Henry's Helmet: Stephen Sigurdson

05/10/201607/11/2017 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

To distract the stimuli flooded his way, to inspire him in different times through the day. To overcome the voices in his head, with something upbeat instead. To help him walk in the crowds of frowns and smiling faces, continue his travels through his anxious paces. To ensure all the different sounds are sometimes at … Continue reading Henry's Helmet: Stephen Sigurdson

A Little Bird: Robert St. Germain

05/10/201607/08/2017 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

A little bird can be treated poorly from bigger birds. But, that little bird can be strong. And he can find other little birds to carry on. When there is thunder, that bird can sing loud enough to be heard. And someone can relate to his tunes. When it rains he can find shelter somewhere. … Continue reading A Little Bird: Robert St. Germain

Sea King: Kelvin Iris

05/10/201607/11/2017 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

I gaze Inclining my page To light my words With now red-tinted city light And crimson ruby Of an already set sun on the horizon. The sky Vast, impenetrable Light behind light Star beyond star Invisible breath Of endless planets Embracing their solar heart So subtle the evening twilight With emerald visions Against the deep … Continue reading Sea King: Kelvin Iris

Ribs of a Tree: James Adamson

05/10/201607/11/2017 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

They're so vital we almost create their breath Their breathing becomes a haunted hollow as they die. The winter is like a moment before a silent collapse as frost and snow blanket and reveal their still ways of communicating. Their ideas flow in and out of our minds as the air around us is like … Continue reading Ribs of a Tree: James Adamson

Wisdom: Cassandra Kulay

How you gain wisdom is through the gifts the Creator has given you. The final product of the learning process is knowledge or wisdom. Hands on learning of methods cultivated to achieve a certain result (as is science 'experimental' method). Memorization of formulas and solutions, the acquisition of knowledge, precedents and antecedents. Facts and theories … Continue reading Wisdom: Cassandra Kulay

Cobblestone Roads: Andrews

Came this twilight mystery She appeared in the night Stealing his heart to tally away. A vision of visions within his mind. It was a night full of surprises The moonlight rippling with the tide Holding her hand for moments that shocked After that long walk on the dock. There was an electricity between them … Continue reading Cobblestone Roads: Andrews

Springtime's in my heart Oh how I long for a breath of Spring To see the buds appearing To feel the newness of everything Oh how I long for a break in the weather For the temperature to rise And the snow to magically melt away For the sun to burst forth in the skies … Continue reading Yearning For Spring: Wendy Leslie Kirsch

Seasons 5: Brian Smith

04/09/201607/11/2017 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

When Fall comes calling, the leaves start falling, turning the trees into wood skeletons. Empty branches stretch skyward, as leaf-carpet coats my yard; the cycle of nature nears its end. Soon the snow will come blowing and ice crystals will be forming upon auto windshields for sure. The cold will freeze engine blocks; back lanes … Continue reading Seasons 5: Brian Smith
