey dreams, in lazy days of slumber.
Radiant, world class travelers, changing colors like sun jewels,
sharing secrets, like winking stars, in mystic, creeping rituals.
Here today, gone tomorrow, like pink dragonfly, gilded by sun.
Maybe faces will soon be imagined, in forms, so like gold, spun.
Always they seem very near, from green mountaintop so lofty,
letting one have a glimpse of heaven, while enjoying a coffee.
Lavender and lace is oft seen at even, floating off to nowhere,
or perhaps to rest in mysterious, gemmed bedrooms in the air.

Lovers' Lips
by Blaine B
"Soul meets soul on lovers' lips" – Percy Shelley
Soul mates.
Our connection was so pure,
Our hearts combined as if they were made for each other,
As if we were made for each other,
And when your hand
Meets mine,
That connection is only made stronger,
Your fingertips shock my skin with pure joy,
Your lips send a jolt through mine,

Gus' 12th Street Café
by Joe Cyr
(acrostic)
Good food is the reason people come here to eat;
Unless you try Gus' Café, you'll miss a fine treat.
Soup specials with most of your lunches each day;
'tis the place to eat in Sarasota, they say.
1st class cooking always takes place in this kitchen;
2nd to none around, especially the chicken.
The place to come also to enjoy fine beef stew,

Boy & Girl Scouts
by Joe Cyr
(acrostic)
Despite a world cursed with greed and conceit,
One, at times, may receive in the street
A kind deed, done without motivation.
Great feats aren’t in this category,
Only simple deeds but transitory.
One kind work in self-deprecation

VanBrunt
by Ash VanBrunt
Venomous people can be
Appalling they call you when they see your scars
Never safe when alone
But when with friends all you can do is pretend
Real friends will stay with you
Unhappy but they cant find out
Never tell they don't find out
Try to tell and you might regret

Life
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
L-ilacs, pink roses, plum tulips, and red daisies.
I-t's essential to sniff them, before they are gone;
F-or the fun lives are enjoying orange sunshine!
E-ver since birth, green has been everywhere.
