Spirit: A Riddle
written by: Matthew Guertin
 

Going out, I remain,
and in remaining, I go out.
For I travel over waters and skies,
clouds and pined mountains,
and in traveling I gather together
into the rooms of my home,

Anatomy of a Poet, or This Old House

falling away in the sun
like ash ‘round my feet

windows cloud n warp

SHE
written by: Giuliana Ravaglia
 

She on the threshold - virgin and giddiness-
tall comet, diamond-like gaze

a strange dress rose up her hip
bold fretwork of black velvet
like a lily on her white breast

Just One More
written by: Leigh Cuthbert
 
I drink to be social.
I’m a happy drunk—
life of the party.
Maybe one to relax
after a hard day.
I deserve a treat.
Everyone will be there—
it will be fun.
What else would I be doing? #WritingCommunity #Fiction #Spillwords #Literature #Poetry

Horizon
written by: Anahit Arustamyan
 

Which bird's quill was a pen and drank from the inkpot to write a song?
I wonder if you saved the quill or gave it back to a crane or a dove.
You might hear my earthly talk.

Magical Island

From spring, Hokkaido
attracts Tourists by its beauty,
they treasure it all.

The Cranes sing and dance,
find a mate to rear a chick,
then leave for a year.

From the start, every dream

Longing
written by: Shoshana Vegh
 

She measures the duration of longing
Pulls the threads from the ball of wool
They always intertwine
It is always complicated
This is a knot that has no beginning

Love's Cruelest Tax

Capture that smile, one more time
Before the

Takes it from us

Hug, like there is no

Because
For her there isn’t

Hunt it down

The First Fallen Leaf
written by: Phyllis P. Colucci
 

I found myself sitting on the old
wooden park bench
In my old quaint neighborhood
Peering through oversized sunglasses
and sipping a mocha latte,

Muscle Memory
written by: T. Novak
 

I often wonder if my hands look the same as my grandmother’s,
and her mother’s mother’s,

I see it in my mother’s writing, the way she writes her “H,”

on this July summer night
I see you there in the sky
where you are not supposed to be
what happened for you to go there
why are you needed so soon
all I can do is wonder

Smoke may be white,
But so are clouds -
Soft like pies
With stars your lovers
Cast no shade,
Their lies will fade...
You’re never late

Lone Path

Are you brave?
Are you mad?
What made you
Choose the lone path?
Entire herd going one way

Grief is the house the ocean left behind—
walls salted, floorboards swollen,
air still humming with the memory of waves
