The body is discovered,
       limp and bloody ball of ragged feathers,
              red breast dulled,     claw torn.

Rooks are sent to carry out
       a beak-tip search of nearby fields,
              but nothing’s found.


There are no suspects

       there are no clues

              there’s no direction

                               only talk
                                          and the killer
                                           gloats
     as generalis-ations
              force out knowledge

A picture of the shore of Passau, Bavaria, in autumn, taken from a cruise ship on the Danube. The trees have the classic golden browns of fall foliage. There is a bright orange life preserver in the foreground creating a bright orange counterpoint. A haiku/senryu that reads:

"tossed on a stormy sea,
latch onto a life preserver...
haiku saves those in need"

Under a sky where silver starlight streams,
We sit in silence, wrapped in quiet dreams.
Your hand in mine, the world feels far away,
As night unfolds what words could never say

Realise all rings
Can turn bonds into bondage
Once you understand
Rings are just links in a chain
“Gifts” start to look strange

Upon your finger
Stains of old love still remain.
Regretfully, the
Ring’s shadow reminds us of
Oaths we tried to keep.

I stand here adorned.
Rings wrapped round wrists and ankles
Manacles, they said.
They dig into seasoned flesh
Who knows what comes next?

            they offered immortality to me,
                      but not to you
                                                                                       (so not by merit

                              I turned them down.

                                                how could I face the endless years
                                       of meeting the beginnings of new joys
                                                                   that dried to dust
                                                           the moment that I turned
                                                     to share them all,
                                     and you not there?

REMEMORY by Danielle Grace


Between them, blinks go by
I consider them before I lie
—maybe not, then cry

Whatever shall I wear?
How should I style my hair?
—or what should I procure, if bare?

From some, consequences scatter
Even the tiniest ones matter
—in a tapestry or batter

Big ones decide fate of others
Yes or noes may gather lovers
—depending upon one's druthers

Ultimately it is our choices
That quantify remembered voices
—consider them more carefully.

Soft rain falls on petals, quiet and slow,
Waking the colors that longed to glow,
Like love that grows when gently cared,
Blooming in hearts once dry and bare.

	graft from “Greek Orthodox” John Betjeman
	in A Nip in the Air (John Murray, 1974)


	in the beginning was the explanation,
                                       though the explanation was odd.
                                                         now, in this little whitewashed building,
                                                                            a mystery is chanted,
                                                obfuscation in a cloud of incense,
                                   solemn faces peering from their masks
                                                       of gold and silver
                                                                  at the dim, cool goings on.
                             outside, 
                   the painted boats rock empty by the quay,
                                    straw-seated chairs and battered tables
                                                          slowly fade and blister
                                               in the August sun,
                                       while thyme- and sage-sharp air
                               sits still upon the hillside,
                        rippled by the heat,
               vibrated by the bells on sheep and goats
                                         who tear at dusty clumps of grass,
                                                      and contemplate
                                                the meaning of it all.

Starry skies illuminate
the poetic pen's journey,
vibrant river of words
travels pensively,
stirring creativity
expressing myriad insights,
gentle verses bloom
tranquil poetry offers
profound solace.

Eject errant effluent

Mental refuse presented

Illuminated by dim
Candlelight felt so
Foreign as she manoeuvred
A pen through the light

Sashay across the loose leaf
Revealing to us
Deliciously devious

A rose once bloomed beneath the fading light,
As dusk embraced the sky in amber glow,
Its petals held the whispers of our nights,
Where love now lingers only in echoes.

A poem "Outrage" by Robert Emond. 

"Outraged at injustice I railed against the government. 
Outraged at unfairness I railed against society. 
Outraged at stupidity I railed against humanity. 
Outraged at negativity my body and soul gave out. 
Outrageous as it seems my outrage has evaporated. 
Out of rage now I strive to live in serenity."
