Celestial Body

celestial body

(10/27 , 1996)

FIRST PLACE

 he blows  

on hot potato soup -  

a winter moon                         

--Sue Stanford     

ebb tide     

the dark water     

carries the moon away                                         

--Yu Chang

SECOND PLACE

counting the stars  

she uses her little fingers   

and mine..                  

--Harsangeet Kaur Bhullar

THIRD PLACE

clouds cover the stars       

the tea grows cold       

between us                         

--kim             

jars and jars of honey            

lining the market stand -            

warm autumn sun                                       

--Mark Alan Osterhaus

BELOW THIRD PLACE

crescent moon     

from the jack-o-lantern     

a flickering smile                               

 --Susan         

the scarecrow         

embraces         

the night sky                             

--roberta beary               

gridlock               

on the freeway--               

the skywriting drifts                                                

--Michael Dylan Welch                      

Just a bit of light                      

dipped in a lot of darkness                      

Thin crescent of moon                                                        

--Ted M. Zachweija   

morning star pierces   

sky of indigo and rose   

just before sunrise                                

 --Cindy                    

the last golden apple                    

high among the browning leaves                    

---the noonday sun                                                 

--Mike F
