FIRST PLACE
sultry night
the cold war
between us
Ernest Wit
SECOND PLACE
THIRD PLACE
Nothing's what it seems
in the world of men — I turn
to the summer moon
Priscilla H. Lignori
children’s moon
looking from one world
towards another
Lynette Arden
SEVEN HONORABLE MENTION
I tread on the daisies
thoughtless
on the way to the daffodils
J. Frolík
morning breeze ...
sipping the sunlight
from my tea cup
Chen-ou Liu
heat wave
a gulp of shade
under a beech tree
Ernest Wit
sun-baked stones…
blink of a lizard
startles the stillness
Dawn Bruce
an old fence
is just being repaired
by spiders
J. Frolík
tempest moon
already against
the next war
Michael Henry Lee
the maple leaf
sheltering last night's raindrops
from the morning sun
Marie Shimane
