Riding White Roads

 

riding white roads
before dawn without a horse
winds of winter

 

....................Jane Reichhold

 

footsteps in the snow
emerging with the sun

 

....................keiko

 

moving clouds divide,
reappearing beyond reach —
shadows crystallize.

 

...................Zoned Cat

 

Once flowed like a red river
black isthmus — old, cold lava

 

...................David Oates

 

filigreed moon
gliding on the pond
a cricket's call

 

.....................keiko

 

leaves in the gutter
hiding my cat's eye marble

 

.....................Michael Dylan Welch

 

sugar maples —
street and sky lined
with bright gold

 

.....................Jim Mullins

 

opening the honey jar
I see your hair in sunlight

 

....................Gene Doty

 

through the steam
of my cup of tea
your tender morning smile

 

....................Yu Chang

 

covered in ribbon and old perfume
our love letters

 

....................Sangeet Bhullar

 

the baby sleeping
suddenly suckles
vigorously

 

....................izak bouwer

 

in the sunlight puppies
chase each other's tails

 

....................acm

 

desert cool
of the summer moon
desert pool

 

.....................jane

 

thunderclap echoes
through the canyon

 

.....................keiko

 

rings are worn
hands lay quiet
anniversary day

 

.....................Lael Johnson

 

the moonlight resides
in our house tonight

 

....................izak

 

early guests —
the primroses
snowcovered

 

....................Philip Adams

 

change in the weather
all our cars dripping clean

 

...................Francine Porad

 

weeping willow next door
the first tree to bear leaves

 

.......................Pete B.

 

swoop from fence to lawn
a beakful of fluff and off

 

.......................Sue

 

a truck passing
on the distant highway
in the still of night

 

.......................izak

 

light on clouds above
a still-distant town

 

.......................Jim Mullins

 

snow-covered mountains
aging and wise

grandmother's eyes

 

.......................Lael Johnson

 

the way she waters houseplants
guests sip her herbal tea

 

........................jane

 

I look in your eyes
and see myself in your soul
strength flows between us

 

........................Ihojin

 

awakened by
her hand on my face

 

.........................Pete B.
