tis the season
for poofy white dresses
and wedding bells

tis the season
for poofy white dresses
and wedding bells
the guests rise to witness
the bride on the ground

tis the season
for poofy white dresses
and wedding bells
mother-in-law's
new hairdo

tis the season
for poofy white dresses
and wedding bells
I open another
white letter

summer breeze
mist from a child's squirt gun
falls in my drink

Lisa Capasso

summer breeze
mist from a child’s squirt gun
falls in my drink
I can’t help but smile
the innocence of children

summer breeze
mist from a child’s squirt gun
falls in my drink
I tell the kids
play somewhere else

summer breeze
mist form a child’s squirt gun
falls in my drink
perfectly watered down
I watch the sunset

first snow—
the little girl runs
to the front window

Aesha Bunch

first snow—
the little girl runs
to the front window
smashing her face imprinted on the window as she walked away

first snow—
the little girl runs
to the window
she grins from ear to ear
at the first sight of snow on the ground

first snow—
the little girl runs
to the window
slipping on the cold
wood floor

school play ground
the little boy
kissed the chattering girl

Hannah Woolard

school play ground
the little boy
kissed the chattering girl
love is endless
beginning at any age

school play ground
the little boy
kissed the chattering girl
next to the slide
where they always meet

school play ground
the little boy
kissed the chattering girl
she wipes boy germs
from her wet cheek

clouds
shaped like dogs
the bright sky

Aesha Bunch

clouds
shaped like dogs
the bright sky
looking up in awe
in the bright green field

clouds
shaped like dogs
the bright sky
above me
as I lay on the ground

clouds
shaped like dogs
the bright sky
I stretch out my blanket
basking in the sun

our morning walk
my dog piddles
on a neighbor's rose

Lisa Capasso

our morning walk
my dog piddles
on a neighbor’s rose
giggling to myself
accidents happen

our morning walk
my dog piddles
on a neighbors rose
his lawn was so beautiful
now the flowers are wet and droopy

our morning walk
the dog piddles
on a neighbor’s rose
we walk faster
she notices

trouble in paradise
she leaves the house
for her sisters

Hannah Woolard

trouble in paradise
she leaves the house
for her sisters
saying a silent prayer
they help me stay sane

trouble in paradise
she leaves the house
for her sisters
to find a tear filled sister
broken nails

warm wind
caresses my neck
he taps my shoulder

Lisa Capasso

warm wind
caress my neck
he taps my shoulder
eyes beaming
he kiss my lips

warm wind
caress my neck
he taps my shoulder
as I slip off the chair
with a smile
