Wonder Poems
"No Trespassing"
by Miguel Hernandez
Light slithers through branches, leaves
fleeting fingerprints on the tree,
as early spring arrives, but
stacks of odd
saxifrage
gives an angle
of approaching winter.
Pissing on twigs and rubbish,
a gate nearby is open, leading

I See The Sun
by Pijush Biswas
I see the sun run over the sea, later set
Below the horizon of Bay of Bengal, every evening
And the sea I see threat
The boys and girls, and sing
Whimsically, 'O, I'm now giant, be alert';
So they go apart.
I see the sun run over the meadow, later hide
Behind the trees of beautiful Bengal, every evening
And the meadow I see bid

If I Stay
by Raina Hutchins
If I stay will you hold me
And comfort me through my tears
If I go will you miss me
And live with regret through the years
If I stay will you kiss me
With the passion you used to show
If I go will you let me
Be someone you used to know

This is Love
by Stephen Host
I used to hold her hand at night
Roll over in bed and take her hand in mine and think "This is love - it must be because I want to hold her hand while she sleeps"
In the evening or at night she would tell me about things that stabbed her and made her hard or even mean and I would cry inside but think "This is love - it must be because my heart breaks for her while she speaks"
One night, I was far away
And I was the one that had been stabbed and wanted to talk to her before I became hard and mean
It was too late
She was bloody gristle with nothing to offer
Not even a kind word

Wisdom from the Mouths of Monsters
by Alex Rose
If monsters have mouths
Then what do they spout?
Is it truth that rebounds
Through their teeth?
If monsters have lungs
That means that they've sung
All the songs that one hears
In the deep.

The Wonder Boys
by Michael R. Burch
(for Leslie Mellichamp, the late editor of The Lyric,

The Storm
by B4 n/a
clouds rain
eyes strain
through liquid lines on window pane
lines arc
mind sparks
seeking secrets in the dark
clock ticks
thoughts flick
philosopher to lunatic
booms crack

Reflections
by B4 n/a
I broke a mirror the other day.
It shattered me, but I was fine.
For the me that I saw on display
Was just an I from another time.
Have you ever really wondered?
by Pilgrim Roy
Have you ever really wondered?
Stopped your busyness and pondered,
and taken the time to work out,
what Christmas is really all about?
Why all the Christmas decorations
and hard work and preparations?
Why do we give out the presents
if Christmas is only a pretence?
