Find us in the starry light by H.E. Grahame

Find us in the starry light
-a villanelle
 
Find us in the starry light
Spinning dolce lullaby
Waltzing in the inky night
 
A Mambo through black and white
Like fireworks in July
Find us in the starry light
 
Plies in golden spotlight
To symphonies in the sky
Waltzing in the inky night
 
A Pas de Deux in flight
Like a cosmic butterfly
Find us in the starry light
 
Pirouettes in black midnight
to an orchestra on high
Waltzing in the inky night
 
Spinning like a satellite
With this song of “you and I”
Find us in the starry light
Waltzing in the inky night

Listening to Words by Mona Mehas

Listening to words out of touch cross lily pads, one to the next my rules, a tiny picture frame debt of honor, repay the gift. Headlights illuminate the path listening

Blooming by Elizabeth Gade

Some days are easy and some days are exhausting the days you have to dig through the muck inside take more hits than a heavyweight prize fighter cling to life

Pomegranate Rose by Laura Peña

I want to feed this delicacy To my concubine A tiny spoonful at a time I want to watch the luscious sorbet Linger on the tip of her tongue Melt
