hidden cemetery
in New Hampshire woods
my family trees
have become part of the forest
covered by snow in a month

Thomas Smith, USA

rain against
the windowpanes
I master
the art
of crying inside

Susan Burch, USA

misty morning
as the road dips low
fog thickens
we move by faith
along a remembered path

Julie Thorndyke, Australia

early morning
a herd of deer
grazes where new homes will rise
their breath disperses
in the mist

Simon Wilson, UK

seafoam
the earth shifts
beneath my feet
this version of you
unknown to me

Mona Bedi, India

clouds
of many shapes
sail by…
in a child’s picture book
the circus is back in town

Tim Dwyer, Northern Ireland
