The Heron's Nest

a shaft of morning light
the pure note
of a chapel bell

David Watts
Mill Valley, California

old farmhouse
the lure of feathered frost
on every window

Sally Biggar
Topsham, Maine

worn finial—
the turn at the top
of the landing

Mary Ann Conley
Marion, Iowa

inside the snow globe
our honeymoon hotel

Marilyn Appl Walker
Madison, Georgia

unfolding the years...
I mend another blossom
in the heirloom quilt

Dru Philippou
Taos, New Mexico
