sixtieth birthday -
those same
dreamboat eyes
that stole hearts
in his youth

Anne Curran, New Zealand

treasured LP
the skip on
the track
where you taught
me to tango

Nick T, UK

sea shells
on the beach…
in time
all things come to find
their resting place

Leon Tefft, USA

I picture my son
reading my poems
after I'm gone--
dewdrops magnify
the blue iris

Chad Lee Robinson, USA

in frost I dream
of fields of wild flowers,
and find
a purple butterfly
dead within my scarf

Jenny Polstra, New Zealand

shaded by elms
I plant marigolds
for my dad...
beside his gravestone
sparrow song

Marion Alice Poirier, USA
