Ingo Cesaro: Independent Author

Looking in vain for

blossoms of magnolia –

among the branches.

A feather in my

hand left behind from the bird.

I can see the wind.

No empty seats left

but autumn grants us fog-banks –

outside the chapel.

Gert W. Knop: Author and Graphic Artist

last days of summer

leaves are dancing in the sun

a pair of ducks hide

quite after midnight

time disappears in silence

suddenly thunder

the song of a lark
so very slowly fading
after summer rain
