Bistro Memories by P.J.Reed
Bistro Memories by P.J.Reed The bistro bubbled Glowed and sang Tall necked glasses Chimed as one. Sunshine faces Giggled loudly Moonlight danced Around the floor Waitresses glide By cluttered tables Red lips bursting: Berry flavoured promises Caught your vacant eye The wine arrived As your heart left, Flew across the floor Hot face flickered Watched […]
Bicycle Ride by Pat Mullan

Autumn by P. K. Page
Whoever has no house now will never have one. Whoever is alone will stay alone Will sit, read, write long letters through the evening And wander on the boulevards, up and down… ; from Autumn Day, Rainer Maria Rilke Its stain is everywhere. The sharpening air of late afternoon is now the colour of tea. […]
And Then It Rained by Pamela Griffiths

Alameda by Paul Blackburn

After Rain by P. K. Page
The snails have made a garden of green lace: broderie anglaise from the cabbages, chantilly from the choux-fleurs, tiny veils- I see already that I lift the blind upon a woman’s wardrobe of the mind. Such female whimsy floats about me like a kind of tulle, a flimsy mesh, while feet in gumboots pace the […]
Advent by Patrick Kavanagh
Advent by Patrick Kavanagh We have tested and tasted too much, lover- Through a chink too wide there comes in no wonder.

Adolescence by P. K. Page

When the universe speaks by Preeth Nambiar
With the anklets’ jingling bells the naughty streams play hide and seek. Upon the woods, looking at her growing young- with paces slow holding hands with her eternal love- a flow of tranquility toward a world to fetch the love of an eternal quest.

WATER LILLIES AND ADVICE by PEGGY AYLSWORTH
WATER LILLIES AND ADVICE by PEGGY AYLSWORTH Yellow, faithful in petals, bouncing from intended green, a surround, stemming toward the sun. How the eye obeys its given limits, as the curve of leaf designs its own exactness. What link informs another? Beware the lays of magic, Chaucer told his son, Lowys. Consult the astrolabe when […]
Waking up on a rainy morning by Preeth Nambiar
Knocking at the window to wake me up! From amidst the letters scribbled last night, My eyes open to a gloomy rainy day!

To Double Lock by Pierre Reverdy

The way aboard by Preeth Nambiar
The flow of relatives has reduced and I am much comfortable for I do not have to hear those consoling words that multiply the pain and suffering.

The Survivor by Primo Levi
The Survivor by Primo Levi Once more he sees his companions’ faces Livid in the first faint light, Gray with cement dust, Nebulous in the mist, Tinged with death in their uneasy sleep.

The Fragrance of life by Preeth Nambiar

Summer by Pornika Ganguly
The season which children love, The season of relaxations, The season where none but children, Are filled with exultations. Summer comes with boxes of ice-creams, Cartons of cola, Lots of sherbet, And icy golas. Children run and jump about, And adults sit and wipe their brow, It’s especially hard to cope with kids Unless you […]
