Christmas lights

(12/22, 1996)

FIRST PLACE   

room lit   

only by Christmas lights   

she sips hot cider

SECOND PLACE   

parting clouds...   

she checks the Christmas lights                   

one by one                                       

--Yu Chang   

THIRD PLACE       

at the mission      

two toothless men help string      

the Christmas lights                                            

--Charlie      

BELOW Third PLACE   

mirrored   

from the harbor's edge   

the sparkle of Christmas lights                                                        

 --Fran Meer                       

a sheep hangs 

in the butcher's window 

-christmas lights                              

--Sue Stanford                          

too tired      

to untangle      

christmas lights                                    

--roberta beary                            

a mother's tears         

in the delivery room         

christmas lights                                       

--Ed Shaheen                         

Christmas lights   

permanently strung:   

perennial joy                           

--Neca Stoller        

snowstorm      

traffic lights & Christmas lights      

on the blink                            

--Francine Porad                  

Christmas lights -        

family extensions        

tied up in knots                                     

--doris kasson                       

rain, deer   

on the dark back road--   

and Christmas lights!
