the tree’s snakes

tangle to keep each other warm

deep in sleeping winter

--Amber

the old tree dances

 too slowly

for the leaves to see

--Christina

stream of passing cascades

bears the red leaves

 to where the poet wanders

--Benzene

step over the rocks

the old roots

too thirsts for the stream

--Prime

water falls fast

to purl the stream

leaves lie damp beside

--Johnny

sere roots

leaves fallen

have you seen the new birds?

--Christine Wang

leaves fallen, stream flowing

will they meet

before first snows?

--Tony

friends try to find

the time capsule

under a decades tree

--Kelvin

they fall in silence

neither the stream nor the tree

protects them

--Charley

the sleeping tree

held its last leaves tight

but all are fallen now

--Lydia

fallen leaves

of the maple

nourish the old pale roots

--Ricky

tears fall

from a woman’s eyes

when she is cutting onions

—Wang Siyu

in a circle

big glowworms besiege me

children with mid-autumn lanterns

—WanKei Chon

pale moon 

erases its travelling path

until the grey of dawn

—Jorge

flower still in bloom

travels across the seabed

on the back of a hermit crab

—Benzene

sunlight on the sea

is fishing for vapour

as clouds demand

—Ferri

only one chamber empty

against his temple the cylinder spins

and then one dull click

—Yuri

riding a tricycle

tipping over, crying, having hit a stone

this fully grown man

—Susan

black and white birds

make from tree to tree

just because they are hungry

—Michael

weed floats by the shore

in among, two eyes

will you meet this crocodile?

—Tong

dark clouds

take this moon from the pond

leaving these fish friendless

—Ricky

rumbling of the plane

though thick cloud

always sends me to sleep

—Lydia

driven by the rain

splashed from home to here

doing it! two rude snails 

—John

wide sky
the eagle chases the sparrow
into the aircraft's engine

~ Tony ~

a bee
far our from the coast
brought down in a whale spout

~ Susan ~ 

hot summer night
what seems snow falling
so many moth corpses

~ Antonio ~

on top of Alps
jump and fly
forget I am not bird

~ Prime ~

speeding bird
collide with a speeding bus
guess which survives?

~ Christine ~

finally the rain stops
the earthworm breathes
its last in the baking sun

~ Jeff ~

blue eye of the storm
the ship be calmed
soon planks and bloated corpses

~ Yuri ~
