cardinal pining
needles hide elusive mate
solitude for now

     Marion Wong
live a pious life
next life on a pedestal
darn buddhist lawyer ...

     Robert Thomas Lundy

are you looking down?
I feel my booty’s bounded
Will you please free me!

     Beverly Hudson

first warm days of spring
families bask in sudden sun
winter might come back

a prime location
for new condos with a view
the people’s place for now

after tsunami
no one dares to turn their back
on any water

watching the white sails
old men pine for youth gone by
long to fly away

     Gayle O’Key

within this crevice
we shelter from the wind
unlike sailing ships

     Elizabeth Yahn Williams

wind conveying boats
in shadow of sentinel
over unseen depths

     Nadine
intense teal of leaves
complements floral corals
who designed the art?

     Elizabeth Yahn Williams
wings spectacular
tail the envy of all
I fear dusty floors

     Robert Thomas Lundy
Mount Fuji awaits
the trees can climb, but slowly
water keeps trying

     Robert Thomas Lundy
beauty impedes all
even winged creatures walk
with iced up wings

     Robert Thomas Lundy

dressed in white
frozen in time
winterscape

     Mary Lenore Quigley

The cold surrounds us
stay close, hand in hand we walk
you keep my heart warm


joy, wisps of beauty
my love is white, pure as snow
breathe yours into mine

     Ray Thomson

pond drifts with snow
bridges now slippery ice
was Spring just false then?

     Bonnie Rosecliffe

cradled in soft snow
pond bejewels my garden
serenity in stillness

     Elizabeth Yahn Williams

friends glance day away
flutter blue and orange care
hide from sunny day

     Maura Harvey

five little maids are we
dancing to and fro and free!
where is the lavatory?

     Jeanette Accunzo

family in tow
mama avoids geishas
do they talk of her?

     Elizabeth Yahn Williams
anticipation
after a long nap, wings grow
metamorphosis

     Robert Thomas Lundy
a stereotype
the illusion of wisdom
just keep asking who?

     Robert Thomas Lundy
Count Dracula high
looking for a bloody good time
where’s Bloody Mary?

     Beverly Hudson

the bat in the moon
fang wielding black leather goth
still lives with his mom

found myself staring
at the bat bulb in the sky
got left on all night

     Marit Anderson
PICTURE OF ANDY
PIANO ON STAGE
SILENCE

     Patrick Quigley
branches in shadow
watch over lapping waters
while moon guides the tides

     Nadine

one small step for man
one giant leap for mankind
imagination

     Robert Thomas Lundy
early spring’s full moon’s rise
raising spirits shining over water’s
lagoon’s tranquil moments

full moon’s beams dance through
summertime’s night cloudscape
Lagoon all aglow

     Gregory Neville

in your bright beacon
mountains glow, water glistens
half of your shadow

two lovers kissing
single ring unites their hearts
only one exists

     Mary Lenore Quigley

Cherry on the moon
I’m flying in a flash
She is in love

Silky Petals
I want to feel your body
lost in lust

     Samuele Bagnai

mysterious as a full moon
I close my eyes and wonder
will there be cherries?

     Viktoria Rusnikova

hunger is painful
my next meal awaits, somewhere
by moonlight I hunt

I do not know fear
I won the night, mine only
you should not be here
You, so much bigger than I
just eat me, bon appetit

     Ray Thomson

against a full moon
exquisite cherry blossoms
eternal beauty

full moon so pristine
always beckoning mankind
Neil Armstrong, how dare you?

     Kathy Lundy Derengowski
a fat yellow cat
holding a rat in its paw
squeaking stops abruptly

     Jedd

one small step for mouse
one giant leap for feline
so who needs rockets?

     Robert Thomas Lundy

he barks all the time
he widdles on the carpets
yet I am confined


     Robert Thomas Lundy
sea contemplations
silhouettes and blue shadows
dissolving the self

     Linda Grieschel

I longed for friends to come
sad to say, I played host to
the moon and my shadow

     Casey Derengowski

          1
posed in flowing robes
night teases us with her stars
ah! cloud kimono

          2
dancer stops for breath
dress still whirls around her
one shy toe peeks out

          3
black hair sparks with stars
blue folds and wraps around her
pale moon glowing softly

     Joanne Sharp

cross-eyed with anger
besot with ceremony
family controller

no sign of blossoms
overwhelming attitude
cherry pits galore

sullen attitude
belies traditional costume
he’s not who he seems

     Roger Renstrom

He spoke of marriage
I stay geisha – with a dog
not so lonely

     Bonnie Rosecliffe

Small dog brings peace
rubs shining red silk woman
artifice can fade

     Maura Harvey
rat pack samurai
going out at night to slay
the rodent Shogun


     Delise Vann
      Batman and Robin
should have been more respectful
when they met that witch


     Robert Thomas Lundy
