A book of poems by one ordinary house cat doing extraordinary things. 40 funny poems about cats. A Cat's Liter Box Serenade With a scratch and a paw, I dig in the sand, Inside my litter box, I make my stand. I scratch and I scratch, like a cat gone wild, Unleashing my instincts, like a curious child. The litter beneath me, a comforting sight, I cover my business with all my might. The sound echoes loud, as I furiously dig, Creating a masterpiece, oh, quite a bigwig. The satisfaction I feel, as I cover it well, Leaving no trace, my secret I shall tell. In this sandy terrain, my kingdom is ...

When I was young, I found a seed, it was small and fragile like me I needed a friend, it felt like the end, to my sad tale I call “My story” Tears watered the dirt when I planted the special seed for the tree Over the years we grew together, now almost fully grown are we

J. R. Cleckler graduated from the University of Alabama with a bachelor’s degree in history/English, with a minor in political science.

In his seventh poetry collection, Jon Davis exhibits the range and mastery that is the result of fifty years of study, teaching, and practice. Above the Bejeweled City opens and closes with homages to Federico Garcia Lorca’s dream-struck ballad “Romance Sonámbulo.” In between, he inhabits what the philosopher Maurice Merleau-Ponty calls the “inexplicable existence” that marks our passage here on Earth.

What to some might feel like harrowing proximity, Okie delivers, in astonishing verse, with wonder and even intimacy. To be sure, Woman at the Crossing is the work of a seasoned practitioner.

In Burritt’s Rapids and Beyond, “whatever flows, remains.” From Winnipeg, Vancouver, Montreal, and rural Ontario, Louis Contant considers his place in the world. Fireflies, whip-poor-wills, squirrels, dragonflies, waterfalls, and the soulful notes of a sonata drift through these meditations on nature, spirituality, writing, love, family, friendship, and music. Louis’ poems inhabit sorrow and suffering yet are rich with praise, delighting in the comforts and joys of ritual and routine alongside brevity and ephemera.

Nature Speaks is a lyrical, soul-stirring poetry collection by A.K. Patrick, written in the voices of the Earth’s oldest storytellers—river, forest, moon, mountain, owl, and others. These are not poems about nature; they are poems from nature. Each verse serves as a whisper from the wild, an echo from stone, a reminder of what we’ve forgotten—and what still waits for us to remember. Told through allegory and grounded in deep emotional truth, these poems explore themes of rebirth, reverence, rage, and resilience.

I scream red . . . for a secret passage to air: Willow Grove Mine cries out in a poem in the aftermath of a gaseous explosion that claimed the lives of 72 coal miners, devastating a community in Southeastern Ohio for decades. Jonathan Graham includes this poem in his 140-page hybrid lyric memoir of Appalachia. Inspired by a dream in which his deceased father tunnels his way to him from the tomb of Willow Grove, the author recounts being raised in an ethnic enclave of immigrant Slovak coal miners, several of whom, including two uncles, lost their lives in the mining catastrophe. Elegiac and ...

Building Bridges is an anthology showcasing my journey into micro poetry, featuring my previously published haiku, tanka, and tanka prose. Within, I explore small moments from my own backyard and childhood, drawing inspiration from the majestic snow-covered mountains and volcanoes in the North Cascades, as well as the towering giant trees that surround me. The ever-present view of the Puget Sound, which I witness daily while teaching young students, and the rhythmic ocean waves of the Pacific blue, further contribute to the tapestry of my poetic musings.

From the creators of Morvoren and Mordardh comes this new poetry anthology, capturing the enthralling nature of the sea. Some of Cornwall’s children and their equally creative parents joined poets to explore happy memories of days at the beach. Cornwall’s dramatic coastline, thrust headlong into the ocean, means you are never far from the water. What songs does the ocean sing? What secrets are whispered by the waves? What mysterious creatures swim beneath its glittering surface?

This book is entitled Scattered Seeds because it is a collection of poems that I have written over the last fourteen years, after the publication of my first two books, especially the first one, Seed of Stars (written in 2004 / 2005 and published in 2014; the second one was Song of Love Itself, from the same period, but published in 2013; both are available on an online platform for independent authors; search for the titles and my name). The term scattered comes from this temporal spread, and seeds because many of the poems presented here bear some similarity in style to my first poetic ...

The Keeper of Seasons is a new collection of poetry that reflects the rugged yet poetic landscapes of the Maine coast, a place where sea meets land in an eternal embrace. With each verse, we venture into the lives of the people who call this edge of the world their home—be it the fisherman who navigates both calm and stormy seas, the lighthouse keeper who serves as a guardian against the treacherous rocks, or the tavern keeper who offers a warm hearth and a cold drink to weary sailors.

The conversion of a local beauty spot into a municipal graveyard is the starting point for New Cemetery. From regular walks around the boundary near his moorland home in West Yorkshire, Simon Armitage chronicles the extraordinary transformation of landscape both outer and inner. These luminous and wry poems—composed in short-lined tercets—reflect the changing world: one of unstable weather patterns and unpredictable news events, all observed across a few acres of Pennine upland.

In this sharing from the heart, I attempt to explore love and, in some instances, hate in their many forms and sources. I have loved and been in love for more than half a century. I have endured broken hearts and might have even broken one or two, although as I look in the mirror, I seriously doubt it. I have foolishly thought I had it all figured out, only to come to the realization that when it comes to love and being in love, I have but scratched the surface, and my vision remains severely trammelled.
