Dragonflies - Jim Burns

Dragonflies hover 

kissing the lips of the pond

but it saddens me

that before their kiss is felt 

they are gone to another.

Written by Jim Burns

Indiana born and bred

lives in Florida

will write poetry or prose 

however the mood might strike.

Upreach - Louis Faber

The reeds reach upward

dreaming they are green rice shoots

slowly turning gold

in the sight of the sun lit smile

cast by old Fujiyama.

Louis Faber is a widely published poet living in Florida with his wife and his cat (his editor, she claims).
