About Paradise
by Pascal

Comment:
It's not everything you hoped for.
The service isn't great,
they don't think you need anything.
The prices are absurd.
You laugh at them.
You sound like a Hummel gazelle
rolling down the stairs.

Their bare feet
by lei_73

Comment:
They were told not to walk in their bare feet.
They were warned of microorganisms.
They heard the whisper of sharp things.

But then the sun colluded with the grass,
shoes peeled away,
and summer asked them to the dance.

If I Were...
by Mond

Comment:
If I were me I would do my job,
I would sleep in my bed,
I would love my family,
I would pet my dog,
I would vote my conscience
and believe my beliefs.

If I were the sky I would be blue above me,
offering clouds, massaging solar panels,
drape flatly over heaven, pin down
my horizon.

If I were not I would anything,
empires would fall, a disaster of paradises
would clutter my empty will.

The Locust
by mefnj

Comment:
The locust is created from adolescence by desire.
Anything else is merely a grasshopper.
The locust isn't like a mouse, indifferent to the disease it carries.
Without a plague, there is no locust,
flying over anxious miles,
rolling over vibrant fields,
spattered brightly on rotting barns

The Conductor
by Judi

Comment:
A giant marsh bird, wings outstretched,
waits for the melody to come around,
then waves as though he makes the sound,
resolved to orchestrate this mess.
