Cold hands
Bright lights
It is the season

bright lights
don't warm our hands
ice skates

in a cold season
a child waiting
for the bright lights

‘Tis the season
cold hands
lights everywhere

Quentin Key

‘Tis the season
cold hands
colorful light

‘tis the season
cold hands
and colorful lights

center city tree
lights brighten
cold hands

down to the wire
friday night lights
illuminate the city

bright lights
glow
in the heart of children

playing in the yard
nightfall comes
quickly we go in

playing in the yard
laughing—
the day must end

playing in the yard
nightfall comes
dinner bell draws us in

Sarah Hoadley

nightfall comes
quickly go in
after playing in the yard

playing in the yard
quickly they go in
as nightfall comes

nightfall
children dwindle
longing for more

in the yard
children play
as nightfall comes

drizzling rain
in a car
to your unknown future

rainfall
cars in view
at an unknown intersection

drizzling rain
hitting the windshield
future unknown

drizzling rain
in a car
your future unknown

drizzling rain
in a car
to an unknown future

specs of rain
on a windshield
crashing into one another

rain drizzles
on the car
little hope of tomorrow

a house in the woods
darkness engulfs us
fireflies are among us

a house in the woods
darkness
then fireflies

fireflies light the path
in the woods
the house

Sarah Hoadley

a house in the woods
fireflies flicker
darkness closes in

a house in the woods
darkness closes in
my heart races

a house in the woods
darkness closes in
fireflies float above

a house
in darkness
engulfs us as we walk

gleaming candle
shushed out at days' end
while she contemplates tomorrow

gleaming candle
shushed at day's end
thoughts of tomorrow

gleaming candle
flickers out
I contemplate tomorrow

gleaming candle
snuffed out
I contemplate tomorrow

gleaming candle
burns out
i contemplate tomorrow

Nathan Heppermann

gleaming candles
at days' end blown out
contemplates tomorrow

as she walks through a small path
the sound of Birds
comes with judgment

passing judgement
as she follows the path
the crows

walking through a path
a judgmental sound
comes from a bird

birds chirping
along my path
Judgment day

a small path
birds chirp
judgment comes

i walk through a small path
judgement calls
from the sound of birds

walking through the path
sounds of the birds
bring judgement

out the window—
cried
the little girl

out the window
a little girl cries
snowman gone

out the window—
little girl cries
home shrinking in the distance

little girl
tears streaming
glistening reflection in the window

out the window—
little girl cries
mother gone

out the window
a little girl
cries

light bell ring
revealing of eyes
Got one!

fishing line bell
wakes up Grandpa
Got one!

Quentin Key

hat raises
fishing bell rings
Got one!

eyes uncover
fishing pole sounds
Got one!

tinkling bell
eyes flash open
Got one!

bell rings
my eyes open
Got one!

ring of a bell
revealing of eyes
the catch of the day

the ringing of the bells
release the
anxious students
