pirouetting
through the golden air
around me
a shower of pine seeds
from the squirrel’s perch
Jenny Ward Angyal, USA
would I choose
to evaporate in a crash
or die
after life-saving measures ...
a bonfire of autumn leaves
Suraja Menon Roychowdhury, USA
late afternoon sun
scatters glitter
through the rain
elm leaves no longer
the only gold falling
Cynthia Bale, Canada
red my favorite
color for salsa dancing
was it the red
that gave me power
or simply my youth
Genie Nakano, USA
hot spring
waters
reddish brown
the sacredness
of my ochre robe
Lakshman Bulusu, USA
no red this year
among orange and yellow
leaves . . .
my father never failed
to be the life of the party
Lynne Schilling, USA
