Unwritten Magic —- by Eugenia
again, no water!
lips parched and dry
longing to sup dew from
a single leaf clinging to life
before its last disconnect.
concerned for her children,
she harangued customer service,
her rant lapsed on the weary.
come morning, the skies awakened
in fairytale fashion, cascading tears
from unwritten poems.
a dazzling performance

Well Water ….. by Jim Adams
A breakdown in domestic water supply caused the town leaders to consider new alternatives and they made an appointment to talk with the well water sales engineer today. When Mr. Jones arrived, they asked him what type of guarantee they would get for their money, if they decided to invest in this well water system technology. Mr. Jones said that he would need a retainer to do a study and depending on what information came from that, then he could give them an estimate. Mr. Jones told them, “Since you can’t see ground water, we have hydrologists on staff that utilize scientific methods to find water, but this can be a crap shoot and sometimes your neighbor may have water and you won’t. We will have some test holes drilled and check our records that we have acquired for all the holes that were drilled in this area and that…

The crows ….. by Aishwarya
The crows cawed cawed a curse,
The busy people never knew,
Noisily amongst their kin they carried,
Secret keeping they didn’t do.
Beyond the dragons of ire,
Where seething flames spit unhindered through darkness and light,
Beyond the mountains of desire,
Where unsurmountable peaks brushed against canvas of sky,
Did they stop to quench their thirst from teeming rivers of plentitude?
Did they stop to admire the valleys of unwilting blooms ?
What transpired between then and now,
The busy people never knew,
The crows cawed cawed a curse,
Putting all to slumber,
Sleeping beauty like I not know?
Shrouded in minds of obscurity,
Lying thicketed in clouds of uncertainty.
The crows cawed cawed a curse,
Putting all to slumber,
Sleeping beauty like I not know?
Only to wake up,
21 years into the 21st century,
And to find,
People scared of people,
The crows cawed cawed a curse,
And…
