Bicycle Ride by Pat Mullan

Autumn by P. K. Page
Whoever has no house now will never have one.

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

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.
