open the curtains
the season changed
so did you

Tristan Gammell

a flag
whistling through the air
no hands to steady it

sparks flying high
marshmallows blackened
the laughter

Trevor Greenwood

darkness
quiet as a whisper
he left

Trevor Greenwood

fireworks
newborn baby
brother

summer time
cool breeze driving
with the top off

cool summer night
mason jars illuminating
crackling wood

Lucy Koger

soaked clothes
snowflakes swirling down
on a magical top hat

Lucy Koger

silence
moon hidden,
the streetlights

Tristan Gammell

campfire of youth
ages gracefully to weed
ash and smoke

Tristan Gammell

perspective or truth
mine
or yours

Tristan Gammell

one child
with only chalk
creates a world of fun

Jasmine Clark

out he came
silence
she answers with

familiar smooth cracks
my fingers
glide along the wall

Trevor Greenwood

a house
with the lord
yet no son(shine)

cars rushing by
a jar full of change
small plastic cups filled to the brim

hopscotch board
on the sidewalk
my own rules to the game

Jasmine Clark

a fatherless child
lots of love and gifts
a group to support her

thick July heat
I stop to admire
the woods around me

Brendan Menacher

long day of work
comes to a close
a float trip

Brendan Menacher

boredom strikes
Madden 20
Xbox

Diata Drayton

kayak passing over
the lilies
a whispered complaint

Lucy Koger

submerged fingertips
in the cold lake current
dancing dragonflies

hurtful words
hits that hurt
a good girl gone bad

Jasmine Clark

dirty hands
tight woven basket
smell of fresh strawberries

Lucy Koger

a Christmas vibe
and a hard knock life
a gift from God

religious mother
a religious child
filled with questions

Jasmine Clark

bright light
stars
the myths and legends

teenage troops
scar a tree
carve our hearts

Tristan Gammell

morning
laces are strapped
ready, wrestle

Diata Drayton
