Weaving Hands, Victoria Berrios

The Peregrine Review

These are the hands God uses to knit my life together.

Each new thread added is another person who enters,

Every twist a new experience,

A journey woven carefully,

My threads of existence being pulled into a tapestry.

Joy In New Beginnings, Abby Morgan

The Peregrine Review

If you would have told me my world was going to be flipped upside down in aisle B9 of a furniture store, I wouldn’t believe you, but I should.

Wilding, Olivia Bardo

The Peregrine Review

You miss the garden.

The snow peas and carrots and zucchini,

The crab apple tree

And each time the morning glories

Opened up against the chipped barn.

The Last Goodbye, Autumn Miller

The Peregrine Review

If there would be one thing I regret,

In this long life

It would the way our last goodbye had ended.

We both did not know this would be the last

And I had said nothing.

Discontentment, William Stowman

The Peregrine Review

Discontentment must be accepted and appreciated

For the tremendous gift that it is.

This unsettled, unhappy, underlying anxiety

That crushes the spirit and suppresses joy

Footprints In The Snow, Christopher Mundis

The Peregrine Review

I walked through a forest

as snow fell gently.

Each branch was robed in white.

The ground was cloaked

with its frozen frosting.

Gazing At Doll’S Constellations, Kaitlin Merlino

The Peregrine Review

Out of the cacophony of shoes clacking

She wants a moment alone...

The silence is wonderful. Her eyes welcome the image

Of blue streaks speckled with stars and soar across

The light brushstrokes of astrological arteries

Carrying lifeblood of turquoise and aquamarine.

Stages Of Suzanne, Jacy Seltzer

The Peregrine Review

When you left me again that day last fall I went through the five stages of grief- no, to clarify, the stages of Suzanne as my therapist so kindly put it, stages that included sobbing on the floor when your scent finally left out the door, going through your things with mascara staining my cheeks

The Teacher, Will Labossiere

The Peregrine Review

With overflowing exuberance, he hops

from square to square, on the green quilted carpet

of our classroom.

Conspiring against our imaginations with

penetrating gaze, and absolute certainty in his speech.

The Kneeling Savior, Victoria Berrios

The Peregrine Review

My story is one that is still questioned, still situated in the divisive crosshairs of mostly malereligious leaders and translators. I am unnamed, yet my fate is still being decided; the memory of my story is an unclaimed echo in time. Its validity in the canon of scripture is still disputed. The faith to which we all belong is still caught in that ancient warfare between Grace and Law. May I offer, since it is my story, that this adds to the validation of its message, its eternal truth? I want to tell the story from my perspective, if you …
