the horse's tail
softly hitting my leg . . .
dogs barking in the distance

hot dogs
sizzling on the grill . . .
smoke up to the moon

Michael Thomas

silence
of the mountain camp . . .
roar of a mountain lion

Nicole Boliard

the crackling of the fire . . .
the burn of ashes
falling on my jeans

Paul Heffernan

the water glistens
a fisherman
reels in his catch

Sheldon Long

people talking . . .
popcorn cooking
over an open fire

Michelle Lange

moon rises over the field . . .
something's coming after us,
what is it?

Nikki Cabneg

mist over the water . . .
rays of sun
pouring through it

Brad Bainbridge

sun rise . . .
lake water ripples
behind the ducks

Lindsey Askins

a big turkey
in the center of the table . . .
stuffing falling out

Jordan Wilhot

soft lapping of water . . .
the sun rises over a rowboat
on the lake

Jeff Ross

fog over the lake . . .
the feel of warmness filling
the sky

Ashley Moore

colorful leaves
cover the ground . . .
slackers with leaf blowers

Danny Power

the turkey on the table . . .
gravy spills over
my mashed potatoes
