The Affect of Rain By Cassandra Kulay

06/10/201806/14/2018 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

Looking out at the slick streets everything seems to be emerging as emerald green, trees stretch their branches and seem to burst into song, rain washes the dust and grit away with a promise of a cooler day, the clouds a pregnant, dark and brooding, full of rain, my soul is at peace as they … Continue reading The Affect of Rain By Cassandra Kulay

Four Winds Ward By Andrews

06/10/201806/14/2018 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

We're headed far winds ward to Studio Central, where an artists' hub lives and breathes. Winnipeg bound to the gateway of the west, where cold days exhume inside themselves. It starts with a whim and a prayer of thought. With a writer's enlightenment though per chance. Idea after idea envelopes and nurtures it so, The … Continue reading Four Winds Ward By Andrews

Grant’s Old Mill By Cory Buchanan  

06/09/201806/14/2018 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

Relaxed, too relaxed Nerves like electricity Sound of steel banging Break a plate Shattered nerves

Hallucinate By Cory Buchanan  

05/10/201805/11/2018 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

Gorge mountains powder to plateau, in beading heat, climbing from fevering clamour. A short rail to celestial whispers, deep in moonlit motions. Suspended in sixth sense, passed the pitches, into the dawn of flattened breathing.

Nothing’s Written By John Oross

05/10/201805/11/2018 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

It was a cold winter morning With nothing but white to see It was a time for reflection I had nothing except my creativity So armed with pen and paper I started to confront my destiny. Too often in life we ignore Those few who mean us well Many times we simply turn away Ending … Continue reading Nothing’s Written By John Oross

Kids and School Buses By Wendy Leslie Kirsch

05/10/201805/11/2018 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

The bell just rang And here they come Some run to meet Their Dad or Mom. Pony tails And dancing curls Rowdy boys And shrieking girls. Most line up and wait For their buses to arrive Others bound down the street So young and alive. They don’t hold still for a second Jumping and down … Continue reading Kids and School Buses By Wendy Leslie Kirsch
