Pacific Daydream by Ken Allan Dronsfield

Pacific Daydream

Lofty Willows growing
    at the edge of the pond
        water buffalo graze
            among the fields of rice.

Cat birds cry in a breeze
    by grand banyan trees
        winds sway the grasses
            like long ocean waves.

Pheasant quickly dash
    to thickets for safer cover
        alone in the fields,
            I sit and watch the sky.

Grasses are now warm
    after a day spent in sunshine
        puffy clouds racing by
            heading off towards the sea.

Colorful butterflies dancing
    and dragonflies romancing
        banana now ready
            pineapple is looking fine.

Mango and papaya,
    my favorite tropical treat
        Full moon rises slowly,
            humming a twilight sonnet.

Gently in Nature by Michael Griffith

-
Gently in Nature I wish today's sunlight could last forever. Our sky a blue that can't be defined by a crayon's name. Neither can the amber of your hair - They're both found gently in nature. We witness the park's afternoon together, but details will shift in time's shaky embrace. You will correct me when I misremember the breed of the runaway dog we saw and the name of that deli where we bought those regrettable sandwiches when I tell our friends about this perfect picnic day, but for now all I want to focus on is that spark in your smile as you look up into my squinting-in-the-sun eyes, a spark of love found gently in your nature. BIO:   Michael Griffith began writing poetry while recovering from a life-changing injury. Poetry helped his mind and spirit stay healthy as his body healed. His poetry has recently appeared in Ripen the Page, Dual Coast Poetry, Poetry Quarterly, Degenerate Literature, the Starving P...

Grounded Angel By Desiree Cady

Grounded Angel By Desiree Cady The devil appeared Such an evil, dark one Told me his plan By the end I knew I was done. I had met a force Sure to break me down In a pool of my own blood I was sure to drown. He said, " You can't be this innocent, You can't be this sweet. I will deny you of your wings And you can join me below in my hellish heat." He proceeded to attack, Stripped me of my wings.. But I sensed God was present So I didn't feel a thing. He thought he had won As he took my weapons of flight But I fooled him..for even a broken winged angel Can still stand up and fight. (C)2016 Bio I am a 33 year old mother of two beautiful girls who have been my saving grace. After a brutal attack a few years ago, I have been plagued by PTSD. After the attack and a few suicide attempts, I vowed to tell my story and help inspire others to get help and to know that they are not alone.  I am currently wrapping up two manuscripts for public...
