The Heron's Nest

still facing
the meadow
poet's chair

Tom Clausen
Ithaca, New York

the old work horse—
one horn short
of a unicorn

Valentina Ranaldi-Adams
Fairlawn, Ohio

evening breeze
fraying the edges
of a reed-caught feather

Paul Chambers
Newport, Wales

September wildflowers
all the shades
of goodbye

Ann Sullivan
Arlington, Massachusetts

cusp of autumn
shriveled berries quiver
in a thicket
