Alone No More

alone
at peace
        rushing water

-- BM

The calm
of enjoying nature

-- AP

I sit . . .
not judging
just listening

-- TD

I close my eyes
and breathe in the universe

-- MKL

lunar eclipse
I briskly blink
and miss it

-- MM

I paint a blank canvas
trying to capture beauty

-- GLM

eye of the beholder
the women grins
no teeth

-- MM

her gaze
piercing my heart

-- MKL

She chuckles
like a hyena
I chuckle nervously

-- TD

I don't know
what to expect

-- AP

scared
I wonder where
she came from

-- BM

an alien
from another planet

-- AT

It says it
comes
from one of Jupiter's moons

-- AP

yet to discover
life on Earth

-- MK

Martians don't enjoy
marshmallows . . .
remember this

-- GLM

they travel the universe
waiting for the time to strike

-- KF

cherry blossoms
on every hill
peace on Earth

-- RMB

picking up a pink petal
the wind takes it away

-- MD
