the sand dollar
he brought back for me
my doubts fly away

all my friends in Mexico
another trip
to the tanning bed

Medea Mosxona (8)

home for Spring break
I dream of the beach—
20 minutes in the tanning bed

scent of vinegar
white eggs
on a dyed newspaper

Meg Schleppenbach (4)

peaceful sun shines
        through
a calming southern wind

crushed rose petals
underneath
my feet

Sunday health club
old man
blow drying bald head

fresh fruit market
two flies nibbling
on a strawberry

spring cleaning
revisiting time
packed in boxes under my bed

                   full size bed
sitting up—the room seems
empty

traveling alone
the first time together
young lovers grow closer

Tonya Parrish (3)

harsh winds
trip to the aquarium
with little brother

a shimmer of color
graceful movement:
a beta

crisp morning breeze
suddenly inspired to
go back to bed

late night read
appliances hummmmmmmm
fire crackles

long drive to florida
stuck in the middle seat
numb butt

Erin Crow (7)

room check
lying in bed
thinking of her

Matt Eichhorn (4)

Easter again
only reminds me
of him

Beth Stiner (4)

daddy/daughter time
he zones to the
basketball game

warm spring breeze
I work
on my swing

Matt Eichhorn (7)

Grandma’s pale soft skin
breaths become more shallow
all in God’s hands now

rainy day
my drink
has its own umbrella

Medea Mosxona (17)

continuous gust of wind
I drive slower
past the overturned semi

Eric Sharp (6)

first night home
hearing squirrels race
across the roof

Meg Schleppenbach (6)

every class
homework
for spring break

Jane Millikin (3)

waves
up against the rocks
you pressing on my mind

corner booth
old friends
sharing cold fries
