winter greenhouse glass
one butterfly still mistakes
its own reflection

Tanka by Manasa Reddy Chichili

morning mist rises
over the silent river
birds begin to sing
and somewhere beyond the hills
a new day opens its eyes

Haiku by Sarah Mahina Calvello

Stretches of silence
City of walls and secrets
Empty apartments

we too reach in, through,
out of the forests of time –
we are its branches

would lighten her heart’s burden.
Render the lyrics.

Fantasies come true
Focusing on new ideas
Follow the parade

Feast for the palette
Varying combinations
International

her daughter’s room still unchanged
bright with winter light

Haiku by Charlie Coleman

Tunnel’s end looming.
Despite pontificating,
No-one knows what’s there.

her last piece of the puzzle
under the carpet
