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

The World is too Fast: Joyce Lancaster

04/26/202404/25/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

Spinning, this way,And that way,Coming here, and there,Answering text, email, voicemail.I can’t imagine the older days, when there was no running water.I’m hoping I don’t become too much of a frantic haze for us.Got to remain calm, until the end of the day.

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

04/26/202404/25/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

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

Woman of the Woods: Robert St. Germain

04/26/202404/25/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

Woman of the woods, dancing by the fire.She chants as her soul rises higher.The moonlight gives her joy and power.She escapes this earth more every hour.Mother Nature in her blood.Her feet stomp on the dirt and mud.Her she is, the mistress of the night.Underneath the stars so bright.

Plain Jane: Brittney Fox

04/26/202404/25/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

Which way’s Heaven?Looks like time is lost.It took so much time, for my heart and soul to defrost.Wait, I’m still in need, for my mind to be flossed.I’ve been burning, every bridge, I’ve ever crossed.Will I be able to seek redemption, before my eyes are glossed?Before, my towel is tossed?Flip my sand dial;I want to … Continue reading Plain Jane: Brittney Fox

Somebody: Brittney Fox

04/26/202404/25/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

There isn’t a bed of roses,in these four walls, that I’m living in.And, there isn’t a lock to pick on the door.Just, outside, there is the road to nowhere;it has its curves, and four way stops.There are out dated signs, leading to me.As well as, a broken bridge.Inside, there is somebody in the mirror, looking … Continue reading Somebody: Brittney Fox

Ennui: Cassandra Kulay

04/26/202404/25/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

The wind whips, through the still bare trees,and, I’m haunted, by a feeling of vague unease,not still winter, but, not yet spring,dark thoughts plague me, and, uncomfortable memories.Here, stands the facts of my life,unadorned, I am sad, I’m angry, I’m even bored;with comparing what was for what it has the potential to be.I guess, that’s … Continue reading Ennui: Cassandra Kulay
