Moments

by Richard M. Ankers There’s the moments when I close my eyes. The moments when life catches me off guard. Moments when the darkness peels apart like the rind of an orange, clinging together in spirals, not letting go, wobbling. They gather. I’m overwhelmed. They can’t be shaken, these moments of once bliss. I’m haunted by… Leer más Moments

Snow Angel

by Gina Maria Manchego The dismissal cumulus clouds hung heavy and full. Mother Nature was pregnant with the silence of winter. We held hands tightly, fingers crossed that the end wouldn’t hurt too much. To have our beginning we had to endure another goodbye.

Springtime

by Dawn Pisturino Springtime struggles to surviveThe clasping arms of winter,Stirring up the homey-hiveAnd bringing forth the flower. She hastens to restore the sun:The melting snows recede;And when the sap begins to run,The worm returns to feed. A flock of sparrows in the sky;A big, red-breasted robinPerched to catch a passing fly,His little heart a-throbbin’.… Leer más Springtime

Blue

The Poet’s Soul

by Petru Racolța The poet’s soul,Burden of feelingsWhat is getting easier-slowlyOnly through burning lyrics. The poet’s heart,Of many longings-tried,It would launch into a duetWith another one lonely. The poet’s thoughts,Of dreams possessed,Avoid concrete livingAnd they cannot be deciphered. The poet’s loves,Expressed euphorically,Never concretelyAlways, metaphorically. The poet’s fate,Unceasing tumult,Epithets-in a notebook,Thought-provoking. https://racoltapetru6.wordpress.com Peakpx
