  • Gilbert, Mark

    reading poetry
    all that white space
    in the clouds

     

    funeral
    the cries of polished shoes
    on polished linoleum

     

    April morning
    in the dream
    I had a daughter

  • Gilfillan, Mark


    night train
    the brief lives of others
    come and gone


    dark room
    trapped in the camera
    the five lost haiku


    back home
    the reassuring rumble
    of the kettle

     

  • Hawkhead, John

    evening breeze
    winding through war graves
    the scent of mown grass

  • Iliyana Stoyanova

    tombstone in moss
    inside the dewdrop
    she almost smiles

  • Iliyana Stoyanova

    understanding the rose strikes a pose

     

    dad's memories with my name for a different me

  • Iliyana Stoyanova


    ghost town…
    sakura blossoms
    flutter in the breeze

    Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival, 2020 (Honourable Mention)

  • Iliyana Stoyanova


    so bright
    this lonely birdsong
    the moon keeps quiet
    amidst the branches
    of the cherry tree

  • Jim Sussex

    My brave terrier
    regresses into pup -
    thunderstorm

     

  • Kelly, David J.

    cheeky monkey fist not on your nelly

     

    leap second the further sound of water

  • Kelly, David J.

    Christmas pudding
    flambéed to oblivion
    the archangel’s share

     


    soft hair
    for information loss
    a conditioner

     

  • Lucy Whitehead

    a flock
    of starlings expanding
    the limits of my life

     

    first buds
    on the almond tree
    the baby's almost-words

  • Marilyn Ward


    night rain
    the steady drip
    of morphine

     

    early spring
    i bat your pillow
    into new shapes

     

  • Maureen Edden

    the weight
    of winter... a world
    of one colour

     

  • Meera Rehm


    revolving restaurant
      the moon playing
           peekaboo


  • Robert Kingston

    not yet spring
    the neighbour’s ball still
    in the garden

  • Roger Watson

    in a flash
    one hawk
    no squirrel

     

    Genovese cafe
    all conversations
    public

     

    rush hour metro
    someone
    had garlic

    the pigeon
    changing trees

  • Shalini Sunkuru

    trembling winter . . .
    a cup of coffee for
    solace
     

    lulling breeze . . .
    the chanting at this
    hilltop shrine
     

    changing seasons . . .
    colours splash into thoughts...  
    poet’s weave
     

    cloudy seas . . .
    the airplane window        
    reveals heaven?  

    sultry noon
    a Mango falls from the
    roadside tree -
