Selected Poems

1:1, December 2011 

the trill

of insects ... a sound

for every star

Peter Newton

light snow

our footprints

in the wind

Bill Kenney

rising

with the light

lilac breeze

Ann K. Schwader

one night

alone in the cold, fast river 

of an adult dream

I struggle to reach the shore 

with only grief to hold onto

Susan Constable

ephemera

even as it is spoken

the word fades...

for you, the symmetry

for me, the wings

Claire Everett

"One world at a time," 

Thoreau said

just before he died;

in the moonlight

I draw you close to me

Marian Olson 

by moonlight

through the screen window

my lover climbs

in the darkness

between the sheets

Hortensia Anderson
