Full of protein
Crickets leap
And paw
Slaps!

by Agnes Krampe

The invisible conductor
raises
his magic wand.
Sounds swell. All musicians
in the cicada orchestra
play the tymbal.
Bats dance
to the firefly light show
against a backdrop
of cadmium blue.
Night...

Glowing Toad

Purple twilight darkens the day.
A green tree frog jumps embracing

Firefly

"FIREFLY"
Resolution Blue Redwood Ribbons
Campfire flames rise
Bluegrass ripples

Riding bareback
Unbridled
passion waves high
with her sweet-lipped
fast-talking
Grey Confederate Ghost
Tangled...

Beauty Lover
by Faye Gibson
Beauty lover, goodbye;
let the sad songs ring;
haunted, sunlit July
dips her blackened wing.
August scatters awry
flowers worshipping;
twilight’s single firefly
bathes in dewy cling.
Harvest apple supply
to fall branches cling;
sunshine...
