Dark brown-red berries
burst from limbs of orange leaves~

Salmon hues at dusk

Tight high pitched strumming
plays the deep triumph of morn’~

Chiming little bells,
winter draped in silver gown

Hema Saju says
Snowflakes on leaves
silence crackle, embers heave
music in the air.
A bee trapped
out on a spree, stilled the clamour.
Silence, nobody speaks.
Faces aghast, lights on
Creek! the door opens, chill.
out flies the bee.
Embers surge, music flows
masked smiles in censured lips
hearts thank, Alive!

The night raven caws
Calling its sinister tune
In the pin-pricked night
The silver moon still
Hanging suspended in the
Night, singing to wolves
The placid calm pond
Beneath the Raven’s tree perch
Lies ever-still neath’ moons
The raven flies off
Snow falling from its branch perch
As the raven soars
Anonymous Poet says
Thanksgiving is the
Hid family of Christmas
Sad, lonely, and ignored- Overlooked by Anonymous Poet
Esha Sharan says
Abandoned stone left-
The ripples in the still lake-
Shuffling through my thoughts
The rushing small feet
Froze before the puddles, jump
Melting monsoon sky
With gusting of wind
Aroma of the dinner
A raven head home
A butterfly crossed…
The stream held her reflection
Metamorphosis
Cow ruminated
Beneath the sanguine west sky
When I sat to write
Again, nameless birds
Migrated to my clear sky
To leave memories
