Going Inwards by Paul Tristram
I went off Searching for… ‘Far Away’… and found it … in your ‘Breadcrumbing’ … smiling sadly, I disappeared, before you’d even looked around… Returning back to… ‘Significance’. You ‘Find Yourself’ the very moment that you STOP Following … and Accept your Human Flaws … as part of Life’s Journey……

Cold Candles by Kushal Poddar
Cold walks on the leaves. We listen to the stars of that noise, cannot stay awake, cannot sleep. The late-night Gods and demons converse. We cannot choose one and ignore the other. We listen. Colds walks but doesn’t progress. The candles born for the prayer night mould themselves into another…

WHILE I CONTINUE TO REMAIN by Jeffrey Zable

Good Intentions by Tina Hudak
To do good in the world is what I planned. To own a funky apartment in New York City with busy streets. To strut those city sidewalks below while wearing fashionable clothing even into old age. To be a savvy lawyer getting it right, for those who could not. Finding justice…

A Christmas Soliloquy by Lauren Scott
The noble fir smells heavenly Pervading throughout the room Lights twinkle in red and green Adding to its festive costume. Stockings embellish the mantel Eager to be filled with treats Garland graces letters in gold Spelling out P.E.A.C.E. Dangling to model icicles, White lights sparkle on eaves Ornaments shimmer on…

Go Ask The Crow by Kushal Poddar
By the time the first crow pushes its cawing into my ears the crumbs of the morning is already scattered on my carpet. Today we’ll vacuum the hollowness. While cleaning my burrows I always sink in my sneezes. I am allergic to dust and to the procedure of hush their …

Father Christmas by Lynn White
I was so excited. It was nearly Christmas and I was going to meet Father Christmas himself. I was so excited, wearing my best coat and bonnet, hopping from one foot to the other in the long queue of children waiting with their mums to be allowed into Santa’s Grotto.…

Walking Through the Forest at Night By Gopal Lahiri
Opening and closing my hands in tandem I carry the silence in this forest path. Night comes like the player’s spiked shoes and enable me to unclutter myself. The moon meanwhile watches with her pale weedy eyes with rare possibles. Where should I go? I don’t have any city to…
