a coruscation
of moonlight across the dark sea—
election results
Sydney Solis, Florida
My sandwich vanishes—
A kite flies away
Into the autumn sky
Hiyori Nakao, Kyoto Univ.
Crossing Sanjo Bridge
white hilltops in the distance
he blows on his hands
Peter MacIntosh, Kyoto
pause in the traffic…
the pop of monsoon raindrops
on the road
K. Ramesh, Tamil Nadu
thick webs
in between the branches
gardener’s long leave
Lakshmi Iyer, Kerala
mud pies…
what could smell better
than a handful of earth?
Ingrid Baluchi, North Macedonia
After the rain
falling on my shoulder now…
gingko leaves
Takumi Harada, Ryukoku Univ.
on New Year’s Day
the twinkling stars descend
down the shore
I lit the lamps of hope
erasing grief’s shadow

May we add Kathmandu (as place of residence) after your name, please, or do you live somewhere else? Though we are all linked on internet, people often express an interest in where the submissions originate. If you do not mind, please inform. If you do mind, tell us so, and no place of composition will be added.
Thank you, Tito, I am from India. You may please add my country name.
Regards
Pravat Kumar Padhy, India
Which state, please?
