Poems: Islamic Form, Haiku, Poetic Prose (and Imagery) - So many times this month I've felt the alienation within the city's lost children.

Interchanging Poetry of Memory Recall Related to Undocumented History - Memory and the ability to recall diminish as time passes; we take for granted the lives we live.

Most babies, if not all of them have the same first words - mom and dad, but this is probably because these are the people they see every day above their bed.

The Most Powerful Words - People aren't the only ones who can sit, walk and run, there are many other species living under the Sun.
