the sieve and the sand

Leaving the wheat with the chaff. This is not your mother’s poetry.

a moment of clarity

by Julio Chapluzki

in the pushing, pull,
thoughtsfearsapprehensions fade;
straining clears the mind

Cup O’Noodle

by Julio Chapluzki

with a stolen spoon,
not cleaned from last time,
noodle-iscious attack!

Playing Fetch

by Julio Chapluzki

Constantly bounding
back and forth and back,
doggy style i live and breathe.

end of summer haiku

by rcribay

dessicated grass
sends up dust when mowed;
the heat wilts leaves.

Continental Divide

by Julio Chapluzki

Like a drop of rain,
eastward I flowed;
irresistible current.

haiku

by rcribay

in the grass
amid shards of glass:
amaranth.

haiku

by Julio Chapluzki

one cause leads to the effect:
like coffee to poo;
like me loving you.

haiku

by rcribay

a cold breeze
rustles new oak leaves:
from somewhere the scent of lilacs.

haiku

by David X. Hugo

the rain makes oily
rainbows in the parking lot;
the empire’s facade.

haiku

by rcribay

sky suddenly darkening,
wind bending branches–
i wait for the rain.

haiku

by rcribay

walking past
petals on a wet, black bough;
Pound on my tongue.

haiku

by rcribay

in the courtyard, a tree,
heavy with blossoms–
a light rain begins.

not the usual “bad weed” stench on my block tonight

by joshuagrace

Overdue sweet smells-

Lylac and budding tree leaves

Refresh Kensington.

haiku

by rcribay

she runs ahead
umbrella-less in the rain;
over her shoulder, smiles.

smell the glove

by joshuagrace

Dewy grass, sunrise,

the swirling echoes plodding-

My brothers’ feet.

haiku

by rcribay

over your shoulder,
in the latticed window:
the first shock of forsythia.

cool spring morning

by Julio Chapluzki

still jacket weather
but painful no more;
let dreams of travel commence.

fish, greens, and rice

by larsalexander

some days lunch just tastes

so much better and you eat

gratitude ’til full

haiku

by Julio Chapluzki

after a long day,
it all goes away;
vitamin-c soaked vodka.

haiku

by rcribay

a patchwork of tracks
captured in dried mud–
spring hints.

trees

by David X. Hugo

i’m massive
and right now it’s good
this moment

vicis

by David X. Hugo

dead on feet
black holes filled with
lolli-pops

haiku

by rcribay

splash-
the cat dives in
the pool of light.

haiku

by rcribay

deep winter morning-
an empty chair
on a fire escape landing.

haiku

by rcribay

on the wet sidewalk
a crumpled umbrella:
was it yours?

november 1

by rcribay

sober morning sun
illumines the recycling bin:
a robot’s torso.

Star-ku

by beighartman

Infinity stretches
Lonely winter sky sparkles
Eternity smiles

haiku

by rcribay

in this darkened room
behind your silhouette
leaves fall yellow and heavy.

Coo-Ku

by beighartman

About to lose my mind
Head spinning with unsaid words
Where did this go wrong?

Haiku

by beighartman

Dirt and dust sashay
Anonymous, gray harmony
Speckle the sunlight
