Haiku (21, 22, 24, 30 & 31)
by Richard Wright
21
On winter mornings
The candle shows faint markings
Of the teeth of rats.
22
With a twitching nose
A dog reads a telegram

Lighting One Candle
by Yosa Buson
Lighting one candle
with another candle--
spring evening.

A Final Sundown
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
blooms mass in a vase
a vivid get together
days in sun recalled
wild hours of weather
when they were younger so green
remembering scenes
sunset blooms laughing
comparing lovely costumes
......
A Fruitful Day
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
in strawberry dawn
yellow roses tinged with gold
midst trembling green leaves
blueberry skies and
afternoon's raven shadows
seagulls glide gilt bay
mulberry evening
as scarlet butterflies leave
......
Shadow Dancers
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
here they come again
windblown fugitives of gold
dancing with flowers
sun's shadow dancers
green fluttering leaves darkly
silhouette party
purple birds glide by
dusky beats upon the ground

family road trip
by Sarah A
prayers for roadkill
fifty states of license plates
home is the journey
Fizzle and Shine
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
floating on water
red sun's come down to the sea
blue waves in motion
shimmer and shine dusk
and stars are racing the moon
beyond fiery skies
as the hour grows late
the smoky drapes also fall
