The river endlessly flowing over
my eyes endlessly shedding tears
and in the summer the sun still shines
- Rawan Al-Ghalayeini
Approaching clouds
fainted sunrays
a leaf falls from my heart
- Nadeen
Summer afternoon
in the mist of green tea
a lost friend
- Wang Jiemin
Silence in the cottage
darkness all around
and the fire was far away
A frozen glass of water
waiting and waiting
the warm sunrise
- Dr. Renad Al-Momani
Dwelling in Arab
I know time in Arab
The sky in Autumn
- Midori Kuriyama
One gentle spring night
a stream of breeze passes by
on a colorful pathway
- Dima
Winter time the happy the joy and the smile
walking together under the rain
with two hands like a plait
- Rana Ghazal
The wind blows the leaves away
the wind blows my thoughts away
the wind cannot blow you away from me
- Matilde
Tenderly rising
here comes the full moon
of autumn night
- Nusiba Shbaitah
The soft mushroom
broke the heart of the earth
and grew up
- Dr. Abdul Razzaq Abdul Samad Sabir
Cold… rain…. Darkness
two lovers under an umbrella
- Tamara
An elephant can’t see
the bird on his head
but can see the one on another elephant
- Hussein Abdullah
A light is coming
from unknown place
but it changing my feelings
- Saif Madi
Raincoat and a scarf made of wool
snow everywhere
like a big cloud covers you around
- Safa’a Nimir
The sky darkness
A deep pure affection
spreads through winter air
- Sandra Jamal
A bird on a telephone wire
inflating his chest
the voice never reaches
The sun is a lamp in a shade
mist is hesitant
A second later it’s steam
- Takwa
Sound of wind
color of forest
I wear autumn
- Koo Min Young
I saw the river
the wind over the frozen river singing to me
of the coming spring
Under the summer sun
my face is sun-burned
all the world looks red
The sky is high
the food is more sufficient
I’m afraid to be fat
White flower petals drop
on the ground
the gift from the heaven
- Hwang Eun-Hui
Land with lots of flowers
two butterflies
trying to catch each other
- Sajeda Dabbas
The sunset of autumn
behind the mountain
gone with the traveler
- Hasna Awwad
Failed hopes … dying expectation
tears from the sky
and a child warmed in his mother’s arms
- Salma Abdelrahman
Autumn around me
I learn Japanese culture in English
in Jordan
- Satomi
White morning breath
gently falling into my palm
white snow flake
A hot summer afternoon
wind chime in my room
doesn’t sing
Summer evening
an old woman bowing
in front of a temple
- Taymoor
