John Daleiden Boundaries Paths lead beyond the meadow through ominous woods. I walked there yesterday past dark entanglements, dense spider webs fraught with the black corpse of my now discarded demons, shed when fear threatened to consume my acts once more. An edge of doubt restored faith on my short journey— yesterday, in the darkest hour I thought of never seeing your bright eyes at breakfast— each morning, sipping hot coffee, observing weather, and small talk— those words we speak all day never hearing what has been left unsaid— without hesitation I knew that if we continued to race downward on that path, the entanglements and thickets of deceit would kill our garden with lies and fear. I put aside the cankers, dark impediments, and permit only the blue skies of clear reason to guide us where we walk hand in hand.

 

John Daleiden Gourmet Delight Herbs add zest to the best recipes—add a dash of this and a dash of that—accents to taste; confirm your merits as a gourmet who cares to delight the palate of guests deigning to just taste the medley of verse— songs, tunes, blues, ode— genre— solid rock foundations poets craft of delicate, gossamer images teasing the mind, delighting the senses, enigmatic word games offering clues, twinkling stars at the edge of the universe.

 

Brian Strand Nature's Irony   Just out of reach- blackberries above the nettles.   Arachnids   Wind blown spider filaments riding on the breeze- ballooning on a world wide web.
