 Futile

Brian Strand, UK

War,
famine
continue
without answer—
perhaps we ask wrong questions of ourselves.
 

 

Time for Tea

Trish Shields, CA

if
we all
just sat down
and talked it out—
perhaps inviting everyone for tea?

 

 

Home for the Holidays

Vaughn Seward, CA

yule
log burns,
a festive
warmth fills the room
with family cheer shared at the year's end

 

 

Yule Log

Trish Shields, CA

Yuletide
season holds
great prospects for
peace on earth as we step back from the brink

 

 

 

 When I Am First Aroused From Sleep My Love

John Daleiden

sing
sweetly
like the dove
at morning light—
fill my waking dreams each day with delight.
Oh vision, vanish not into the bright
bluster of day
forgotten
in one
yawn.
