A Bittersweet Experience

by Evelyn Judy Buehler

I was in my backyard sunning, while lost in warm daydreams,
Enjoying red raspberries, while listening to the birds sing.

Lying on afternoon chaise, in the golden midst of hot July,
As I watched mauve butterflies, and lazy dragonflies go by.

Charmed by the bluest of skies, and the fragranced fresh air,
I felt that surely, there was not a better place anywhere!

The flowers were so lovely, and the grass was so deep green,

Thread

by Jonathan Goff

I.
a cry splits the dark—
heat blooms like benediction
whispering my name.

II.
hand finds my backbone.
lips brush hair in reverence.
and the spring rain falls.

In the Islands Far, Far Away

by Evelyn Judy Buehler

Mission Control, this is Flight Z924693744, do you read?
We're having some technical trouble. How should we proceed?

We have spotted a planet, that appears to be suitable to abort;
But, to return to earth, we will need an alternate transport.

The Capsule Communicator didn't answer at all, unfortunately;
So, the fate of this mission, was then in my own hands, surely.

The twilit world we were approaching, didn't seem at all bad;

A Friend in Need

by Evelyn Judy Buehler

As owner of a business chain, I was in need of an assistant,
One with a very good memory, who was pleasant and consistent.

I knew there were many people, who possessed those qualities,
But I'd always wanted a robot, for I was intrigued by these.

So I decided to obtain one, just as soon as it was possible,
Like seasons arrive in vividness, as soon as it is plausible!

Lately details inundated me, and I was getting quite behind,

Be A Friend

by Edgar Albert Guest

Be a friend. You don't need money;
Just a disposition sunny;
Just the wish to help another
Get along some way or other;
Just a kindly hand extended
Out to one who's unbefriended;
Just the will to give or lend,
This will make you someone's friend.

Be a friend. You don't need glory.

parallel universe of truth

by Rikske Kessner

In one universe, despair repeats,
the same old speech with nothing new.
In another, we laugh at its persistence—
not because it is small,
but because we are still here.

The room was quiet after the storm,
chairs overturned, papers scattered.
We gathered what was left,
not to restore the old order,

Affection That I Want The Most

by Siti Nur Shahirah Azmer

My family saw my bright smile. The forehead kiss from supportive parents. Holding hands with the caring siblings. The beige blouse and a gold bracelet for the birthday gifts. Surrounded by genuine friends— spending time together with a banana chocolate cake. The bonding that I have for today— is the affection that I want the most.

letter to be sent

by Rikske Kessner

I fold the silence into paper,
address it to your absence,
and let the ink wander
where my voice could not.

Every word is a bridge half
built across distance,
collapsing into the river
before you ever arrive.

over-shoulder weather

by Rikske Kessner

Over‑Shoulder Weather

I have walked the length of my sentence
long after the gates unlatched,
counting the gravel underfoot
as if each stone might still accuse.

The years have grown moss over my name,
but transgression carved into memory’s vestibule
means there is always one chair turned away,

“the cupboard light”

by Rikske Kessner

“The Cupboard Light”

It was nearly midnight
when he slipped out of bed,
careful not to wake her.

The house exhaled its silence—
walls warm with sleep,
timber creaking
from the day’s last heat.
