I can be as deep as the ocean below or as high in the sky above. No matter where I am in between we will always be and I will always Love you, for always and ever more. No matter what we do or what we say the Love that we share for one another … Continue reading This Love: Peter Herget

Shower of Light: James Adamson
To the Glory of God To Gwyneth with Love A bluish light with white bobbles like white bubbles Yet a curtain was forever dropping like rain My mind was filled with wonder Writing, painting, music flowed from my mind as if light itself could talk All things of darkness became known for what they are … Continue reading Shower of Light: James Adamson
Doing Lines/It’s a Marathon Not a Sprint: Spencer Elliot Carr
Dreams dashed, Though not the 100-metres. How does one know where normal is, If they’ve never been? Caught in a web of research, References lead to and fro. No more goblins or gremlins, Or large sea creatures of any sort. Health card torn and mangled, Worn from repeated use. Sleeping like Fuller did, Dymaxion rhythm … Continue reading Doing Lines/It’s a Marathon Not a Sprint: Spencer Elliot Carr
Let You See: Elton Plett
Etched upon the heart of stone Is a story all my own And I can’t see the sun Through the clouds The burden of a father’s load Driven down this heavy road The aches and pains of living now Hold onto something, someone, somehow And would you ever think of me If I went and … Continue reading Let You See: Elton Plett
Birth: Cassandra Kulay
Everything is like giving birth It is the universal metaphor for The creative. Oh, unwanted life Is pitiful, this life of suffering Is the twin gift and curse that Clings to each other, now one Now the other, accursed birth That will not bring us to the edge Of our last breath or allow us … Continue reading Birth: Cassandra Kulay
Hell-mare: Cory Buchanan
Lava tinged flickers, by the lantern room, swell soundlessly in unpaired horror. A thrum hammers in chest Scattered words rummage in slithering murmurs. Low hoarse moans launch from the shaded profile lurching with bent posture. Propped in the hall, all slams pitch dark, roaring with creaks. Falling to the baseboards, a pulse glows in retina … Continue reading Hell-mare: Cory Buchanan
Winnipeg The Creative Vortex: Dawn Mcdonnal
It is cold in Winnipeg many months of the year. What else is there to do but art? You know we are busy creating art, the population is too low for anything else. So what is Winnipeg's appeal? What about it creates the amount of artists that it does? I think it is the energy … Continue reading Winnipeg The Creative Vortex: Dawn Mcdonnal

Only the Wing By Randy James Hoffman
It was only the first time, I never knew. I never knew it would be like this. The very Earth moving in my hand. I tried to understand it. How this could come to be. Ah you are young my friend, and filled with prophecy. Only the lover can know the kiss, only the poet … Continue reading Only the Wing By Randy James Hoffman
