The Sunlight On The Garden

by Louis Macneice

The sunlight on the garden
Hardens and grows cold,
We cannot cage the minute
Within its nets of gold;
When all is told
We cannot beg for pardon.

Our freedom as free lances
Advances towards its end;
The earth compels, upon it

Life

by Charlotte Brontë

LIFE, believe, is not a dream
So dark as sages say;
Oft a little morning rain
Foretells a pleasant day.
Sometimes there are clouds of gloom,
But these are transient all;
If the shower will make the roses bloom,
O why lament its fall ?

Rapidly, merrily,

The Months

by Sara Coleridge

January brings the snow,
makes our feet and fingers glow.

February brings the rain,
Thaws the frozen lake again.

March brings breezes loud and shrill,
stirs the dancing daffodil.

April brings the primrose sweet,

Summer Sun

by Robert Louis Stevenson

Great is the sun, and wide he goes
Through empty heaven with repose;
And in the blue and glowing days
More thick than rain he showers his rays.

Though closer still the blinds we pull
To keep the shady parlour cool,
Yet he will find a chink or two
To slip his golden fingers through.

Let America Be America Again

by Langston Hughes

Let America be America again.
Let it be the dream it used to be.
Let it be the pioneer on the plain
Seeking a home where he himself is free.

(America never was America to me.)

Let America be the dream the dreamers dreamed--
Let it be that great strong land of love
Where never kings connive nor tyrants scheme

Wet with Rain (Lustre of the Storm)

by Arvin Dassad

A fresh breath gusts—
Through emerald-grey skies,
Cool on flushed skin,
A moan caught in the pines.

Light pierces thick clouds
Like want through restraint,
Veins of lightning stroking the dark,
Slow, then sudden.

boulevard mirage

by Rikske Kessner

Unmoored, drifting— a face blurs
against window reflections, is it mine?
A stranger’s? No matter.

Streetlights flicker in shallow pools,
mirror-puddles swallowing neon, while a palm tree bends—
wind pressing, steel humming quiet.

Petals scatter, soft confetti
caught between tram rails, dissolving—

Along with the Thunder

by Ghairo Daniels

Along With The Thunder

Along with the Thunder
came Tempestas, goddess of storms
turtle doves scattered on
corrugated roof, grey feathers flying when glimpsing her fierce amber countenance
this is time of rattling cracked panes
loose screws
when weather ruled, seemingly profane
warmonger wind howls or laughs

Nothingness

by Ghairo Daniels

NOTHINGNESS

Spreading around in every
direction is wings of a
peacock
patterned
cherubs hug fresh
cherries
align with soul sounds
one point zero hertz
