Flowers & Vortexes Online

Welcome to  Flowers & Vortexes Online A Vortex of Creativity © 2020 Mikey Webb © 2020 David Brooks On Grief    August slips cool into a September porch swing. Come sit with me and have coffee at 3am. We'll speak without shame, for we've been intimate for years - since you found your place between my husband's hips and mine. We are one another's quiet addiction, each the other's lingering suicide. I recognize pain, my reflection, in your eyes, and yet I draw you in. You are my Marlboro man, here to save me, but there is too much smoke - summer stinking and thick with kudzu vows. Autumn rings on some distant curve, and with this dreaded friend, I pray. Together we mourn midnights into dawn on the whispered tune of our blessings: Hurry, on the west wind to the seas, move them with the tarnished arc of the harvest moon. © 2006 Erin Monahan  *This poem was previously published in Flowers & Vortexes, Issue I (2006).      ...

Fall/Winter Issue: Relaunch I (Live on November 4, 2021)

 Flowers & Vortexes Online A Creative Magazine Relaunch Issue I ISSN: 1932-8753 John Grey   Sailing Home At twilight, by the shoals, light rain, the kiss of heaven, the dark sea of clockwork, horizon, a bobbing orange line, our boat catches the freshened breeze, tiptoes home on foam. Some stars where clouds no longer drip, a lapping at the sides, a liquid whisper, your face, sepulcher-white,  but as alive as new birth, my hands turning sails, playing string music with the air. This is one journey of many, seeping with myriad images, some sharp, others indifferent  to their own shape, toward shore or away from it, with company  or setting my heart’s compass  to your magnetic absence. Home, where the sea and sky  blend as one, home, where we last left ourselves, up the hill, dry, well-lit, and warm. Connections: Mary Bongat-Libby Elemental Is her way, a sway  so fluid, so mesmerizing.  So scrutinizing: her gaze as a raven’s eyes channeling ...
