First Snow By Dawn Mclachlan That night I watched the snow falling like feathers and dreamed of torn angels In the light of morning the children came to throw themselves into the white falling into the breathless silence between the tumble and the tears

A poem written in white lettering against a black background. The poem reads valley green once blackened scar dragon back breath smokes the salacious sky the town’s eye jar

Ever heard of an Englyn Byr Cwca? It’s form of traditional Welsh poetry - a short, strict-meter stanza characterised by precise syllable counts and intricate rhyming patterns.

Here’s my first attempt from last year.

All the energy once flowing
Now sapped into the gray.

The words crowd in my head
Frantic, spinning, unrelated.
Thus works my brain.

A moment's sleep
For a night awake.

It is splended! My sincere gratitude to Editor Rowan Beckett Minor and Co-editor Kelly Sargent for including three of my pieces. Congratulations to all the poets.

Keep smiling

My fingers have been smashed
Keep smiling

Blood drips from my hands
Keep smiling
Keep smiling

Can’t you see me
That girl is long dead
You’ve already lost a daughter
Are you trying to lose a son

Colonized
Beaten
Lost
Missing
The children of the land
Tears of loss.

Sorry folks, struggling tonight.

Rapture
The one day I could be gone
Sadly still here.

Seeking the ways of my ancestors
Buried beneath the years
Hidden by those who fear
The fire and wisdom of Ancients.

i built a hammock
between two forests
a sunlit interim
speckled with wildflowers
& daydreams of freedom
a laughing Buddha moon
