The Trouble with Harry | Ricky Garni

At the coffee shop, I was marveling at how much the acorn
resembles both the pineapple and the artichoke. So I took a
picture of it and showed it to my friend. He looked at it for
a moment and then he said “You know that’s not an acorn –
that’s Harry Houdini, who was born in Wisconsin.” What
else do you know about Harry Houdini? I asked him, did
he die of a broken heart? Suddenly Harry became very
enigmatic. Perhaps a better word for it would be moist.
It was raining: the acorns had disappeared.

Alone Against the World | Wayne Russell

Out on his own,
ravaged like a
weathered ship
that washed ashore
a millennium ago.

Awoken one morning
by lone seagulls cry,
the world seemed so
very cold now, not
knowing love.

It’s frightening growing
old, out on your own
listening to seagulls cry,
and shy away from looming
thunderstorm, that lashes out
for all the broken hearted
down below.

Beautiful Ghosts | Fotoula Reynolds - Contemporary Poetry Website Featuring Notable Poems

Beautiful Ghosts | Fotoula Reynolds

A river of memories
Flow into my life
Dancing like dragonflies
Chasing each other

Grey photographs inside
The album of my mind
Fingertips turn pages
On skin is last decade’s dust

Armchair dreams make me smile
Love journeys with heart and hands
Unaccountable footprints
Reach the ancient elm tree

Two bodies ignite the dawn
Dew drops fall from leaf to leaf
And the distance in their eyes is
A homecoming they can’t deny

Beautiful ghosts lay lost
Between walls of heavy sighs
Reminiscing in corridors
Nobody gets away unhurt
