praying about
adopting my Chinese niece
for a season
all the different paths
that rain can make

Dennis Owen Frohlich, USA

lacewing eggs
on a clothes line
this alien feeling
war news
from another planet

Harshada Kulkarni, India

the wastefulness
of modern life
once again
admiring the crow’s
humble abode

Edward Dewar, Canada

little by little
dusk swallows the roofs
of houses. . .
sparrow song fading
into the bamboo

David He, China

garden gate
a new web blocking
my entrance
this silk mandala
too lovely to disturb

an'ya, USA

sunlit dust
in the empty hall—
how gently
the years return
to nothing

Neena Singh, India
