waterfall ... 
a distant echo
of her anklets

crystal waterfall
we climb
through smoke and rainbows

forest lake
my heartbeat faster
than her breaststroke

 Ernest Wit - Poland
 

without
a sound
no-see-ums

Jeff Hoagland- USA
 

getting a word
in edgewise
katydids

daisy chain 
the broken links 
between us

 Tracy Davidson - UK
 

day lilies
folded for the night
the two year old

heat wave
the old man shakes his cane
at no one

 Bob Lucky - Ethiopia
 

the catbird
flashes his red rump –
summer dawn

Ruth Holzer - USA
 

beneath sweet woodruff
telos of a rippling
thousand legger

 Patrick Sweeney - Japan
 

August heat
five people in the shade
of a traffic pole

Bruce England – USA

 

the wind is lifting
glass dust into
eyes
