Streaks Across the Sky: James Adamson

10/12/201607/10/2017 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

Some kinds of clouds stream and streak the blue sky like a focal point spreading its beams of life drawing us to the horizon. Do you feel like answering its call? Do you want to see where the life of the sky came from, the natural rays of lightly manifested airbrushed clouds or the stronger … Continue reading Streaks Across the Sky: James Adamson

Halloween Night: Gerald Herron

10/12/201607/10/2017 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

The creaking coffins, the ghosts and goblins, cobwebs, and long-legged spiders that make your eyes open wider! Pumpkins to jack-o-lanterns, that light the way to the candy taverns. Blue tights, red cape, faster than a speeding bullet; powered by little legs and feet. Outlaws, desperados, Jesse James, Billy the Kid. Liquorice sticks and peppermints; bars … Continue reading Halloween Night: Gerald Herron

Resilience: Cassandra Kulay

10/12/201607/10/2017 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

The corner where she used to wait for the bus running regularly, on it's efficient daily schedule. The unbelieving nature turned upon itself like clockwork because of the unimaginable. Snow covered roof looking out on the white space of incumbent frustration. Should lasting memories portray the sun in the face of waxing nightfall? Cherished hopes … Continue reading Resilience: Cassandra Kulay

I Have Drifted: Andrews

10/12/201607/10/2017 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

I have drifted Searching for a love I have never found To find the one that loves you Is the hardest conquest You may ever have known Drifting, drifting, drifting I have drifted so close to you To find a true love in you Drifting, drifting, drifting As fate has cast me to and fro … Continue reading I Have Drifted: Andrews

Heaven Is: Wendy Leslie Kirsch

09/10/201607/11/2017 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

A place of peace, eternal bliss, and yet a whole lot more than this. It is no more pain, and no more tears, it is magic music to our ears. It is smiling faces, songs of joy, fun times for every girl and boy. It is crystal waters, the tree of life, no more struggles, … Continue reading Heaven Is: Wendy Leslie Kirsch

Black Cat: Robert St. Germain

09/10/201607/11/2017 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

Black cat how they fear you, see how they cower the superstitious fools. Your fur as pretty as The evening sky. I listen as you purr from deep inside. Your eyes look at mine with intelligent thought. And you seem content More often than not. You stand on a fence like it is Halloween. Still … Continue reading Black Cat: Robert St. Germain

Love: Richard Edwards

09/10/201607/11/2017 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

 The beauty of the morning sunlight flows and carries with it the dream that comes to us each day it carries us To the harbinger of the day sensuous songs fill the air they carry with us to our lover's arms. The song is silent when we dream pain conveys its song as we sleep. … Continue reading Love: Richard Edwards

Untitled: Peter Herget

09/10/201607/12/2017 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

If you must love, love yourself first. For respect only comes, when you are honest with yourself. Your courage can only be found, if you are humble enough to accept, what is and what comes. The truth only comes, when you are wise enough to know the difference. When will you know? When the time … Continue reading Untitled: Peter Herget

From a Distance: Papion

09/10/201607/11/2017 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

I cannot forget you, it’s like a dream. Sometimes things happen that are not what they seem. I tell my heart you are someone I hate, but for some reason I know it is too late. I know I cannot have you, you are something forbidden, so I guess my feelings will just have to … Continue reading From a Distance: Papion

Karyn: Kelvin Iris

09/10/201607/11/2017 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

The jumping fish sends laughter, Rippling across the quiet blue river. It breaks against my feet, and I hear a voice chant. Let it never end, the laughter that breaks from the still, enchanted water. I sing a song, whose words form breath that rustles the leaves, of a dark green forest. Sleeping in the … Continue reading Karyn: Kelvin Iris
