sunny garden
mother and daughter
on bended knee

sunny garden
mother and daughter
on bended knee
she is overwhelmed
by her beau's proposal

Dee Woods

sunny garden
mother and daughter
on bended knee
ants rally
to protect their home

light show
on a stormy night
family on the porch

Glen Sims

light show
on a stormy night
family on the porch
Grandma hums
an old-time hymn

Glen Sims & Dr. Brooks

listen to the rain
laying side by side
hear everything . . . and nothing

Jenifer Hagen

listen to the rain
laying side by side
hear everything . . . and nothing
flashing clock
longs to be heard

Jenifer Hagen

fat berries
heavy with morning dew
my knees hurt

Willa Heath

fat berries
heavy with morning dew
my knees hurt
walking cane
left in the car

Willa Heath & Dr. Brooks

scattered wildflowers
finger
encircles mine

Marcia Gordon

scattered wildflowers
finger
encircles mine
feet
planted side by side

hairspray and bobby pins
curlers falling out
she laughs

Willa Heath

hairspray and bobby pins
curlers falling out
she laughs
then cries
at her image

Willa Heath & Marcia Gordon

hairspray and bobby pins
curlers falling out
she laughs then cries
the day
has just begun

Willa Heath & Jenifer Hagen

grandpa’s fishing poles
grandma’s doilies
cobwebs in the attic

Jenifer Hagen

grandpa's fishing poles
grandma's doilies
cobwebs in the attic
dust particles
dance in the sunlight

Jenifer Hagen & Willa Heath

grandpa's fishing poles
grandma's doilies
cobwebs in the attic
memories
are still alive

Jenifer Hagen & Josh lane

wake to darkness
ice hits the window
back in bed

Dee Woods

wake to darkness
ice hits the window
back in bed
my warm blanket
welcomes me again

Dee Woods & Jenifer Hagen

people crying
and talking
dinner at church

Glen Sims

people crying
and talking
dinner at church
flowers bow their heads
in silence

Glen Sims & Willa Heath

the ravaging
water rages
children scream

Josh Lane

sitting on the rocks
brisk water
across my feet

Marcia Gordon

sitting on the rocks
brisk water
across my feet
arms strong and warm
encircle me

Marcia Gordon & Willa Heath

sitting on the rocks
brisk water
across my feet
beer drinking
in the moonlight

Marcia Gordon & Glen Sims

standing on a chair
she pretends to cut
grandfather's hair

Willa Heath

heart pounding
in my chest
the soft glow of the clock

Willa Heath

power out
candles lit
board games reappear

Jenifer Hagen

power out
candles lit
board games reappear
first throw of the dice
snake eyes

Jenifer Hagen & Dr. Brooks

power out
candles lit
board games reappear
children laughing
dog watching

Jenifer Hagen & Glen Sims

cheap perfume . . .
working late again
goodbye

Dee Woods
