Impressions
by Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu
Night,
and every pulse held in-between hands!

As all naturals and celestial
My spirit sneaked into the artificial garb

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
