ROUND 6
Hidden in their dark coats
Elegant and modest
People are beautiful in Winter
Domitille Desforges
waves crash on the shore
leaving treasures of the sea
as the tide retreats
Matt Simo
Mist of my mind's eye
Forever settling there
Down below my hair.
Sam Jack
squirrels are getting fat
as they dart across the lawn
to hide new found food
Heidi Vogel
icy frigid nights
painting beautiful landscapes
for all of the world
Too much of a rush
To get everywhere at once
Without being there
Mike He
Breath fogs the window
Rain is pouring down outside
Cold, the trees shudder
Veronica Bordewick
Hands stuffed in pockets
Warm smiles chased away by cold
Eyes gazing straight down
Rebecca Petzel
Will we come around?
Like the fall into winter
Winter turns to spring
Pamela Snyder
Walking a deer trail,
It runs into a thicket
The leaves fall gently.
Nic Jelinski
The evening has come to rest on the shoulders of the day,
Sagging them into a lazy orange sleep,
Swaying them into a slow orange slumber,
Singing away the white-hot days of the summer.
We have kicked away the last wicked steps of the rain.
Sewn from the trees, cut from the quilt,
The yellow fall, laced with leaves, spills to the ground.
After hours of laughing, the hours grow late,
And stretched out you are the beginning of the leaves;
A wine-red truth in the last days of the summer.
We will shock the clouds from the sky, leaving nothing but stars.
Moon blues eyes in a new moon night.
Nic Jelinski
Rain clouds appear
Dark sky follows soon after
Play in the puddles
Benjamin Krams
We gather around the kitchen table
Like so many times before
Only the head is left empty
The matriarch is gone
Who will now sit in the branches of the treetop
To watch over the parts that give the family soul?
Claire Cragan
Orange, red and yellow
Crunchy leaves are on the ground
Jump in them and laugh
Blaire Skinner
Morning dew clings to
My shoes as I walk to the
Bus stop, now I wait
Steve Miller
Who else do I help?
Folks lost on the winding trail
Just lost from themselves
Eva Denny
