rising at dawn
a gentle slapping
on the hull

Lew Watts
Chicago, Illinois

out of his cave
at first light
a pyjamaed boy

Jeremy Haworth

meadow walk—
the raven feather
from my dream

Brent Partridge
Orinda, California

ascending kites
the wide open blue
of her eyes

Millicent Bee
Richmond, Virginia

a child’s drawing
the moon too large
for the sky
