Land and sea when angels fall. ________________________________ I did not fall to call your pain, or break ones heart so soft again, I felt such love within no doubt Like heavens precious rain A magical voice I heard by ear, and eye to dwell a lonely tear, to touch the pages of your words Bought … Continue reading Poems by Nardine Sanderson
Poems by Paweł Markiewicz
The victory ode to the dreamy peace My poesy is for you - peace - invocation that enchanted peaceful birds at adoration. The peace as ghost needs also become a lily. My fire for the sake of the peace flies blissfully. I like valedictorians from Ivory coast, carrying a weird of peace such a druidic … Continue reading Poems by Paweł Markiewicz
Poems by Ann Christine Tabaka
Garment of Pain Trying to forget pain sewn into the hem of my life, with stitches straight and precise. No scissor can cut me free. Adamantine thread of dolor, pulled tight, knotted and tucked deftly. Perfect garment of malaise, worn without a thought of redemption. Cold truth filtrates through loose woven cloth. Frayed edges … Continue reading Poems by Ann Christine Tabaka

The Untranslatable: Viitsima
By Thomas Page The Untranslatable This is a series of poems of words that do not directly translate into English. I have tried to capture the essence of the word in a poem.

Poems by Stephen Kingsnorth
Inhibitors When they die I truly live, inhibitors put in their place, reveal the well wrapped, buttoned me. The sunshine strip has sloughed the outer layers off, factor eight, nine or ten cannot protect from running blood. Your distress, your unease, is at honesty, not my disease. What a dangerous globe it is when … Continue reading Poems by Stephen Kingsnorth

THE SAME PRIVACY These I saw: small onions laid with their root discs punctuating the longitude poles. Polar caps, yes, navels to the earth where their buried unions still hold. That space along the stalls, unpeopled on this damp morning, stops me (for it insists), with the white parking lines leaping to the … Continue reading Poems by Phoebe Marrall
Life Mystery
By John Goodie Can you hear the trees as they grow Or see the bees make combs of honey? Can you touch the thunder of a cloud Or smell the wonder in a child’s fresh mind Can you see when death might visit Or taste the beast when he gets near? Can you smell the … Continue reading Life Mystery
Poems by Andrew Scott
Fenced In (Poverty Row) I have been here in this part of town since the day I started to have memories. I do not remember the day it was, just the picture and words in my head. Not too much has changed here in this weathered, rusted trailer town. The trees have earned … Continue reading Poems by Andrew Scott
