i remember sitting on the cliffs and watching
the passenger jets fly in from asia.
Mioi
Elements, so strong
Reveal themselves so we know
We are nature too
Heidi
slow late morning sun
we walk apart breathing slow
redwood, burned and tall.
Shelley
Waves crashing on sand
Peaches covered in ocean
I take many steps
Sammie
Sunset in the west
Dark blue embraces orange
Shy and resistant.
Jialing
missing you my friend
Car
Red and black Madrone
Leaves sprout green on charred branches
Reaching toward the sun
Lisa
amber light shines through
smoke-filled disbelief pervades
holding on for days
Mika Y
after the fires
and the virus, the people
took a long exhale
Aloe
Unrest ringing as
I polish my gilded cage
Leaves still grow and fall
Amy
Water to the left
trees growing to create shade
not too hot, not cold.
Em
Green elegant leaves
Attach her lips to the stems
Swing in cold yet brave
Jialing
i remember oogling at the longan,
persimmon, pomelo and running
away from mosquitos
Sophie
People lie on sand
like seals on a hot day
the surf laps their skin
Alisha
orange peels on plates
Mel
When we all pitch in
We surely will win
And then the world won’t seem so strange.
Nguyen
Fire Works in the Sky,
Silent Night Lit Up Suddenly,
Rivers, Good Bye for Now.
Asako
sitting on marina bank-
fishing pole in hand
Lynn
fishing lines hanging
geese on foot
loud thoughts calm with wind
Lily
man made solar eclipse-
dawn is postponed-
surreal darkness that sparks the awareness deep within-
Climate Change is real. I had a part in creating this.
Lynn
storms and flames raging
a quiet breath
pen on paper
Lily
Rice Fields over Mountains,
Found a Frog Jumping on the Street,
I Don’t Wanna Leave here
