First Place
no place to go
the urban dreams
of banyan roots
Brijesh Raj
Second Place
Third Place
mountain trail
a rope bridge across
my fear
Polona Oblak
icy flowers on window
table sour wine
time for a new man
Lydia Lecheva
Seven Honourable Mention
(In no particular order)
like you
the poems you left
will not stop talking
Tyson West
Gone in a week's time;
the impression of her scent
on my pillowcase.
Andrew Dion
nightshift
nothing but moonlight
on your pillow
Simon Hanson
autumn of life -
I still hope to be forgotten
in a cake shop
Dan Iulian
the odds
of his dying before me...
snow mixes with rain
Polona Oblak
pedant neighbor
the missing stepping stone
in his pond garden
Aparna Pathak
Restless paths
on each side the footsteps
of your silence
Luisa Santoro
