Out In The Cold
written by: Stuart M. Klimek

Beneath an ebony blanketed sky
I opened my ears to the wondering why
And laid myself down in a frost covered vale
To find rest from my walk along a wearisome trail.
There I heard her whisper — the wintery wind,
Reciting her journey as a tale without end.
Her breath swept

I Woke A Vampire
written by: A.L. Paradiso

My throat is so sore in an odd way. Wait! It's not my throat; it's my neck. It's oddly swollen. Purple dawn skies say it's too early, yet I stumble out of bed, feeling the effects of the worst hangover of my life. Even my eyes ache. What did I do last night?

As I rinse my face, I

Fin De Año
written by: Jose Alfredo Silva

Fresco y alegre, el mes de Diciembre, se siente en el aire. Mes en el cual, con gran alegría, despedimos el ano, que está en su agonía.
La Navidad se acerca y el Año Nuevo también, trayendo con él, el fin del año presente.
Al mirarme al espejo, me pregunto,

Poetic Paralysis
written by: Robert W Kovacs

As a resident caretaker, I put together words with grace, But there are days, it’s just a strain, I pray and take my best gamble. I put my pen to my paper, But I stare at the voided space, Only waiting on my own brain, Taking its time to unscramble. At times, I wish to escape her,...

Patricia Drake
written by: Allison Gilliam

I was a tornado that Friday morning, jerking shirts off their hangers, pants out of drawers and into a duffel bag. I grabbed the framed picture of my twin sister Pauline from the top of the bureau, shoving it underneath clothes in the bag to cushion it. I was going to get out of Trenton

Where Silence Meets Serenity
written by: Pramod Rastogi

The paintbrush is a divine gift
That gives us the craft to explore
The mysteries of deep emotions
By discerning manifestations

Through swells and dips profound
On a canvas poured with colors
Where the tempo of an emotion
Is linked to multiple shades.

When You Branch Out
written by: Elena Francesca

Branches
Tangled souls all of one living entity
Stretching towards the solar solace
Meandering like a stream
Longing to launch a bloom or leaf
Then sending it back upon the earth
The essence of dirt receiving it as a gift
Like the comfort of a woven blanket
Cotton clouds

I Am Stubborn and a Little Bit Scared
written by: Stacey Wells

I am stubborn and a little bit scared
I wonder why my body is this old, but my heart is not
I hear time ticking by, sometimes by the second
I see the past, as well as the future
I want to be right in the center of God’s will
I am stubborn and a little bit

A Stubborn Race
written by: Aniedi Ita Bassey

You buried my face inside your engraved palm and then Christened me a slave. You call yourself a saint, but you live behind the devil's backyard. How could you play recklessly with a knife around your neck and expect it not to cut your throat?

Or have you

Depression
written by: Kara Jackman

There's a hole in my chest,
Connected to a tube,
Attached to a pump that sucks the life out of me.

De ventilating me. My breath hisses out,
The oxygen barely supporting my body.
With each rise and fall
My chest pain,
Sharp,
Shoots through each breast.
It's nothing but

La Inmensa Nube
written by: José A Gómez

La inmensa y espesa nube
esta pasando cerca de casa
pasa muy lenta y no se cansa
estremidades , cabeza y panza de esta nube
que sube y baja , cuando ella sube
se llena de agua y como una guagua, hace paradas
la lluvia cae vuelan las hadas
la nube inmensa se há puesto flaca
y si

Christmas Song
written by: Jackie Chou

Christmas arrives without any cheer
The hours of an ill-spent day linger
Like rain clouds my eyes fill with tears

No sleigh bells from Santa do I hear
Nor the harmonic voices of carol singers
Christmas arrives without any cheer

Alone I am with the snow globe deer
So close to

Pablo
written by: Sam Paget

Lyn still wore her green paramedic uniform. She sipped from a cup of tea, and sat in silence. Some days she turned on the TV, to watch cooking shows, the second she got home. Some days she just rested in the quiet. It all depended on what calls she’d gone to and what they’d done to her.
The cup
