A Photo Essay

 

Homeless Child

 


Betty Kaplan, US

little man you'll find
there will be more for you
then what you now see

 

 


Free Verse

A. D. Winans, US

Searching eyes
take in the landscape
Eyes like periscopes
surveying the unknown
Safe in his mother's arms
A mosaic tapestry
of magical wonder
awaiting the journey
into the unknown
Two intricate threads
Mother and son as one
Spun from the loom
of the womb

 

 


Karina Klesko, US

chasing after fluffy clouds
what does one see
in a flower of an untilled field?

 

 


Free Verse

Gerry Bravi, CA

Lens seeking lens
Seeing only as you or I can see
How diverse the images on our film
But each so multiply exposed that none
can fathom what gave them birth
 

 

 


Cinquain

John Daleiden, US

I Went To The Fair . . .

Along the Byways

The Fair:
a wondrous world—
the famous, rich, and poor,
like Richard Corey walk through streets
and see
the sights
without insight;
the rose without perfume,
a plastic imitation, false—
is dead.
Rainbows
without color
are like an acid rain
feeding death with every embrace
of love.

the child watches
and waits for our hand—
a tabula rasa
