Repeating Colors
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
amber blooms on hills
and fluffy sheep in green grass
puffy clouds above
cobalt skies, blue lake
every day is tinged golden
red butterflies flit
raspberries are ripe
in the hour cardinal sings
......
Bougainvillea Bedazzle
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
cascades of color
creates fragrance enigma
bougainvillea
purple sun pastime
and lushness now has a name
sangria dawn fame
peach noon honey glazed
lends sparkle to cherry blooms

Rooftops
by Mario Odekerken
Over quiet roofs-
pigeons trace the city's breath,
Smoke curls into sky.
Tokyo 02
by Mario Odekerken
Neonregen valt-
tussen torens en tempels,
ademt de stilte.
Tokyo
by Mario Odekerken
Mensenstromen snel-
metro's zuchten ondergronds,
klokken jagen voort.
Bonsai
by Mario Odekerken
Stilte in de pot
wortels dansen traag en stil
tijd buigt in takken.
Pricelessness
by Somali Mukherjee
Each day is priceless;
We can treasure memories
Of both weal and woe.
