an autumn stroll
with my faithful dog
he runs ahead
to chase birds
into winter
Jared Frank, USA
it’s all gone south
except
the sparrows
you will always have
with you
Dan Schwerin, USA
The subtle tones
of twilight
reduce the echo
of the words I’ve heard
all day.
Dominic Bond, UK
another winter
another season
another trip around
they read obituaries
to see who left
Thomas Smith, USA
somewhere in the street
a tune drifts out,
a far-off flute full of yearning,
yet maybe it is only
the wind in the tram-wires.
Mark Valentine, UK
