"Showers to Flowers Jam" - April & May 2016

[judih]

birds unperturbed
let it rain, or not
'sall good

[the mingo]

rain ...
wet dawn
breathing in the damp
i think i need
more blood to the brain
i'm not exactly
roaring down the stretch here

[saw]

black gray morning
my head is dragging its ass
the bouquet of java

[WIREMAN]

Jam slice
Easy living
A little rain
Time for work

[WIREMAN]

Delving into
Jam
Cycles
Weather returns
To immense applause
Carried with the wind.......

[judih]

no roar, no stretch
but a day of differences
a word, a hope, a chance

[Arcadia]

shadows & garúa
I can try slow walks
only in my mind

[the mingo]

- mothers driving their movies
into the hills
parking among the rocks
under the trees
a 100,000 year old bone
dangling from the
rear view mirror
call it gunslinging history
picturing all the pretty poems
quaking in their beds
morally unreading every book
they ever read
about men & steel
frightened to fuck
and all the other
funny games
nose whispering in
the opera phone
going down to the garden
to learn me
some lies about
how love is loud, obscene,
and sometimes missing

[WIREMAN]

Love that shudders
Hatches battened
Batons twirled
She was a Pom Pom girl
Her brother my friend
Till that 1st date

[Doreen Peri]

Brrrrr but the fire is ohhh soooo nice,
chilly wind, night light, God's fingernail
a Cheshire cat shines in the black
backdrop sky.

[judih]

lonely bed
rain all night
coffee at 4 am

[Arcadia]

sudestada still howling
midnight parenthesis & red fuits tea
indoors ruana

[the mingo]

jam!
bam!
bam-bam!
goofy shoe two-step
archaic traffic
going by
each hauling
its shadow
flowers trying to make it
all the way
to bloom
don't matter now
if the cold
lets up or
not

[saw]

no rain in sight
and the weatherman claims
to be able to see into the future
the same future the Apache
saw without the instrumentation
modern man likes to make
a lot of plans, so meteorologist
is an actual paying job, and
citizens tune in, instead of
tuning out like timothy advised,
and it all seems so scripted some days
the rote mechanics, the nine
to five bucks says you'll watch
the advertising as you wait for all
the information anyone could possibly
need...it's all there in living pixilization
if you keep on watching you'll never
ever have a single original idea,
rise up brothers and sisters, put on
your shoes, throw your box in the lake
make an artificial reef

[Doreen Peri]

Vitamin D-lightful!
Spring sprung, the birds
sung a beautiful song!
Weather like this can last as long
as it likes! Need to pump up the
tires on my bike, go for a ride!
If you stay inside today,
it would be a crime!
Spring sprung and
it was about time!
