in a forest
full of fallen leaves
in fiery tones
an empty chair
by a little lake
Pegah Rahmati Nezhad, Iran
the unique shapes
of freshwater pearls
threaded on string
by my blue-eyed waterman
a bead for each year married
Marilyn Humbert, Australia
hankering for spring
i sort through
seed catalogs
for psychedelic
perennials
Pamela A. Babusci, USA
ripening
a half-grown fruit
all too soon —
this green side of me
struggling to sweeten
Vaishnavi Ramaswamy, India
fox prints in the garden…
once, twice
maybe three times
I thought I saw
a flash of red
Edward Dewar, Canada
the dog’s
glaucoma gaze
glossing over
a final goodbye
one sad April
Anna Cates, USA
