Soul: Cassandra Kulay

05/18/202405/17/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

Breaking the surface, a shattered mirror, looking for yourself but the shards are too difficult to match, your soul scattered  over the universe, is this just one fragment of existence, one of many parallel worlds? Silence gives you time to hear the  music of the spheres, harmonizing your point of view with  that continuous tune, building a rapport with insight, … Continue reading Soul: Cassandra Kulay

The Devil’s Horse: Robert St. Germain

05/18/202405/17/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

Hop on the Devil’s horse,  and, ride it straight to Hell. Spend time with the demons, as they put you under their spell. Do not feel guilty, for we are all the same down here. Do not worry, and do not fear. Fire will come from the horse’s hooves. Say what you have to say, and prove what you have to prove. The flames will … Continue reading The Devil’s Horse: Robert St. Germain

Fast and Slow: Rachel Drobot

05/18/202405/17/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

At 12 years old they called me slow. I was the weird “quiet girl”. Contemplative with every word I lived in a dream like introverted world. They called me slow In the way I moved, but especially the way I talked but I look back at those days. Those days I despised myself for who I was and I see the beauty.  I don’t … Continue reading Fast and Slow: Rachel Drobot

Springtime: Marjolaine Brodeur

05/18/202405/17/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

Buds have begun to sprout leaves. Harbingers of what is to come. Trees full of magnificent foliage, Meant to cool and shade new life.  One must hope for better times, Climate change, so sad for all. Heat domes make many wilt,  Fires ravage many domiciles.  Time is now to counter it, No more delay is acceptable. Everyone must play a part, No one is … Continue reading Springtime: Marjolaine Brodeur

Peace Screams: John Oross

05/18/202405/17/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

As I lay resting trouble follows me around as she lay resting peace screams; no sound  She wanted to go dancing, drinking and to have fun. She was now expecting I wanted to save some. She wanted her friend to move right on in a house built on love. Let the end now begin.  As the moments passed the further she walked away, less did I now … Continue reading Peace Screams: John Oross

Scenes of the World: Joyce Lancaster

05/18/202405/17/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

Wonderful, glorious sky; I wish the sky would remain that way. People tend to forget to dream, and reach for the stars,  and dream, and, be innocent, like a child. I love you, child. Don’t lose your dream.  

Dark Hope: James Adamson

05/18/202405/17/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

To the Glory of God, to Gwyneth with Love.  The only reason we look down is that we’re in the dark.  In the light we look to the horizon. When we watch our step we see the separation between the boards on the dock. When the sky is blue we wonder how far we can see, the rotation of … Continue reading Dark Hope: James Adamson

Let’s Talk About Love: Renata Bikar

04/26/202404/25/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

I once read Belcourt’s quote that said,“To love someone, is to firstly confess,I’m prepared to be devastated by you”. I once read a quote of yet another man,It seems that in lifePeople who love youDon’t know how to show it.And, people who hate you,Don’t know how to hide it. I once wrote a poem, about … Continue reading Let’s Talk About Love: Renata Bikar

We See Thee: Richard Edwards

We see theeShe rises into the skyHer beauty calls the dreamer to dream She is an angelShe moves toward the children as they playHer hope is that they will be safe The children run about and playThe song is beautyThat must be remembered The dove has risenWe have seen itThat can not be The angel … Continue reading We See Thee: Richard Edwards

Love Isn’t Poison: Robert St. Germain

04/26/202404/25/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

Love isn’t poison,It’s good for you.When it doesn’t work out you may feel a little blue.At least you can say you had some fun.It’s worth a try when it’s all said and done.Maybe down the road love will be found.And the wonderful love will turn you around.Love can bite you in the ass.Either way it’s … Continue reading Love Isn’t Poison: Robert St. Germain
