into this jail cell
echoes of another self—
no, no, no
*
Train History Room
along the cycling tracks
a toy train hums
*
pause in the past—
scheduled train arrival
never again
*
all aboard
one after another
discovering haiku
*
into sunset
a butterfly rises
bubble eyes from earth
(Anna Yin, 2025)
Miniature Bacardi bottle
on a wooden record cabinet
home for the holidays
~~
eyes closed
arms intertwined
warm sunflower grin
~~
happy ever after—
two week journey by boat
little girl, big imagination
(Janine Wong, 2025)
crimson sunset…
I put on
a floral face mask
down by the river
sunlight shifting through trees
family picnic time
echoes in the soapstone
a little girl’s prayer
for the sea
(Louise Liu 2025)
