Crescit Eundo by Gary Glauber New Mexico caressed me under thin covers, lured me with temperate clime and spicy cuisine, with tales of mystical angel visits and prettily crafted wares. Enchantment was the first kiss. I embraced her carefully, red sun on field of yellow, aware of what some consider sacred and fickle behavior, backContinue reading “Crescit Eundo by Gary Glauber”

Clochán an Aifir by Robert Lima
Clochán an Aifir by Robert Lima Up north, abiding by the Irish-Scottish Sea of Moyle on long-stretched land that’s curved along a cove, the tides pay homage to huge basaltic stones on land that form a roadway from the cliffs into the sea, their multi-side hexagons and other varied shapes, having a dark sheen, brilliantContinue reading “Clochán an Aifir by Robert Lima”

We Have Traveled Here by Andrena Zawinski
We Have Traveled Here Le Tréport de la Mer, Normandie by Andrena Zawinski All along the line these villages blossom with poppies, sheep and ponies graze backyards, the cows are down for rain.

In the throats of hibiscus and oleander I’d see them clustered yellow, blue, their shells enameled hard as the sky before the rain. All thatContinue reading “Insect Life of Florida by Lynda Hull”
In Bayfield by Kenneth Pobo
In Bayfield by Kenneth Pobo The sun trips over a red rock and breaks. The Madeline Island ferry carries dusk shards. At night Bayfield shines little lights on Lake Superior. The town closes down. Wind makes me shiver even in June. The Lake is like my Aunt Stokesia, chilly even in summer, strong in anyContinue reading “In Bayfield by Kenneth Pobo”
