Yellows, orange, Taking your breath away, The brisk cool air refreshes the soul, Tranquility, Clearing the mind, Ferns scatter across the ground, The vibrant colors were all that were seen, Magical canopies of color, Overhead leaves fill the forest with nature’s rainbow, Under foot they crunch, Mesmerized by the beauty, Autumn in the Appalachian Mountains. … Continue reading Appalachian Autumn – Poem by Lola Hornof

No One Knows the Way to See Each Other – Poem by Eduardo Escalante
A digital devil is among us, inserted himself into the gaps between our looks, It creates a bulb of silence and a severe distance. We do not see people Picking flowers in the evening or seeing sleeping sons in the other room.

Soul Speak – Poem by Debra Sherman
He seemed to me familiar, even though at first unknown. Quite common on the surface, not quite lonely, yet alone. I felt a forceful stirring, yet I didn’t know just why.
