bibliosmia
grandpa’s library teems
with untold stories
I try my hand at happiness
with a childhood fairy tale
Mona Bedi, India
in their attic
this dusty box of letters
I'd sent home —
what I wanted my parents
to believe about my life
Sally Biggar, USA
adding
wild blues irises
into a fiery vase
this untamed woman
needs to be unleashed
Pamela A. Babusci, USA
seasons flash by
quicker than lightning
across this lake
the family cottage
falls to rack and ruin
Debbie Strange, Canada
early October
high in the cottonwood
three yellow leaves
the mirror this morning
shows all my gray hairs
Janet Ruth, USA
retracing
a double decade path
to the villa
still standing
beside the fig tree
Katherine E Winnick, UK
