By Katja R. Philipp Mornings after Finding song In morning bird Where the sun radiates Inside & through The flower pedals move In dance A turn of neck Of elegance and glare The poet at loss for words For a world so rich and alive Turns to song Rhythms bespeak of ritual And ceremony is … Continue reading Out of Darkness
Loaned and Other Poems
By Stephen Kingsnorth Loaned Genetic tree, pooled influence, that xylem flow from roots beneath, the tap that feeds, mycorrhiza, gives fibre to our feeble deeds, hard graft applied where stock is tired - these masks and manes that launch our path. But nothing fixes final mould, though zeitgeist seeks to overlay; our choices set by … Continue reading Loaned and Other Poems
Stalls
Corey D. Cook I. The horses huddle in the snowy, wind-swept pasture as I make my way to the barn, trot in together when the door squeals open, only willing to part for buckets of grain and flakes of hay. I turn off the light and walk back to the house, hat pulled down, shoulders … Continue reading Stalls
A Ripple in Still Water

She cleaned, she cooked, she toiled, never stopping, They gave her rags while they wore silk and cotton, But then one day, … Continue reading Sole Mates

How I love to watch the weather … Continue reading Reminiscence
Human Tragedy and Other Poems
By Amirah Al Wassif Human Tragedy The holes that carved upon my forehead; Reveal how old am I My children had eaten their self From a very young age. I'm the mother Who peels the hours? With the patience's knife. Watching their severed heads Sparkling from upstairs Like stars. I am the mother, I shout … Continue reading Human Tragedy and Other Poems
Broken and Other Poems
By Andrew Scott Broken I feel you slithering around me as I lay here, shaking, broken. You only come around during these times when it is believed I am at the weakest. You and your other demons have been hoping for this moment. I should have expected you when the snap occurred and my bones … Continue reading Broken and Other Poems
