Child Is by Caroline Skanne
Always missed,
Travelling back
To lost time
Barefoot,
And vulnerable
The Beat Goes On by Cara Lyne Ann Frame
So, you think that soulful Jazz has ended

What Mothers Teach by Trace Sheridan
I grab the phone just as it buzzes to hear my daughter crying hysterically.
After Shocks Of The Full Moon by Pat West
Monthly I cycle, crave food, indulge a feeding frenzy,
still feel starved. Hormones hang heavy upside down
like stalactites.
17 Days by Kriestienn M De Bruyne
There’s no way to describe how I’m feeling now,
Just that my heart is broken.
I Get to Snoring by Helen Krieger
There was a storm during my first flight, so strong it actually made me sick, which is hard to do. I was almost home now, but as I boarded the plane for the second time, my stomach felt like it was floating.

you drive the wrong way
down a one way street
travel highways
with no mile markers
Switchbacks by Patricia Wellingham-Jones

It’s funny,
the older I get
the more I check the time.

Abandoned Railroads by Patricia Wellingham-Jones
The lost wail of a whistle
eases over wild poppies,
rank grass between tracks.
Back to Jupiter by Elizabeth O’Reilly
Long car rides quiet the internal chatter. The unopened e-mails and unreturned phone messages slip from memory at the interstate on-ramp. These long trips often put you in the car at atypical times, when NPR is playing Wagner operas, prompting you to surf the stations and find that you still know the words to a song you haven’t heard in ten years.
Along the Way by Penny Luker
Along the way I fell in love
and although you’re not here
our journey’s been so special
and in my heart you’re near.
Finding My Way Across L.A. by Pat West
Summer of ’63 I took the red eye
out of O’Hare, arrived back at LAX
without a clue that city buses didn’t
connect that time of night.

They are in heaven
Way past the sky
Laughing and playing
Under God’s watchful eye
Musings by Silvi Saxena
Every Monday morning the man in the blue hat walks past our window. I often wonder whether his hat is glued to his head, as it never blows off, even in the dire weather that we must put up with.

I looked at the photograph again. It was yellowing round the edges and the image was less sharp than it used to be.
Underwater by Kathy Nguyen
You must have seen the bowl
of the sky underwater
when you dove right in
Still Rollin’ by Danielle Jackson
You need a driving license to ride my moods,
And ensure to attach an air bag just in case
I decided to crash straight into you.
