The Heron's Nest

polar high
the hissing of skates
on fresh ice

Dan Curtis
Victoria, British Columbia, Canada

   frigid bus stop
three breath-clouds
 huddled together

the warmth
of wool mittens
midwinter magnolia

Bob Stewart
Mission, Kansas

violet sheen
of a pigeon's neck
somewhere a sky

Scott Wiggerman
Albuquerque, New Mexico

spring thaw
the bright notes
of sparrow song
