By Thomas Page Endings either come too soon or too late. The theatergoers itching to move Watching the actor butcher the iamb times five; The shoe on the gas-pedal rolling the ankle With the hand primed on the horn; The pilgrims waiting for the pilgrimage to end So that they can lay their head on … Continue reading Alphabets: Omega
Autumn
By Kimber Annie It peaked around the corner at me this morning then like a friendly ghost it hid. The friendly part is my favorite. The haunting part, not so much. I did feel it. It was there. I know it’s coming back and it’s coming back to stay, at least for a few months … Continue reading Autumn
Out-and-out
By Mark Andrew Heathcote 06/07/2019 I have followed you beneath a blanket of stars Till it was—all-the-lights went out. And, was wondering when they would shine again. In what tangled wood, in what absolute Would we unfold to touch the hem of this universe? Be sucked … Continue reading Out-and-out
Alchemy of Imagination
By Welkin Siskin It is somewhat a reflection of mind, this labyrinth of thin-to-thick idea sort out as the remedy from within the to-and-fro counteraction of active thoughts.

Poems by Anahit Arustamyan
HEY,WHO IS THERE? I will leave just nothing behind. Where am I going like a Gypsy cart? I need a way, remote and wide. ''Hey, who is there?'' I call out with my silent tongue.
