warm cookies
the smell of cinnamon
throughout the house

family time
playing games

Britney Allen &
Pamela Kennedy

sliding across the ice 
no need 
for breaks 

pink noses 
and rosy cheeks 

Pamela Kennedy &
Shureda Casterberry

sliding across the ice
no need
for breaks

as we continue
to ice skate

Pamela Kennedy &
Britney Allen

the fire burns
we talk
all night

Sparks flow in the dark skies
Secrets are revealed

Britney Allen &
Vineece Thompson

the fire burns
we talk
all night

being stupid
while we drink our beer

Britney Allen &
Alex Blome

the fire burns 
we talked 
all night 

his head rest
snuggly on my lap

Brittney Allen &
Shureda Casterberry

the flat rock skips
across the still pond—
humming between hops

rippling waves resonate
a silent echo

xxxxx &
Michael Means

lawn clippings
in the rain —
the dog's house

is my living room,
leaving pawprints of love

xxxxx &
Michael Means

circles carved
on the glazed ice
a simple crack could go far

an unsharpened skate
calls for a bad routine

xxxxx &
Joshua Mysliwiec

after all this work
a nice shady nap
under a tree

pop a top
kick your feet up

Joshua Mysliwiec

after all this work
a nice shady nap
under a tree

the cool breeze
kisses my face

Joshua Mysliwiec &
Dannika Beedle

after all this work
a nice shady nap
under a tree

momma calls
dinner!

Joshua Mysliwiec &
Alex Blome

the longest mile
ever
she stops midway

courage takes time
one step . . . at a time

Dannika Beedle &
J.R. Baird

yellow schoolbus
full of strangers
faces full of tears

down the road
the kids bounce together

Shureda Casterberry &
J.R. Baird

fireplace warms
our frostbitten hands
creators of snowman

food in the air
family piles in

Dannika Beedle &
Corey McKenzie

willy-worms
in the September sun
soccer teams

leaves turning
it’s here

J.R. Baird &
Corey McKenzie

hot summer days
cool nights
no worries

We sit around the bonfire
Roasting snacks

Alex Blome &
Vineece Thompson

too hot to work
the air takes
the day off

the boss says
go home early

Pamela Kennedy&
Britney Allen

mellow evening
crickets chirp
not a single word

we sit intertwined
gazing at stars

Dannika Beedle &
Pamela Kennedy

strawberry garden
i bring him over
for mamas fresh pies

a bite
eyes filled with delight
