A Stroll Through Eternity / Brian K. Mino

Published on October 8, 2021 by Editorial Staff

Life is but, a merry go round and round and round it goes, will it ever stop? Who can know, but as we go it surely is not slow, as we tread through the winter snow. For I have come to see life on earth as but an afternoon show.

— Brian K. Mino / Grayling, Michigan

Ambush / Steve Williams

Published on August 27, 2021 by Editorial Staff

A hidden yellowjacket nest,
an ankle-twisting curb, those
hungry mosquitoes lurking
in the shade of the maple tree,
a practical joke at your expense,
that word that always used to be
at your fingertips – a threat
in every corner, except in bed
with the covers pulled up. Once
you’ve brushed away the spiders.

Steve Williams/ Munith, Michigan

Great Lake / Mary Jo Stich

Published on May 1, 2021 by Editorial Staff

GREAT LAKE

We know it’s there
beyond the fringe of trees

We hear it lap the shore
lick grains of sand erasing
our footprints

Wracks pile against rocks
white with gull guano

Each wave rinses clean
each bird replenishes

Mary Jo Stich / Denmark, Wisconsin
