Quatrain Poems
Lavishly Lavender
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
The twilight world is a different place,
Replete with richest and unlikeliest colors,
The calm beauty of evening has such grace,
Until all is veiled under night's dark covers.
This evening's sky is heart stopping lavender,
With touches of gold near the far horizon,
The world paused for mirror dreamland luster,
As sky, sea and land, share one hue in common.

It Seems Like Ages
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
In happier days not so long ago,
It was the prettiest peach on the tree;
But the sun has gone and everyone's left,
Now only traces of the memory.
It was so plump, red orange and gold,
And reveled in its heyday of the sun,
But now sits here alone shriveled and dry,
On a pantry shelf, unseen by anyone.

Moonlight is Waiting
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
In the almond trees down on Clear Lake farm,
A picnic between the rows, on grasses green,
And pink blossoms play in the carefree breeze,
With backdrop of blue skies and clouds of cream.
Lost to each other and the golden afternoon,
While the sun drifts past in search of forever,
As hued birds joyously chirp their serenade,
Pale moonlight awaits its nightly endeavor!
Fading Faith I
by A.F. Sh
Was it you I saw in my ethereal dream?
Or was it a nightmare, haunted by my nightly fiend?
Was it you I worshipped at that broken shrine?
Or was it the devil, saying: "Leave! What is rightly mine."?
Die and Let Die
by A.F. Sh
That heartbeat I heard, so miserably yearned–
An ear so desperate, melancholic and afeared;
Absurdity it stirred, conferred my eyes blurred–
Adversity! So perilously longing for the end ...
The Wind On The Ledge
by Chloe Foster
The wind scatters her hair,
The fragile fabric of her shirt clings to her back.
The wind attempts to push her forward,
As her crowded and crammed mind begins to retract.
Trapped in a memory,
Existing in the exhausting grasp of the past,
Her world; wrapped up in a few moments,
A box of trauma and pain that has yet to pass.

December Light
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
In frostiness of December, crystal snowflakes enthrall,
It's a month I long remember, coming after colors fall,
A season of love and magic, when hope's everywhere,
As vivid lights and twinkling stars, together fill the air!
Die and Let Die
by A.F. Sh
That heartbeat I heard, so miserably yearned–
An ear so desperate, melancholic and afeared;
Absurdity it stirred, conferred my eyes blurred–
Adversity! So perilously longing for the end ...
Fading Faith II
by A.F. Sh
Wicked relief, he grieved, as he felt it leave,
'Tis his cross to bear, one cannot make him b'lieve.
In the mirror he stood, frigid, no longer chained,
A soul divided in two, one outcast; both renegade —
Fading Faith I
by A.F. Sh
Was it you I saw in my ethereal dream?
Or was it a nightmare, haunted by my nightly fiend?
Was it you I worshipped at that broken shrine?
Or was it the devil, saying: "Leave! What is rightly mine."?
