Walking in winter
We slip and tumble on ice Hands meet under snow Andrew is a college student from New Jersey. When he's not studying or working he enjoys classic literature, pop music, and a good football match. This is his first published poem. In Winter Deana Prock
Stars brightly shining,
Snow conceals our tiny roof— Your arms blanket me. We Are All Dancers Deana Prock
Pretty girls dance pink:
Graceful limbs, peaches and cream… The mosh pit is mine. Deana Prock lives in Brooklyn, NY where she is currently writing her Master's Thesis at Mercy College. She shares her space with one man, two narcoleptic cats and a very abused laptop. She has work published or forthcoming in BloodLotus, Full of Crow, and Rufous City Review. Her other creative outlets include the baking of bread and seriously divine red velvet cupcakes. On guard! Virginie Colline

Frosted pale moonlight
Diamonds sparkling in the sky Candles in the snow. Lilith Rose Kowaliw

her delicate, white shoulder like a silent bruise. Wiinter's Canvas Rose Kowaliw
Brushstrokes of grey skies,
burnished snow-covered mountains in storm-lashing hues. Winter Nights Rose Kowaliw
On cold moonlit nights
Winter doesn’t affect me Sipping burgundy. Christmas Rose Kowaliw

Muffled by December snow Peace on earth this night The Gift Rose Kowaliw
The look in his eyes
When I walk into the room And his tender smile. Rose Kowaliw enjoys creating original computer art as well as painting in oils, both of which have been shown in galleries in NY and New England.
