Highway

highway

(2/23 , 1997)

FIRST PLACE

mountain highway -      

my foglights glance off      

a broken guardrail                                 

--jean king

SECOND PLACE

abandoned highway       

call of the crickets       

in the long grass                                  

--Yu Chang

THIRD PLACE

highway off-ramp       

just beyond the yield sign       

yellow daffodils                                 

--Susan

BELOW Third PLACE

purple clouds  

flanking the highway-  

wild pansies                        

--Ferris      

narrow highway-     

not noticing the trees     

until the shadows                                

--Neca           

through the din          

of highway traffic -          

a distant caw                                  

--doris k.   

another argument   

the highway goes on and on   

and so does he                            

--roberta beary           

sheen          

of the wet highway          

silver sky                              

--Laura Young                  

dark highway                 

beyond the headlights                 

somewhere, the dawn                                                 

--ken kuniyuki         

busy highway         

trucks roll by         

his pail and little shovel                                              

--willard                   

night highway -                  

snowshoe hare sits transfixed                  

by full moon                                         

--Paul MacNeil   s

now-tipped grasses   

fringe the highway -   

she hugs her scarf closer                                      

--Hilary Tann         

we start we end in sky --         

this day on a prairie highway                                                   

--chuck                

highway rest stop --                

the incessant honking                

of Canada geese                                         

--Charles Trumbull     

everybody rides     

the information highway     

nobody driving                              

-- Jerry Reynolds   

sticks and stones   

pave the highway   

of my life                       

--Patricia A. Laurent          

the Hume Highway         

expunged by rain -         

forked lightening                                    

--Sue Stanford
